Rafi Magid asked:

Q: SINCE WE LRARN IN YAVAMOS THAT THERE IS NO PREGNANCY FROM BIAH RISHONA THERE IS NO USE TO CONNECT THE RELATIONS TO THE BLESSING TO FISH - RATHER WE COULD SAY THAT SINCE FROM THE BIAH SHNIA THERE COULD BE PRENANCY - THAT SUIT THE BLESSING TO ADAM! (AND THAT SUIT THE FACT THAT ALMANAH HAS RELATIONS ON FRIDAY - WHICH SHE ALREADY HAD BIAH) AND THEREFORE WE DEMAND THE BIAH SHNIA TO BE ON THURSDAY EVENING

The Kollel replies:

Chazal found Thursday to be appropriate for the first Bi'ah, which is the beginning of the Ishus, since that is the day that a Berachah was said to the fish. Although no pregnancy is likely to result from this Bi'ah, Chazal considered it a good Siman for the beginning of the relationship. Thus, the Berachah is for the beginning of the Ishus relationship, and not so much for this specific Bi'ah.
