The position of most Abrahamic religions is that sex is for one thing and one thing only and that is to create children. Theologically it has it's basis in the Mesopotamian myth of the Garden of Eden. Adam and his third wife Eve steals the power of reproduction from God after listening to a talking peni...snake.
Eve was his third wife??? never heard that before. Just who were his first and second wives?
His first wife was Lilith, banished from Eden for not submitting to her husband's demand to be on top during sex, her children were ripped apart by angels. His second wife was destroyed without even gaining a name because Adam was freaked out by seeing her built from scratch in front of him.
God learned from this experience and put Adam to sleep while making Eve from his rib.
Bingowings, you love to play the devil's advocate. As I'm sure you well know, Lilith was not biblical, but part of Jewish folklore and not a universally accepted idea. The story with the third wife idea comes from a pseudeprigriphial book and has even less acceptance. Of course, since you don't even believe in the Bible, it's all just mythology of varied acceptance to you, but to most believers in the Bible, he had only one.
