By interpreting the one thing they did which they were told not to do as making woopie with Satan then this verse becomes God telling Adam he can get funky with any thing, creature or whatever in the Garden except for Satan (and his band of angels I guess). To be clear we have God saying it is ok for Adam to perform acts which are unnatural (except for one with Satan) and later God would tell His people to stone a person that does these things.
That's ignoring an entire level of it. Fruit is a term that's applied to a wide range of things in the Bible from the sexual to the results of someone's attitude/belief towards God on to prophecy and an entire nation of people (parable of the fig tree). My point is that fruit functions on several levels, as does everything in the Bible. If you're trying to read sex into everything that happens, I'd argue that you miss much of the point of that part of Genesis.Fruit doesn't always have to be sexual. However, with the end result of Adam and Eve, we know it to be. God didn't tell Adam to do anything unnatural. To think so or to suggest that we think that is absolutely absurd. He created Eve for Adam and I think it's pretty evident Adam knew that.
