It was not sex. Sex between a husband and wife is completely holy and beautiful. The idea that it was sex is based upon the false assumption that sex in itself is evil. Sex is not evil but the abuse of sex, taking it outside of God's perimeters for it, which is within marriage between one man and one woman alone, is what is evil. It is because society is so corrupted when it comes to sexual behavior that people have come to view sex as something evil.

Hbr 13:4 Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

I know God created us with the means to have sex and bear children so within a marriage it is pure and good to God but when Eve was tempted (or seduced) by the serpent it “opened their eyes” and they then became as one of the immortals “knowing good and evil” and then they “knew” that they were naked, felt ashamed, and hid themselves. God stated that there would then be enmity (strife and hatred) between HER seed and the SERPENT”S seed. Cain killed Abel. Didn’t God say to Cain something to the effect that he is like his father the devil? Then he said that Eve’s desire will be ONLY for her husband and she’ll have children in pain. I cannot believe that all this change and punishment (even death) is based upon eating a piece of fruit. I think it is figurative.
