Jews - Why'd Adam have "intercourse with every beast & animal" but left Eve alone for 130yrs after her period?

Um, the words "intercourse," "satisfaction," and "cohabited" aren't inherently sexual. When we read older texts we have to take into account changes in vocabulary or we end up misreading the original. We cannot insert today's meanings, whether denotative or connotative, into words written that long ago.
