Will there be sexual pleasure of physical women or huris in paradise?

Heaven as described in Islam as an experience that a person will perceive through their spiritual senses. It is explained in metaphors. To interpret heaven literally is an interpretation that contradicts the Quran:

But whoso is blind in this world will be blind in the Hereafter, and even more astray from the way.

(Surah Bani Isra’il, 17:73)

To interpret the huris in paradise literally is also an absurdity. Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim describe the beauty of the women in paradise as follows:

The marrow of the bones of the wives’ legs will be seen through the flesh.

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 59, Hadith 64; Sahih Muslim, Book 53, Hadith 20)

There is no conceivable way to interpret such descriptions literally and imagine that it can incite sexual or physical pleasure in normal people. The purity of the spiritual beings of paradise is described in Islam.
