| I don't believe anyone with absolute certainty can say that sex will be available to resurrected or changed immortal beings, but yes, it does appear that sex almost inevitably will exist and be easily available in the next life because of Revelation 21:7 which says that the saved will inherit ALL things: "He that overcometh shall inherit all things ........" "All things" obviously would include youthful sex, but not in a marriage context since Matthew 22:30 says that marriage will no longer exist in the next life: "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels ........" Matthew 5:5 reveals that resurrected Christians will inherit the entire earth: "Blessed are the meek (the humble, not the weak willed), for they shall inherit the earth." Another verse says that we will be given "the desires of our heart," which for many people, and probably the vast majority would be sex. Psalms 37:4: "........ and He (the Lord) will give you the desires of your heart." The Bible says that we will be like Jesus: 1 John 3:2: "........ but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; ........" Philippians 3:20-21: "........ Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, ........" Jesus also had the ability to change Himself after being resurrected to a spiritual being, back into a recognizable physical being that the Apostles were able to see and even touch. The Bible records that at one time Jesus even appeared to the Apostles in a form that they could not immediately recognize (He changed his facial features), so we will have the ability to change parts of our physical body, too, if we want to do that. Mark 16:12-13: "Later that day He appeared to two who were walking from Jerusalem into the country, but they didn't recognize Him at first because He had changed His appearance. 13 When they finally realized Who He was, they rushed back to Jerusalem to tell the others, ........" according to the Living Bible translation. So if we rise up in the resurrection in an asexual spiritual body, apparently we also will have the power to, after briefly (or longer) switching back into a physical body, quickly change any part of our body to be what we want it to be, including re-acquiring our former youthful sexuality. We will be able to, at least periodically, change ourselves from being spiritual back into physical human form, at will since Jesus could do that, and since we will be like Jesus, according to the above verses. The Bible speaks of great, still unimagined pleasures, though, that the saved will be able to enjoy, which may be better than even sex. 1 Corinthians 2:9: "........ no mere man has ever seen, heard or even imagined what wonderful things God has ready for those who love the Lord" according to the Living Bible version.
