Trees were regarded as phallic symbols by the Canaanites and other fertility cults.<br /><br />2. Figs had a long history as aphrodisiacs among agrarian societies.<br /><br />3. A garden is often used as a metaphor for both the female body and the female sex organ in Middle East poetry.<br /><br />4. An enclosed garden was an idyllic setting for having a romantic interlude in ancient times, much like a bedroom is today.<br /><br />5. Serpents were worshipped as phallic symbols in many ancient cultures.<br /><br />6. The apple was a symbol of the female sex organs, as well as being regarded as an aphrodisiac.<br /><br />7. Serpents were often worshipped as fertility gods in many cultures.<br /><br />8. Both Eve and Asherah, a Canaanite sex goddess, shared the title "The Mother of All Living."<br /><br />9. To "know" can mean "to have sex."<br /><br />10. Adam and Eve were not ashamed of their nakedness until after they had sinned.</strong></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8591654727084428970-5661367218224604194?l=toptenreasonssinofadamandevewassexual.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tom Gruberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15024941591382297688noreply@blogger.com0
