No, sex is not in Heaven because we will have eternal spiritual bodies and there is no need for procreation or the temptations that come from the various desires of our flesh.
Sex is not a sin, it is a God given command to men and their wives.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
1 Corinthians 7:2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Misconception.
Sex is only a sin when it's done outside of the marital arrangement.
God provided sex for humans with a 2fold purpose: Procreation and expression of love and tender affection between a husband and wife.
Procreation is only a necessity of physical beings. There is no need for procreation in heaven because God created all the angels he'd ever need.
Jesus himself said that the angels do not marry and are not given in marriage, so they don't express physical affection in the same way we conceive because they are higher beings than us.

Sex is not a sin.
There are however a lot of rules, commandments, laws and what-not concerning sex in all religions, cultures and societal structures simply because of the risks and dangers involved. There are many things to consider including disease and rearing children. Before modern medicine for example, something as simple as a yeast infection could possibly be fatal, not to mention all the venereal diseases which could prove fatal to entire groups of people in the case of promiscuity. Then there is the issue of raising children. At the point when a woman is most vulnerable, when she is pregnant, while giving birth and just after giving birth, she needs the most support. Without the support of a father, what would happen to the mother and child?
Even in light of modern technology and cultural structures these are still serious issues. The spiritual concepts of love and trust come into play regardless of that technology and medical cures and treatments do not replace the need for love and caring for those with whom we have physical relationships.
In heaven there would be no need for sex in that there would be no need for procreation. Truth and honesty in relationships and the bond of love in its purest form is what we should seek here on earth "as it is in heaven".

Good question. Sex really isn't a sin when done in marriage. Sex was created for husbands and wives. We humans have taken it farther than it was supposed to be. As far as sex in heaven. I believe that we will be in glorified bodies, and won't even give sex a second thought because we will be so in awe of what is going on around us. Hope this helps. Tina

One thing, sex is not a sin down here! lol Anyway ... The question of whether there is sex in Heaven is like the old story of the child's question whether you can eat candy during intercourse: a funny question only from the adult's point of view. Candy is one of children's greatest pleasures; how can they conceive a pleasure so intense that it renders candy irrelevant? Only if you know both can you compare two things, and all those who have tasted both the delights of physical intercourse with the earthly beloved and the delights of spiritual intercourse with God testify that there is simply no comparison. So if there is no sex in heaven its because its replaced with something more intense and a whole lot better!!

Sex is only a sin here on earth only for the ones that have sex before getting married. Why do you think some people- especially females wait until they get married? Because if they don't their commiting a sin.

Sex is not a sin. Sex outside of marriage is a sin. I think heaven will be way better than sex.

What are you talking about?...Where in the Bible does it say that 'sex' is a sin?...God invented sex, otherwise 'you' would not be here today...What He says is:
Romans 13:13 - "Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual PROMISCUITY and sensuality, ......"
1 Thessalonians 4:3 - "For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you ABSTAIN from SEXUAL IMMORALITY..."
Gods design is that it's 1-Man & 1-Woman and that they shall become 1...When people start having multiple sexual partners that 'is' SIN...Having sex outside of marriage is a sin.
In heaven there will be no sex, there will be no desire for sex, what we will feel in heaven will be so much better than anything here on earth. Pick up a Bible, open its pages and read what it has to say...

Sex has been abused in itself (the word and act of). Go back to the origin, not just procreation, and make it pure again.
I beleive there is a type of sex in heaven, just not filthy like we see here. More like a beautiful union of sorts. Not to say that all sex, even here, is not pure.
Why would you say that it is a sin here? Yes, there are sinful acts using sex. Anyone can abuse a tool that was intended to be beautiful.

Well first answer why sex is a sin. I'm an atheist so you may disagree, but sex is a means of procreation for both religion and science, because we are all human. It is necessary and an expression of who we are. Sex may be a sin if it is premarital, so maybe that answers your question. But still, I believe if sex does not hurt anyone and is fully consensual, then we are free to do it, before or after marriage, because our body is ours to use.
