The Old Testament repeatedly presents sex as an intimate part of a relationship between two people, such as in the example of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2:24. While social consequences may be acknowledged, the emphasis is on the importance of the relationship itself. The Old Testament does not stress the separation of sex from religious behavior or make it a part of religious rituals.
