Rrhain has just made a comment that made me realise there's something I've never questioned before. Why did Adam and Eve feel the need to cover their sexual organs upon realising that they were naked? From where did this specific sense of shame come? Why did they not cover their noses? This obviously makes complete sense when Genesis is regarded as the just-so story of the Jewish oral tradition. But if it is regarded as literal truth??? Anyone? Anyone?

The immediate effect was Adam and Eve could no longer look upon each other’s unclothed bodies in a pure way.
​
What does this mean? Is sexual desire 'un-pure'? Did Adam and Eve have no sexual desire before they ate of the tree?
