Note how Cain and Abel are born in close succession. . Compare this with Seth's birth in Genesis 4:25, "And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth..."
The result of partaking of the 'fruit' was a knowledge that they were naked, a reference to the sexual nature of the sin (Gen. 3:6-7).
In addition, Gen.3:16 says that the woman was cursed in childbearing; a punishment befitting the sexual nature of the 'crime.'

Just because its written in the same Bible verse doesn't mean they were born in close succession. If that was the case, in verse 2 it states that Abel was a shepherd and Cain was a farmer, were they born as adults?
Adam and Eve were told to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. And this obviously involved sex. Were Adam and Eve supposed to have sex without realizing they were naked?
Also, if the fruit of that tree was sex, what does that say about the fruit of the other trees? Weren't they food?
Finally, in Genesis 3:22, God says "Behold, the man has become like one of Us to know good and evil." God says that eating of the fruit resulted in Adam being like him, does that mean that God also had sex with the serpent or had some kind of sexual encounter?
