I think he means no male nor female.....of course, if that's the case, then there won't be "sex" either.
i'm not sure mt 22:30 means no male or female. it could just mean we will be celibate as the angels. maybe there will be intimacy, i have no idea, but that verse is a real bummer.
Let's not forget that it was God who created sex...
So if God made something as wonderful as that on earth, then I have no doubt it has not even entered into the heart of men what God has in store for those who love him...

Sex is an animal response to physical stimuli for procreation
Seeing that we will be spiritual creatures, the idea of animalistic procreation won't even enter into your thoughts. We will be new creatures not driven by carnal instincts and desires.

That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
mt 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
how do you interpret this verse? how does this change your view of heaven?
Actually the verse doesn't talk about sex. This verse only talks about the institution of marriage. In context the Pharisees wanted to know who's wife a woman would be if she had several husbands during her life. Their question implied that Heaven would arrange a marriage with one of those men. Christ's words imply that the insitution of marriage doesn't exist in the resurrection.
