Yeah, but he may have wanted a change of pace every once in a while...

Why did God have to use Adam's rib to make Eve? He made Adam without using anyone else's body part. Why couldn't he make Eve the same way?
I know . . . it's one of those mysteries . . . sorta like talking donkeys or God stopping the Sun in the sky so that some human beings would have more light to kill other human beings.

Adam's Rib
The woman for Adam was made from existing elements similar to Adam's creation. The existing elements came from Adam - namely, one of his ribs. This meant the same DNA, cell structure, blood type. Biologically, woman was the same as man.
"So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept, He took one of his ribs, and closed up with flesh its place." (Gen. 2:21)
The Lord Jesus Christ, the "great physician," performed surgery on Adam. He put him to sleep, and removed a rib. He chose to make the woman from the man.
"And the LORD God built into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man." (Gen. 2:22)
From the rib, the Lord "built" the woman. The Hebrew word, "built," is banah, which means to build, to construct. The meaning is that the woman was "built!" She was a beautiful creature, built from Adam for Adam. Adam had simply been sculpted (Hebrew, "jatsar") from clay; but the woman was built. The architecture, symmetry, and beauty was the crowning glory of all creation.
The Lord removed the rib, took it away somewhere, and built the woman. Then when the woman was completed (and the scripture is silent about all this), the Lord Jesus Christ personally brought the Right Woman to the Right Man. Adam, being brilliant (genius mentality), caught on immediately. He recognized her by her bone structure, and he announced her name. He yelled, "Ishah"! In Hebrew this means, "woman." Since, he had been naming all the animals as the Lord brought them to him, he continued his work by naming his counterpart. Ishah is a very beautiful word in the Hebrew.

God took the rib from Adam and made Eve from it because He wanted to make a suitable helper for Adam

I think the bible uses the term "rib" loosely, it could have been some other body part God used to create Eve, but the translators of the bible censored it to make it readable by anyone.
Mabye God took Adam's "equipment" for a short time so he could use what is in it, then gave it back to him after Even was created.

Because he had a need for a friend, even before his rib removed! That is the basic need of every human being. This has nothing to to with th situation whether his rib removed or not.

Adam was an ar$e-hole who needed Eve for a scape goat to blame all his worldly problems on. He also needed a personal body servant to wipe his butt and make his meals while he was out naming animals. He also needed to begat sons to carry on his ****-hole ways, and the rest is History.

He didn't need her but god told him that his penis was a rib and he needs to put it back into Eve. Man has been following this tradition ever since.
