The word in Luke could mean “ghost” (apparition) or spirit (soul or angel). I don’t think the Eastern view has been condemned

It means that what is accepted is that the resurrected body is like Jesus Christ resurrected with “flesh and bones, as you see me to have.” The soul will be restored to a changed body rather than another body from that on Earth. The three Cappadocian Fathers opposed the idea of the restoration of the very same fleshly particles.

I disagree with your last sentence. I think that if Adam and Eve did have sex in the Garden it would have been the shame of arousal that would have pushed them to orgasm. Shame after the fall is a different complicated thing. TOB takes a simplistic look at these matters of ancient times

Orgasm and the sexual function are physical. Shame is societal.

We **learn **to feel ashamed because of how our behavior or situation is seen be others. There is no shame in a body, per se.

Methinks there is a definitional problem here.

I don’t know what was originally meant by subtility (but am reasonably sure that it did not involve the “subtle body” of Eastern philosophy, but rather a human body in a glorified form).

However, given how our LORD’s friends experienced his body, nonsolidity seems not to be implied by it.

Ethereal: extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world.

Can subtility mean something other than this?
 
Keep in mind, when you answer that question, that Jesus’s flesh and bones passed through a wall
