since it is widely regarded, (even by righteous people), as the most pleasant thing in life? For those who believe that God made us what we are, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that he would reward people by providing them with lots and lots of great sex?

After getting the answers from Christians, you must be convinced by now that the Christian concept of Heaven is boring as hell! Actually, Hell begins to appear as more of a fun place.
That's why the Islamic concept of Heaven makes lot more sense. In Islamic heaven you will live with your wife and children and you will also have other wives [not the 72 virgins, which is nothing but an unreliable Hadith] but at least enough for Heaven to be a better place than Earth. If the world can give you more pleasure than Heaven, why is it not better?
Christians will argue that there will be other pleasures. But why not sex? Why ban it? What's wrong with it?
The problem is the Christian concept of the Original Sin, which can lead anybody to believe that sex is shameful, unless it's for procreation. And because Jesus allegedly didn't get married, Christians don't like sex or accept it in addition to Christianity---not as part of it. And that's why it's hard for them to imagine that God/Jesus would allow sex in Heaven.

The Bible does not say that. Jesus said that we would be like the angels, neither marring or giving in marriage. There would be no need for sex if there is no marriage. In some of the near-death experiences, men and women of God claim that this activity is for the earth people but there is no need for it in heaven. Read the book "Caught up in Paradise" by Dr. Richard Eby

You are proceeding under worldly thinking.
In Heaven, there will be only one thing thing that God's children will be doing-praising Jesus!
Now this may not sound very fun, but you are only thinking in earthly, finite terms-not infanite, which, is what all those who know Christ as Lord & Savior will be!
1 Corinthians 15:35-49 (New International Version)
The Resurrection Body
35But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" 36How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 48As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

Heaven is basically a neverending Sunday mass service. Certainly, anything which is not sanctioned by the clergy isn't allowed there.

The things of this life will be done away with.
Can you imagine? There's something better than sex awaiting those who go to heaven?
Cool.

You'd think so. But Christians tell me there is no sex in heaven as there is no "need" for it....

There is no sex in heaven. There is no fleshly desire. We will be with our Lord and honor and serve Him in pure love.
