Thanks for all answers-they were helpful. Yet, I wish we could already know now instead of waiting until we get there. Sex is one thing, and whether or not it's in Heaven isn't personally important to me since it's just not much of a turn on for me. But I did always feel that romance and affectionate love is very beautiful and not necessarily always selfish if you take joy in the pleasure they experience from the love you give them. So why would this kind of love have to be done away with in Eternity?
I understand what you're saying NHUX5cwD -
There is great beauty in romance that is separate from sex. The book Song of Songs demonstrates such feelings.
The Bride Praises the Bridegroom
9 What is thy beloved more than another beloved,
O thou fairest among women?
What is thy beloved more than another beloved,
that thou dost so charge us? 10 My beloved is white and ruddy,
the chiefest among ten thousand. 11 His head is as the most fine gold;
his locks are bushy, and black as a raven: 12 his eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters,
washed with milk, and fitly set:
13 his cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers:
his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh: 14 his hands are as gold rings set with the beryl:
his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires: 15 his legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold:
his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars: 16 his mouth is most sweet:
yea, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.
I'm sincerely interested in knowing this, so I'd really appreciate serious answers, please. I really don't know where to find the real answer in the Bible. I know Jesus said that we're going to be like the angels in Heaven at least regarding the fact that we won't be given in marriage. However, why would we need to eat there if we're going to be immortal without needing food to stay alive?
I wrote in the title that I'd like to think physical sex isn't there since it has perverted so much of society, but what's wrong with other romantic affection if you're in love with someone?
Thank-you.
Why would I want to be in heaven if there is no sex?? If I am married and we both end up in heaven, suddenly we can't have sex anymore?? No thanks...but then again I'm an atheist so I don't believe in heaven.
Who knew? I don't think those are remotely universal in use.

Oh, well I guess if I had tried hard enough maybe I could have figured that out but I really did try.....and no, I don't think they are universal in use, it's an SC122 thing.

Do you believe in earth?
The reason I ask is that after menopause and hardened arteries, you won't want to be here either, I guess!
