When god made man and woman he constructed each so they could mate and produce offspring. To this end man was given a penis to insert into the woman so his sperm could reach and fertilize her eggs. In Genesis 3:15 god verifies this expectation when tells Eve:
Now, I seriously doubt ether A&E knew what god was talking about when he mentioned pregnancy, what giving birth was, or what children were. But because both A&E had been given libidos (I believe this is a logical conclusion) they did have sex. In fact this is confirmed in Genesis 4:1-2 where we read
So god expected A&E, and presumably their descendants, to be likewise driven to have sexual relations.
In short, god created mankind to desire and have sexual relations. YET, in 1 Corinthians we read:
Evidently these "matters" concerned sexual immorality, and god--continuing to speak through the Apostle Paul---begrudgingly allows sexual relations between husband and wife.
So what's going on here? First god specially constructs humans so they can have sexual relations, AND gives them libidos to prod them to do so..
Later on he specifically tells Noah and family to pursue these sexual relations.
Genesis 9:7
As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it."
But now in 1 Corinthians 7:1 he unqualifiedly says that having sexual relations with a woman ain't good.
ANYONE CARE TO EXPLAIN?

I will cause you to have much trouble
when you are pregnant.
And when you give birth to children,
you will have much pain.

1 Adam had sexual relations with his wife Eve. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
She named him Cain. Eve said, “With the Lord’s help, I have made a man!”
2 Eve gave birth again to Cain’s brother Abel.
