Why were Adam and Eve embarrassed of their nakedness after they ate the fruit?

If I ate something I shouldn't have I would hide my mouth...do you think it's possible Genesis 3 is the first parable in the Bible and it was something sexual in nature???

Please mind your manners...I love the Lord and am earnestly seeking truth. Thought it would be easier to run this thought by people I don't know than to dare suggesting it to people I do know!!

To all the atheists, please don't bother answering.

Rick...I can guarantee you I am no pervert as you so rudely insinuated.

Everyone else...really, thanks for your answers. I understand the shame part of it...but why wouldn't they cover their mouths if they ate something? If I snuck a cookie I would hide my teeth, breath and lips for fear I would be found out. Adam and Eve became embarrassed of their sexual organs...do you see my point? I know its crazy, believe me!!

A baby will run outside naked and not be embarrased because he is innocent. Adam and Eve possessed this kind of innocence. They could not be ashamed because they did not know what shame was until they disobeyed God.

Edit: You are reading it litteraly. To eat means to partake. Jesus said, he had food to eat of that his apostles knew not. His food was to do the will of his Father, The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was not the same kind of tree as the other trees of the garden. This was the tree of sex. Many people still feel dirty after having sex even if it's sanctified. Think how Adam and Eve must have felt. It's only speculation but perhaps God did not originally intend for them to procreate. He only tells them to be fruitful and multiply after banishing them from the garden.

It wasn't the fruit, my friend. It was the
"disobedience" of Adam and Eve. The Lord
told them to NOT eat of that one particular
tree. They minded the Devil, not the Lord.
Their eyes were open at that moment to sin
and that's when they recognized they were
naked. (had nothing to do with sex).

They had sinned, they went against Gods command and as a result they lost their innocence and purity causing them to realize their nakedness.

When Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God

They died spiritually immediately and they realised that they were naked

as they also lost their spiritual clothing

May God bless you as you study His Word

Law = ashamed. Grace = unashamed.
