The fall of Adam and Eve was from disobeying God.
It wasnt about what they did, because there was only one thing that they could not do, and that was touch or eat from the tree of the Knowledge of good and evil.
Adam possessed much knowledge, ( he named all the animals)
There were only two humans on the earth at the time of the fall and God had already told them to go forth and be fruitful and multiply, so Sex could have never been an issue, as it was not forbidden.

my question has always been.. what did they fall from? since we were (according to the bible) created only "good" and not perfect, how could we become less than that, if god had only created them once and they had the potential for evil just as they had the potential for good. i think that part of the bible is very figurative and really cannot be proven one way or the other, its more of a mystery. was adam even the first man? or was he just the first of the chosen people? my only argument against the quran theory is that we were created to have sex to "multiply" and procreate. the fact that it is one of the most pleasuring experiences in life would only serve to show that wow god must want us to enjoy it, so i don't think it would cause a "fall" so to speak. i think the fall was adam and eve's arrogance to think they could be like their creator and be Gods themselves.

Well, I'm not that religious, but from my understanding, the fall of Adam / Eve was from carnal sin (sex). So basically, if they had never done what was biologically imperative to create the human race, they would have lived happily in the Garden of Eden forever. What a limiting existence. Besides, sex is fun.

I liken it to 2 kids playing in a room with the best toys in the world. Dad says you can play with these toys for as long as you like as long as you don't fight. But Adam & Eve started to fight so Dad locked the door & hid the key & said you can't play with the toys again until you learn to stop fighting. Problem is there are so many Adam & Eves out here now I'm not sure if we can all be good enough together to get back in the room, & I'm not sure if all of us can even remember what's in there anyway.

Knowledge, as Adam and Eve were mates, so they could have sex, and before they ate of the tree there was no sin or shame, so sex wouldnt be an issue.

It is clear in the Hebrew - Eve was *wholly seduced* by Satan. The entire encounter has molestation written all over it, regardless of what Sunday school taught about the whole 'Eve ate an apple' nonsense. A KJV and a Strong's concordance will clarify this easily.
When YHVH confronted them in the garden Eve was already impregnated and soon after Satan taught her how to have sex she slept with Adam and became impregnated again, and then gave birth to Cain and Abel who were twins; one fathered by Adam and one fathered by Satan (don't believe it? just look up superfecundation, this is medically documented).
This is how evil entered into the world (not sin, but evil itself - two very different things!) and also this is why Cain killed Abel. Cain is nowhere in Adam's genealogy even though he went on to father what most Christians believe are Eve and Adam's grandchildren. These are NOT Adam's children, they are Eve and Satan's children which is why they look like us but carry evil in their genetic make up.
It has spread to all races, so don't accuse me of racism either. :)
Jesus condemned the Kenite (sons of Cain) who had taken over as Pharisees and Scribes the entire time of his ministry, and even told them outright that they are sons of the serpent; calling them offspring of vipers, and the progeny of Cain whose father was the originator of lies. It's all there, but few see it because they don't want to take the time to read the entire letter YHVH wrote in the original languages.
The Kenites control most all positions of power, just like their daddy.

The fall of Adam and Eve was disobedience.

It was disobediance.... from the bible... It wasn't the fact that they know had the knowledge of good and evil it was the fact that they were told not to do something and they did it anyway... they Sinned ... Sex has absolutely nothing to do with it... because the First commandment ever given was to "be fruitful and multiply"

It was the disobedience to God and not the knowledge they gained that caused the fall. The evacuation was for their protection.
There was also a Tree of Life, which would have gave them eternal life. This would have put them in an un-redemptive state like lucifer.
