I read that Gabriel fucked Mary - are you sure?
This is the King James version and it says nothing about Gabriel having sex with Mary:

Yeah, they turned the lights out like an old film. But we all know what happened.

Are you suggesting that sex is the greatest pleasure you know, therefore if there is no sex in heaven, it can't be a pleasurable as life on Earth.
Well, all I can say is that if heaven is sex less then I will be sad. Sex is one of the great pleasures in life.

If there is no sex in heaven then God must change the desire of people who enter....and if is the case, then why not make it so there is no desire to commit sin on earth...not that sex is sinful. ..well...unless you're doing it wrong...lol.

Anyway, pleasure must be what heaven's all about or it can't really be heaven. ..right?
I think you have stated it correctly, that sex is one of the greatest pleasures in life, but we are talking about pleasures in death, and there is no reason to believe there is a correlation.

Being a slave to your loins and hormones, forever, sounds more like hell to me. I want to be free of desires, not enslaved to them. Desire is a short route to suffering.

I want nothing. And I mean that literally. Either oblivion, or existing as pure energy, with the freedom of the universes to do as I will, no desires attached. Either is fine, but nothing less. What I believe I will get is oblivion, just from my experiences with unconsciousness.
