... most of the descriptions of it make it sound like a horrible mind control dungeon where all you want to do is kiss divine booty all day. All wants and desires are gone (so no sex, no anticipation). Really dreadful place, don't you think?

Mark: face it, you're just making that up.

Good point Brendan.
I would say this goes for the place referred to as 'Hades' too. Since no one has ever gone there and back - and if they did, how were they able to escape being burned by the eternal flames? I would say both places are mankind's earlier pyschological constructs which employ the "carrot and stick" method, and have been used for quite some time on those who find safety and comfort in flocks.

We get a small glimpse of heaven from John's vision in Revelation 21 and 22.
And yes, for a person who dislikes God, it would be a dreadful place. We will be "kissing divine booty" for all eternity, as you so colorfully put it.
You make a perfect argument for why God doesn't just "let everyone go to heaven anyway." For you, worshipping God for all eternity would be torture. He will instead give exactly what you want, a place where God and all His goodness are completely absent.
BTW, not all desires will be gone in heaven, they will be quenched (completely satisfied). Contrast this to hell where no desire will ever be satisfied, where good things will remain always outside your grasp. But you will get to be away from that awful Deity.

No, I do not. I'll be with friends, family, and most of all God, and Jesus. Nothing could be more wonderful than that. So far as sex goes, which would you rather have, physical intimacy, or a level of intimacy where you could be literally one with the other person? This world is nothing compared to what heaven will be.

The bible does describe heaven. It is a place where there will be no more sorrow, pain or tears. Everyone will be happy over there. Isn't that what people truly want?

"Kiss divine booty"? LOL. What Bible translation have you been reading? I guess you missed the part about no more wars, no death, no mourning, no tears, no pain, no more injustice. Does that sweeten the pot a little?

you can't think of it in human terms, it's not a physical realm. It's eternal spiritual bliss with your creator. Something no human mind can ever even come close to comprehending.
