Could it be that the mere mention of something, increases our knowledge, curiosity, and desire to do said thing? Could it have been God's intention for Adam and Eve to eat the fruit, by telling them not to? But why, if that's true, would God want us to do the very thing He says not to? Would it be to increase our desire and need for grace?

And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace. (Rom 5:20, Basic English Translation)

But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead. (Rom 7:8, Basic English Translation)
