Well, I know that we won't be hungry or thirsty, but I think that heaven is supposed to represent all that is good and enjoyable, so I would hope that there will still be sex, and that we can eat delicious food if we want to. But then again, maybe there will be things in heaven so incredibly better than what our finite imaginations will come up with that we won't care about anything we had or did on earth.

Many spirits do hold onto these material things, and must work through getting them out of their minds. This why at times, people see or hear Ghosts, they are bound to earth by materialism. As well another example you see in people who lose their inhibitions by using alcohol, certain spirits will influence them because they have the desire to experience it again.
Pride, vanity and other temptations and moral short-comings have to be overcome before we reach true happiness.

All of the earthly desires that we consider sins, are just Gods's original desires which we have perverted.
Sex is not a sin, but lust is the perversion of love.
Drugs are used to shield us from a bad reality, in Heaven our reality will be so wonderful that we will have a natural high.
Pride is the desire to be God, in Heaven we will see God for what He is and not need to be Him.
All of these evil desires which exist on Earth will be purified and be the original feelings God meant us to have.

When we reach the height of our earthly desires like sex don't we feel as if we are in heaven?
Then I'd expect we feel all when in heaven without the sex etc
And...
I have had paranormal experiences where I have felt in heaven and there was so much love and peace in the experience that sex could never give me that, and I've had some good sex....just saying it how it is

provided there is a heaven, I would say no because it is desire that causes most conflict between humans. I think most people picture heaven without conflict (otherwise there will be some suffering), however without conflict comes boredom, but I'm sure there's a way that having nothing, in every sense of the word, will be placid.

Even on earth itself we can live without earthly desires, so imagine in heaven! This has been proven by many, i.e. Jesus, Gandhi, MLK, whose heart and eye were fixed in the spiritual and not in the material.

Sex, drugs, alcohol, pride, and vanity are not perfect. Heaven is perfect, you will not need any of that.

most unfortunately, no.
Heaven is a place of peace and contentment and the euphoria of being one with god.
A really ******* boring place that needs a good pub and a football league.

no. because these things you mentioned are temporary. They may make you happy but in the long run they all lead to destruction on earth. They usually wreck families and yourself.

No. In Heaven there will not be any of the Earthly lust of the flesh:
