We know from the Bible, there’s no marriage in heaven, and no childbearing either. But it appears resurrected bodies will retain their biological distinctions between the male and female sexes.

Is heaven a place of perpetual celibacy or is there sexual activity in heaven? What do you say?

We will be like angels in heaven, per Matthew 22:30. There will be perfect friendship.
 
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence.

Jesus answered this question in the Bible;

‘In Heaven human beings will not be the spouse of any human being, but will be like the angels, neither giving (having intercourse), nor being given (having intercourse) in marriage.’

The bible also calls Jesus our ‘Bridegroom.’
The joys of being united to God in Heaven will INFINITELY surpass any joy of earth.

Scripture tells us that in heaven there will be no marriage. Sex exists for marriage, so, we can be sure that we will not have sexual relations in heaven.

We do know for certain!

Mark 12:23-25

23 At the resurrection (when they arise) whose wife will she be? For all seven had been married to her."

24 Jesus said to them, "Are you not misled because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God?

25 When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven.

Just because the rules are now only sex/sexual intimacy ect in marriage doesn’t mean the rules will be like that in Heaven. Sex is a good gift. Hopefully there will be attraction in Heaven between male and female.

Sex is only permitted within marriage. Jesus himself said there is no marriage in Heaven. Are you suggesting Jesus (God) is wrong?
 
Related to the OP question, but my guess is that heaven has more similarities with our life on earth than we suspect. It will have some sort of material aspect, since our bodies will be material things. We will have work to do, just no toil. Work was not a result of the fall, toil was. There will be no hunger, but perhaps our bodies will still require food to function. We will all work, in harmony and joy, in providing the needs of society, all under the Beatific vision. We will still serve God, not just sit around. We were not created to just sit around being perfectly happy. We were created to be know, love, and serve God. Why should that end at our death. Will it not be brought to a full fruition at death. Will there be many houses in heaven? yes. Perhaps we will all build them. Will there be leisure in heaven? Perhaps this is the one thing that will be missing. We will not need it, we will not want it. Perhaps we only need leisure now in order to alleviate our toil (which will be missing). Everything will have a purpose. Everything we do will have a purpose, and we will recognize that purpose.

All just speculating.
 
I thought the final resurrection was the end point, game over, why would God want us to reproduce after that and reintroduce the possibility of genetic mutation and pathogen into the world all over again.

I don’t think so somehow.
 
Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female."
 
If intercourse outside marriage is a sin, why would this mortal sin be allowed in Heaven?

Blasphemy against God is a sin, will that be allowed in Heaven? No.
Stealing is a sin, will that be allowed in heaven? No.
What is mortal sin will always remain mortal sin.

Our Lady said in Fatima that more souls go to hell for impurity, than any other sin.
 
Jesus said in scripture: In heaven people will not give (have intercourse), nor be given in marriage (have in intercourse in marriage),

The answer is there. No intercourse in Heaven.
Why? Jesus answered that: ‘Because human beings will be like the angels.’

Sure, but that’s prior to His Ascension. Jesus’ eating when he re-appeared to the disciples doesn’t count as an example of what life “seated at the Right Hand of the Father” is like, which is life after ascension.

You contend that things which are gravely sinful on earth will be permitted in heaven? Source for this belief?
 
  • After the Resurrection and the New Heavens/Earth it’s a great mystery as to what we’ll be doing.
1 John 3:2

“Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.”
  • I’m sure God could increase the number of humans if he desired to do so.
Matthew 3:9

“And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.”
