In one story, the Big Bad Wolf likes to eat pigs. In another, he likes little girls. There's no contradiction, just two different stories.

You think girls are pigs!
No contradiction. There may be more than one wolf or, if there is only one, he may have varied eating habits.
There are discrepancies between the accounts in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 but your claim is not one of them. There's no reason to insist that God told Adam and Eve to procreate before giving them the means and/or motive to do so. The time line is not that distinct.

Thus sex has an evil application and thus A & E could not know of it.
You're confusing the thing with the use of the thing. Most things can be used for either good or evil but that doesn't make the thing itself good or evil. It's just a thing. It's morally neutral. Only the user can be good or evil.
A pillow isn't evil but it can be used for evil purposes.

Be it evil in itself or in it's use, those evil aspects or uses could still not be known to A & E as they knew nothing of good and evil, be it the thing itself or the use of it.
But Adam and Eve could still use sex without knowing anything about its good and evil implications.

You cannot turn right or desire to turn right if you do not know you can turn right or what turning right means.
Of course you can. Animals that don't have the knowledge of good and evil turn right every day.
All you need to turn right is a body that will turn right. The only desire you need is the desire to turn right. You don't have to know right from left and you certainly don't need to know the good and evil aspects of left and right.
