Perhaps we should consider why he made man and women in the gearden a place that is in all sense heaven on earth. Yes Adam was lonely but he could have made a women from the dust itself but instead he made her from Adam. Think also of the sun and the moon, the moon is feminine is hebrew culture it reflects the sun in essense the moon shows it's light not from itself but from the sun.

Sex has fleshly urges and is for making offspring in heaven we would have no need for this as we are no longer flesh and do not need to produce offspring so having male and female in heaven is not about sex it is about the reason he made man and women to begin with it is to show that we were cut were from his cloth

Consider also this what about sleep? imagine you are given in your mansion a bed of royalty more than that even sheets and blankets and pillows so divinely soft cool to your skin as if your enveloped in his arms the absolute best sleep you can imagine so peaceful and wonderful, we wouldn't sleep because we need it we would sleep because it is for enjoying the blessing he has for us. Anything we eat drink sleep run everything we do here is a pale imitation to the real thing, we need all this to survive here but not so in heaven.


if say we were to have sex in heaven what purpose would it serve? we won't know fleshly urges and have no need for offspring

Not just jobs but serious responsibilities. You will not be obsessing about sex in Heaven. So it is time to get married, settle down, and change your focus.
we will have jobs, there will be no time, remember. Time comes to an end. I'm trying to get you to keep in mind, you're viewing heaven through eyes in a corrupt world.

"Sex has fleshly urges"....we will have bodies, eat and drink....all fleshly desires too. Sex isn't just about having children.

More silliness. There is no comparison between earth and Heaven. We have very little detail about things in Heaven. And that is how God wants it. Eye has not seen nor ear heard...
We will have physical bodies, able to eat, drink and work.

male and female have always been designed to be connected into a partnership called marriage.
then spiritually, we're designed to be connected into marriage with God.
and for the purpose of continuing human life until the Plan of God is finished, God, designed reproduction.
in Heaven, we remain married with God for all Eternity.
but Populating, through reproduction, will no longer be needed.
thus, there will be [NO] more hormone + testosterone urges.
the luggage might still be traveling full intact.
but the ability no longer functions.

The bible does not say we're married to GOD.

"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. "

"men began to multiply on the face of the earth," (mankind) sons of God saw .....Sons of GOD, separate from men, a different group.
"Populating, through reproduction, will no longer be needed." nothing in the bible says there will be no procreation in heaven.

Why do you think we will be living in mortal flesh that ages and is corrupt?

considering sex was intended to bare children, the majority of times we see sex mentioned is with idol worship, false temple prostitutes, or adultery all the way to same sex issues and destruction.

nowhere, do we see any form of Worship to our God where sex is involved.

Sex, was only intended to make babies and keep a marriage closer.

but God does not condone sex anywhere else, especially connected to His Holiness.

Heaven, is Holiness.

there will be "NO SEX!"

I didn't even consider a form of worship very insightful.

Than you have never read the Song of Solomon. There's a whole book about lovemaking between a man and a woman. When GOD said "The two shall become one flesh" that was BEFORE any mention of children.

So according to some Christians and churches there will be no sex or showing affection in heaven. There will be male and female, but the genitals will not be used. We will eat and drink, so we can taste and feel, but no desire for physical attraction. Even though they have never seen heaven and we are told very little about it. They have already decided what you can and cannot do in heaven.
The Bible is clear:

Mark 12:25
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

In heaven, we will no longer have a physical body; we will have a spiritual body. …And so, there will be no marriage and no sex in heaven.

I like to think there will be many pleasures in heaven. We know it won't be all about worshiping Jesus or GOD, We will eat and drink, have jobs and homes.
I am looking forward to all of those things for sure. First thing that I'm going to do is go to McDonald's, and then afterwards, go home and take a nap. When I wake up I will drink some coffee and plan out my future, especially my new career.

If you're going to use the idea of brothers and sisters in Christ, than Christians should never get married. That's incest. Marriage will not apply in heaven. You will not have a spouse in heaven. Marriage was to set restrictions for sex on EARTH. There will be male and females in heaven. What good are genitals in heaven if there is no sex?
I fully concur with your estimate.
