I kinda touched upon this focused topic before, in the thread entiled "So what's so great about a Christian Heaven?" [replies remain invited, as always].
I'll simply repost a part of my summary from that OP in reply:
"Let me see if I get this heaven deal now...
I get eternal life in a place with no pain or sorrow.
I get to be happy all the time, for trillions of years, nonstop.
I get a house with no purpose to live in...forever.
Beyond constantly and for all eternity praising the Almighty for His generosity and compassion in providing these fabulous heavenly digs, my eternal existence serves no purpose.
I dont need a job.
I dont need to eat or sleep.
I dont need to strive for anything.
I dont need to learn anything.
I dont need to know anything.
I dont need to solve anything.
I dont need to aspire to anything.
I dont need to create (or repair) anything.
Theres no where else I need to be, even if I wanted to go there.
I dont need to protect anyone, for there is no evil.
I dont need to cheer or support anyone (excepting God Himself, of course), for everyone is eternally filled with joy.
I dont need to mend anyone, for all are impervious to pain, injury, or sorrow.
I may get to spend eternity with my loved ones, but am I permitted to love them more than anyone else - and if so, what forms of expressed affection are OK with God (if you think going without sex for six months is an eternity - try a billion years on for size and see how it suits you)?
Never again a dull moment in heaven. Joy, joy, joy. Never a need for the simple pleasures of tilling a garden, singing along to favorite Eagles song, watching a sunset over the sea, playing fetch with your dog, or preparing a special breakfast-in-bed for your spouse. No plumbing to fix, no shingles to replace, no lawn to mow. Joy, joy, joy.
No heroes. No villains.
Perfection forever.
FOREVER.
And then some....
Heaven as paradise? Sounds like Hell to me.
Excuse me while I pour myself a nice hefty snifter-full of cognac, fire up a decent cigar, sit back in my comfy chair, and watch a TiVod Bill Maher on my wide-screen TV in rich Dolby Surround.
While I still can..."

Eternal sex would be great. 
Maybe in heaven I'd have a shot with my ex again.

It's hard to imagine sex in heaven if there is no lust/desire to have sex in heaven or is the term "lust" used by the Savior to describe only an unhealthy sexueal desire.
Will sex be different (a different tyoe if experience) in heaven ???
Can we reconcile this scripture, which states the lusts of this world will pass away, with the fact that there might be a different type or way of experiencing sex in heaven ???
1 John 2: 17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Do these scriptures give us a clue ???
Romans 6: 12
Let not sin therefore reign in your a mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Romans 13: 14
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans 6: 12
Let not sin therefore reign in your a mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Romans 13: 14
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Yeah, I remember that thread.s2a said:
And I'll post a part of your part of your summary, since it doesn't describe my view of heaven at all!
Maybe that's how you see Heaven. I plan to have a life filled to overflowing with purpose. I see myself as being given the potential to strive, learn, known, solve, aspire and create just about anything I want to. Enjoy your cognac. If you believe that's as good as it's going to get for you, I'm sorry. On the other hand, to each his own.

They've set up some standards, but "sticking noses" to me means something a lot more intrusive than that. I've not heard of the Church giving anyone the third degree about contraceptive use or snooping around the medicine cabinet, anyway.
None taken.
I have to say, the element of hypocrisy doesn't do much for me either. I mean, I will happily make allowances for the fact that humans, even religious leaders, do make mistakes, but when problems like that look systemic, that's another matter.Maybe it helps that I was an atheist myself for years, but I've never had a problem understanding why someone might be an atheist, considering the problems religions have had and still have with hypocrisy. (Yeah, and some other things as well.)

Booko said:What's scary about non-existance?
Non-existance upon death is scary for most people because it means a permanant good-bye. For those who have lost little ones or any loved one for that matter, the thought of no life after death is very scary. On the other hand those who believe that life continues in some form after death there is much hope and anticipation in being reunited with loved ones.

I'm in paradise, and I can report that there's definitely sex.
