Is it believed in your culture, that Mormons will be the only religious sect having sex in Heaven?

If you are an immaterialist, that is one not believing the resurrection of the body, then physical relationships would not be possible. There are many Christians who think that heaven is like a spiritual soup where our souls float around united with God.
If you follow the Bible and see that Jesus was resurrected with a physical body, then it can be seen that our relationships can continue.
Jesus taught that we can't be married in heaven. But on earth he gave the priesthood authority to seal and it would be sealed in heaven. Therefore if we are sealed for time and all eternity, we can have our families forever.
Is there another church that claims the power to seal on earth? Is there another church that marries for more than until death? There is one additional factor. We believe that the ordinances of the Gospel can be given posthumously to those who never had the opportunity during their lifetimes. If they accept them, then my Lutheran grandparents will be sealed to one another.

no, we don't believe that. We do believe that our familial relationships and friendships can continue into the eternities and that conjugal relations are an integral part of the husband/wife relationship. We also believe that we will be resurrected and our physical bodies will be perfected. How much of the physical aspects of our relationships will continue into the next life has never been a subject of a sunday school lesson in which I've participated...
But the simple answer to your question is, no, I don't think Mormons will be the only ones having sex in Heaven.

Oh, yeah, heaven is going to be just one big orgy.
Please.
Who worries about that? I mean, I was NEVER taught this in church, for crying out loud!! The only time I ever heard this was that book/movie from the gutter mind of Ed Decker.

No. We do not believe that. We believe that everyone who has lived a good life will be able to go to heaven. We do believe that Heaven is divided into 3 levels, and only those who have obeyed God's Word and been very, very good will go to the highest level, and those people will be able to continue, and have children.

No and your question is confusing. how is it possible that only one group of people can have sex. anyone can have sex here on earth and anyone married in heaven can have sex since we'll all have physical bodies.

I didn't know that we even believed that we would be having sex in Heaven. I am pretty sure that is not official doctrine.

I've actually heard that from one of my companions on my mission, but he didn't know where it came from. That's the only time I've heard another Mormon share that view.

where do people come up with these things? no. I cannot imagine any leader in the LDS church stating that as doctrine, let alone mentioning it at all.
