All life was asexual at some point, but human life was never asexual.

Points.

God created Adam before Eve. Was Adam asexual or sexual before Eve.

Adam and Eve had no interest in sex prior to the eating the apple. How can you say they were sexual before since Eve had no desire or capacity to bear children. If they were sexual, it must have been for their pleasure only.

Sexual, since sexuality is an intrinsic part of human identity.

Not true. God told them to be fruitful and multiply before the fall.

How can you say they were sexual before since Eve had no desire or capacity to bear children.

Your premise is incorrect. See above.

If they were sexual, it must have been for their pleasure only.

Sexual intercourse has two purposes: the reproductive and the unative, which includes pleasure. There is no reason to think this was any different before the Fall.

The Jewish Legend of Lilith seems to indicate sexual.

And while we're at it, what kind of Intelligent Designer(tm) would create a man first, by himself, then make him a bunch of animals to serve as his "helpers", and then only later create a woman as an afterthought when the animals didn't work out? How intelligent *is* that? And just what *were* the original plans for how Adam was to reproduce?
