In the account of the beginning in Genesis, Adam, which was the first man created in the image of God was made perfect as God looked on His creation and said/exclaimed, "This is very good". God blessed them and Adam was given his five-fold purpose:
- To be Fruitful
- To Multiply
- To Replenish the Earth
- To Subdue it
- To have Dominion over living thing: sea, air, earth
Now, when Adam saw his wife, he knew she was like him, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh", Genesis 2:23. They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. However, after the fall of man into sin, read Genesis 3, man was aware he was naked and hid himself. In a later account, Adam in his fallen state knew Eve and she conceived. In other words Adam and eve had sexual intercourse (sex) and bare children. Here is our first account of sex in the Bible.
