Initial Purpose
The initial reason God had for giving his children the gift of intimacy is quite obvious.  There was a huge world to fill with people.

Genesis 1:27-28

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.  Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

A similar command appears immediately after the flood destroys nearly all life on the earth.
Genesis 9:1,7
So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth...And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth And multiply in it."
