My apologies - makes you wonder what would have happened if Adam and
Eve had a child before the fall and the child did not have some of the
fruit :-)
I know it is entirely conjecture but an interesting thought all the same ;-)

There are many things a man and a woman can do together other than
procreation.  Companionship, friendship, and even intimate relations
can be had without sex.
Still - that is a side issue - I'm more interested in what others
think about what the result would be if adam/eve did have a child
before the fall.
