Humans need to eat to survive. We need to reproduce to survive. When we have sex it's enjoyable... i.e an orgasm. But when we swallow food our body doesn't experience the same euphoric high. Is this a flaw of nature... or did our God do this to us. We must eat to survive, so why is it not as enjoyable as sex...?

Along that line of thought you need food to survive but you don't need sex to survive, but rather to procreate and pass on our genes.
I also think from an evolutionary standpoint, those who got orgasms from eating might overeat and that would reduce their chances of survival (slow, tired, health issues), as well as diminish the joy from the real orgasm, which reduce sexual activity (meaning less ofspring).

It's a stick-and-carrot thing really. The "stick" is hunger, the negative feeling that makes us eat in order to stay alive. As individuals we don't need to have sex to stay alive, but we're encouraged to do it, to keep the species going, by the rewarding "carrot" of sexual pleasure.
I know that's a very simplistic answer; we eat for lots of reasons apart from being hungry, and the sex-drive is probably independent of the pleasure of orgasm. But I think the stick-and-carrot analogy is basically correct.

Sex is harder to get than food,
so the reward is greater.
