No!
Couldn't be. If it were, God would have contradicted Himself when He said "be fruitfull and multiply and fill the earth" - Guess what? that can't be done without sex. However, it must be in its rightful place, ie within marriage.

If you go back and look at the bible it says nothing about the actual fruit that was picked. Most people believe it was an apple, but that's simply false.
I know you aren't talking about a literal fruit, but in my opinion it wasn't sex. Eve picked the apple from the tree, Adam did not. Last time I checked, it took two people to have sex.

pasion fruit is a vine that grows on trees ,and it is very strong and concentrated acidy .not something you eat straight from the vine ,to make the drink it is diluted with a lot of water and you have to add a lot of sugar
so look for a nicer fruit to eat that Adam may have eaten ,but you wont find it because eating the fruit of knowlege was a symbolical frase not a real fruit
,just as Angels were not men with wings ,but beings that decended from the heavens ,space travelers was a concept beyond the capability of understanding in those days
and Adam was not one guy but a whole race ,called the Adams race ,and they were bred to mine gold for the Anunaki
who were Aliens(the Gods in Genisis) ,their sons laid with the maidens of Earth and produced the Nephilim

No. The fruit of the tree of knoledge of good and evil is a metaphor for judgment. It is tellig us that we need to stop judging. Just like Jesus said judge not, lest ye be judged.
Satan also is misunderstood here.
In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Why put a tree of knowledge there,and not let it be used.I think the first thing I would look up in the "tree " would be ...karma sutre..You bet it was sex.....I wouldn't have laid the snake.or the apple.metaphorically speaking that is.So what about that...look but don"t touch.....touch but don"t taste....taste but don"t swallow....Should that be the way it is....don"t put the sh** here to begin with and then say I can't use it...he's assuming that I don"t like fruit......and I'm afraid of snakes,and I don't want to get laid..........well WRONG on all accounts...metaphorically speaking.

Accroding to the quran, It was some fruit that god ordered adam not to eat as a test if he is obedient. The satan talked adam into eating it by making him very curious about it, so out of curiosity adam ate it. it made him sick and god was angry with him for disobeying him.

it was a metaphorical fruit.
Does the story imply that they had sex? Yes, perhaps it does since when they were banished they then proceded to have children...
yes, I do think you are on to something there.
/but then again, it would be something false and damaging pushed by twisted religious leaders , something mythical perhaps,
But why would God make a man with a penis and a woman with a vagina if he didn't intend for them to use it for it's designed purpose?
and for the person who said "sex doesn't come from trees".....
well, neither does KNOWLEDGE! hello?

I always imagined it as a pineapple/apple/mango hybrid fruit.
