What are the sex


Sex and Gender Identity

  • Sex and Gender Identity
  • What's intersex?
  • What are gender roles and stereotypes?

There’s a lot more to being male, female, or any gender than the sex assigned at birth. Your biological or assigned sex does not always tell your complete story.

What are the differences between sex, gender, and gender identity?

It’s common for people to confuse sex, gender, and gender identity.  But they’re actually all different things.

  • Sex is a label — male or female — that you’re assigned by a doctor at birth based on the genitals you’re born with and the chromosomes you have. It goes on your birth certificate.

  • Gender is much more complex: It’s a social and legal status, and set of expectations from society, about behaviors, characteristics, and thoughts. Each culture has standards about the way that people should behave based on their gender. This is also generally male or female. But instead of being about body parts, it’s more about how you’re expected to act, because of your sex.

  • Gender identity is how you feel inside and how you express your gender through clothing, behavior, and personal appearance. It’s a feeling that begins very early in life.

What’s assigned sex (aka “biological sex”)?

Assigned sex is a label that you’re given at birth based on medical factors, including your hormones, chromosomes, and genitals. Most people are assigned male or female, and this is what’s put on their birth certificates.

When someone’s sexual and reproductive anatomy doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male, they may be described as intersex.

Some people call the sex we’re assigned at birth “biological sex.” But this term doesn’t fully capture the complex biological, anatomical, and chromosomal variations that can occur. Having only two options (biological male or biological female) might not describe what’s going on inside a person’s body.

Instead of saying “biological sex,” some people use the phrase “assigned male at birth” or “assigned female at birth.” This acknowledges that someone (often a doctor) is making a decision for someone else. The assignment of a biological sex may or may not align with what’s going on with a person’s body, how they feel, or how they identify.  

The factors that determine our assigned sex begin as early as fertilization.

  • Each sperm has either an X or a Y chromosome in it. All eggs have an X chromosome.

  • When sperm fertilizes an egg, its X or Y chromosome combines with the X chromosome of the egg.

  • A person with XX chromosomes usually has female sex and reproductive organs, and is therefore usually assigned biologically female.

  • A person with XY chromosomes usually has male sex and reproductive organs, and is therefore usually assigned biologically male.

Other arrangements of chromosomes, hormones, and body parts can happen, which results in someone being intersex.

What’s gender?

Gender is much bigger and more complicated than assigned sex. Gender includes gender roles, which are expectations society and people have about behaviors, thoughts, and characteristics that go along with a person’s assigned sex.

For example, ideas about how men and women are expected to behave, dress, and communicate all contribute to gender. Gender is also a social and legal status as girls and boys, men, and women.

It’s easy to confuse sex and gender. Just remember that biological or assigned sex is about biology, anatomy, and chromosomes. Gender is society’s set of expectations, standards, and characteristics about how men and women are supposed to act.

What’s gender identity?

Your gender identity is how you feel inside and how you express those feelings.  Clothing, appearance, and behaviors can all be ways to express your gender identity.

Most people feel that they’re either male or female.  Some people feel like a masculine female, or a feminine male. Some people feel neither male nor female. These people may choose labels such as “genderqueer,” “gender variant,” or “gender fluid.”  Your feelings about your gender identity begin as early as age 2 or 3.

Some people’s assigned sex and gender identity are pretty much the same, or in line with each other. These people are called cisgender. Other people feel that their assigned sex is of the other gender from their gender identity (i.e., assigned sex is female, but gender identity is male). These people are called transgender or trans. Not all transgender people share the same exact identity.

Medically reviewed by Emelia Arquilla, DO — By Tim Newman on May 11, 2021

People often use the terms “sex” and “gender” interchangeably, but this is incorrect. Sex and gender are different, and it is crucial to understand why.

“Sex” refers to the physical differences between people who are male, female, or intersex. A person typically has their sex assigned at birth based on physiological characteristics, including their genitalia and chromosome composition. This assigned sex is called a person’s “natal sex.”

Gender, on the other hand, involves how a person identifies. Unlike natal sex, gender is not made up of binary forms. Instead, gender is a broad spectrum. A person may identify at any point within this spectrum or outside of it entirely.

People may identify with genders that are different from their natal sex or with none at all. These identities may include transgender, nonbinary, or gender-neutral. There are many other ways in which a person may define their own gender.

Gender also exists as social constructs — as gender “roles” or “norms.” These are defined as the socially constructed roles, behaviors, and attributes that a society considers appropriate for men and women.

Sex assignment typically happens at birth based on anatomical and physiological markers.

Male and female genitalia, both internal and external, are different, and male and female bodies have distinct hormonal and chromosomal makeups. Doctors use these factors to assign natal sex.

At birth, female-assigned people have higher levels of estrogen and progesterone, and while assigned males have higher levels of testosterone. Assigned females typically have two copies of the X chromosome, and assigned males have one X and one Y chromosome.

Society often sees maleness and femaleness as a biological binary. However, there are issues with this distinction. For instance, the chromosomal markers are not always clear-cut. Some male babies are born with two or three X chromosomes, just as some female babies are born with a Y chromosome.

Also, some babies are born with atypical genitalia due to a difference in sex development.

This type of difference was once called a “disorder of sex development,” but this term is problematic. In a 2015 survey, most respondents perceived the term negatively. A further review found that many people do not use it at all, and instead use “intersex.”

Being intersex can mean different things. For example, a person might have genitals or internal sex organs that fall outside of typical binary categories. Or, a person might have a different combination of chromosomes. Some people do not know that they are intersex until they reach puberty.

Biologists have started to discuss the idea that sex may be a spectrum. This is not a new concept but one that has taken time to come into the public consciousness. For example, the idea of sex as a spectrum was discussed in a 1993 article published by the New York Academy of Sciences.

In the United States, gender has historically been defined as a binary. Many other cultures have long recognized third genders or do not recognize a binary that matches the American understanding.

In any case, the idea of gender as an either/or issue is incorrect.

Someone who identifies with the gender that they were assigned at birth is called “cisgender.”

Someone who is not cisgender and does not identify within the gender binary — of man or woman, boy or girl — may identify as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer, among other identities.

A person whose gender identity is different from their natal sex might identify as transgender.

A 2016 review confirms that gender exists on a broad spectrum — in contrast to the genetic definitions of sex.

A person may fully or partially identify with existing gender roles. They may not identify with any gender roles at all. People who do not identify with existing gender binaries may identify as nonbinary. This umbrella term covers a range of identities, including genderfluid, bigender, and gender-neutral.

Gender and society

Gender is also a social construct. As the World Health Organization (WHO) explains:

“Gender refers to the socially constructed characteristics of women and men, such as norms, roles, and relationships of and between groups of women and men. It varies from society to society and can be changed.”

Gender roles in some societies are more rigid than in others. However, these are not always set in stone, and roles and stereotypes can shift over time. A 2018 meta-analysis of public opinion polls about gender stereotypes in the U.S. reflects this shift.

Gender and health

There are complex relationship between gender and both physical and mental health.

Health systems are not gender-neutral.

A WHO report highlights the ways that gender stereotypes and stigmas influence a person’s healthcare experience. Gender stereotypes can affect health coverage, pathways of care, and accountability and inclusivity within health systems throughout the world.

A review of first-hand case studies shows that by failing to address gender-based inequalities, health systems can reinforce prescriptive and exclusive gender binaries.

The researchers also emphasized that these inequalities in care can intersect with and amplify other social inequities.

The review concluded that health systems must be held accountable to address gender inequalities and restrictive gender norms.

A person may identify and express their gender in different ways.

Gender identity is how a person feels internally, while their expression is how they present themselves to the outside world. For example, a person may identify as nonbinary but present as a man to the outside world.

GLAAD, formerly called the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, describes gender identity as “one’s internal, personal sense” of belonging at some point on or off of the gender spectrum. The organization adds:

“Most people have a gender identity of man or woman (or boy or girl). For some people, their gender identity does not fit neatly into one of those two choices.”

GLAAD describes gender expression as: “External manifestations of gender, expressed through one’s name, pronouns, clothing, haircut, behavior, voice, or body characteristics. Society identifies these cues as masculine and feminine, although what is considered masculine and feminine changes over time and varies by culture.”

For centuries, many societies have enforced the notion that a person is either a man or woman based on their physical characteristics. This idea conflates sex and gender, which is incorrect. Sex and gender are not the same.

In general terms, sex refers to a person’s physical characteristics at birth, and gender encompasses a person’s identities, expressions, and societal roles.

A person may identify with a gender that is different from their natal sex or with no gender at all. The latter identity is often referred to as nonbinary, but this is an umbrella term that covers many identifications.

Another study by scientists made it possible to determine which sex brings the most satisfaction. According to The Times of India, 544 sexually active men and women took part in the experiment.

Volunteers were asked to fill out special questionnaires, where they had to indicate the degree of satisfaction from sexual intercourse opposite each motivation for having sex.

For example, arousal, revenge, a desire to reduce stress, the social status of a partner, an increase in self-esteem, a desire to have an orgasm, burn calories, try new methods, love and marital obligation were suggested as possible reasons for sexual intercourse.

As a result, curious facts came to light. It turns out that most of the subjects get the most vivid sensations by having sex not only out of love, but also out of a sense of duty. But for the sake of obtaining material benefits or to achieve success, sex does not bring much pleasure.

Scientists also explain how good sex is good for a person. Firstly, it gives the necessary "shake-up" in everyday monotonous life. Secondly, it makes the body and brain work in a way that no other traditional physical exercise can.

In addition, sex helps to improve mood on a chemical level without additional additives. During sexual intercourse, the body releases endorphins, known as feel-good hormones. Also, sex is a good sedative, because before the onset of orgasm, the brain produces oxytocins - hormones that calm the nerves.

Daily sex helps burn calories, helps the body produce collagen, which is largely responsible for maintaining a person's smooth and radiant skin. And another product of sexual activity - progesterone - helps a person fight acne (acne).

Finally, thanks to sex, a person becomes smarter, because. orgasm promotes increased brain activity. And studies by scientists from the University of Nottingham prove that sex boosts immunity, reducing the risk of getting infectious diseases such as flu and colds.

Girls are always interested in knowing what men want from sex. The secret is actually very simple. Your man wants the same as you! An exciting game, pleasure, touch, sensations, pleasant body odor and, of course, orgasm.

Animal sex

Significant signs of his mood: he just crushed his friends on the basketball court or made an important deal. This means that he will most likely want to lustfully merge into ecstasy wherever there is a flat surface. What is the reason? His alpha male instincts take over.

"When he wins at a sports game, even when he's just watching his favorite team win, or when he achieves success like a promotion, testosterone levels tend to go up," says anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher, author of Why we love".

How to intensify a man's orgasm

He may also like to be sexually robbed before breakfast. As you know, testosterone levels are higher in the morning, and most wake up in full combat readiness. “Sexual attraction often reaches its highest point between dawn and 10 o’clock in the morning,” Fisher writes (we don’t know what to do with these figures for the inhabitants of the Arctic in the winter - obviously, rely on our worldly experience).

How to use it: when he runs into the room flushed with victory, tease him by slowly removing one piece of clothing after another - in front of him, but out of his reach. Did he enjoy being a lucky hunter? Let it hunt some more.

Then let him get himself as a prize. Initiate sex in a primitive, savage position that will warm up his animal instincts. For example, standing, when he presses you against the wall, and your legs wrap around his lower back. Spur him on with the moan of an angry lioness, whisper about how good he is and what you would like him to do with you more.

Supersensual sex

Special signs of his mood: not only women want sometimes slow and lyrical intimacy. In fact, men often complain that women don't touch them much during sex, which is a great way to keep an emotional connection in a relationship. The trick is to slow down just when your partner wants romantic sex.

Surprisingly, men crave this type of intimacy after experiencing something new or different. “When your man experiences something new, his body releases the joy hormone dopamine, which causes desire,” Fisher says. That's why your precious one may suddenly feel an overwhelming desire for romantic intimacy when you're vacationing in a foreign country or on a camping trip and cuddled up in a tent.

How to give an erotic massage to a man

Another situation that can provoke the desire for slow, beautiful and passionate, “hands-to-legs” sex is when he has experienced fear. Perhaps he just almost fell off a cliff or watched a horror movie - the mechanism is the same: dopamine - desire - plexus and the desire for emotional intimacy through sexual contact. ( Attention : just don't hang it from a cliff on purpose! This is a trick for professional stuntmen, don't do it at home!)

How to use it: The next time you experience something new and interesting together - paragliding or discovering that the crocodile in the zoo is not a stuffed animal, immediately take him home and introduce him to a world of sensory cognition that nourishes the mental and physical closeness. For example, use the position of divine intercourse "Yab Yum": you sit face to face, you are on his knees, wrapping your legs around each other and caressing your hands.

Or any other open position that allows you to see and touch each other.

Lazy sex

Special signs of his mood: he put up with angry relatives, could not close an important deal, or he was driven into the bumper right before an important trip. After that, if he wants sex, then only one where he doesn’t have to move a finger, at most, unbutton his pants.

Anxiety reduces the level of dopamine and, consequently, testosterone, which, combined with exhausting work, is unlikely to inspire a man to bed miracles. The thought that now you want more bed acrobatics from him will only add stress. What a relief he will experience when he realizes that today you are ready to do everything for him yourself.

How to use it: when you feel stressed, help him relax. Assure him that he won't even have to get up from the couch. Then take the reins of power in your hands: undress him and slowly kiss him from the neck to the waist and lower and lower... Run your tongue along the crease along the inner surface of his thigh. When he is sufficiently aroused, straddle him in reverse cowgirl position, holding him by the hips for balance. As in "doggy style", in this position he can admire your charms and caress your breasts, but he does not have to expend a lot of energy.

Why do men like the back position

What is the advantage of this position for you? As you move back and forth, his cock stimulates your clitoris on its own. And if you squeeze your PC muscles at the same time, it will help both of you experience an orgasm faster and more fully.

What kind of sex men like: six rules

Regardless of the character and temperament of your man, there are six important points to consider when you start sexual games with him.

  • Take it slow. Move smoothly, undress slowly. It is especially important with exposure! Show the body in parts. Let the man think out what will happen next. His wild fantasy will work for you. Leave some mystery. This is an important thing that men really like about sex.
  • Keep moving. Who will be interested in breathless prey in the teeth? The hunter instinct in a man must play until orgasm occurs. The female body is not only beautiful, but also very plastic, delicate, in contrast to the rough male. For this, a girl needs a guy. He does not have such delicate and graceful hands or the curve of his back.
  • Show interest and initiative in moderation. Guys love independent women, but let him lead as well. Don't turn the hunter into prey. There are not many men around who prefer female domination. Suggest a change of position or pay attention to some part of his body - this is what every man likes in sex.
  • Talk to him. It is believed that women love with their ears, and men with their eyes. However, this is not quite true. Men also need to hear your approval. Moans, whispers, quiet requests to please you are the best reward for a guy in bed and confirmation of his masculinity. It's like a gold medal for his efforts.
  • Watch yourself. Poor hygiene harms the female body and will sink the Titanic of love in the first 5 minutes of erotic games. A girl should smell nice. It is advisable to keep your natural body odor. He must remember you for who you are. If the smell is hidden under a ton of aromatic additives, then how will he then “recognize you from a thousand”?
  • Never pretend. Falsity, lies, flattery, imitation are mortal sins, and not only in sex, but in life too. If people only said pleasant things to each other, then society would stop developing. Flattering compliments will harm the relationship. The partner becomes arrogant, and as a result, you will suffer, forced to endure the monotony and scarcity of technology forever.

Sex is an exciting game without limits. It may seem that there are many rules in it, but this is an erroneous opinion. It is worth remembering them once and constantly practicing, then sex will become magical, unnecessary anxieties will go away. The guy will really like this, and the woman will begin to drown in the attention of her regular partner.

What kind of sex do men of different zodiac signs like? Let's try to analyze.

Aries

What kind of sex does an Aries man like? This is, in a way, a haste. His motto is more to the point, the prelude is not the main thing. As a rule, such a man is difficult to get, but if he is yours, he will remain faithful to the end.

Taurus

The Taurus man, on the contrary, loves foreplay in sex. These caresses are as important to him as the sexual act itself. They expect the same tenderness and bunches of kisses from their partner in bed.

Gemini

Men like to talk like this. Yes, about sex. Do not deny him this pleasure. Twin partners want to hear compliments and praise about themselves and about their dignity. In addition, these are just those men who love sex toys.

Cancer

Cancer men love foreplay in sex. Particularly massage. And if you had long and tender foreplay with him, then intimacy itself will definitely be the same.

Leo

These are the partners who love long and thorough sex. And if the first time everything happened too quickly, don't worry. All the sharpest and most voluptuous things are yet to come.

Virgo

What kind of sex do Virgo men like? The main thing is that he likes the girl - and he will do everything himself. Loves with eyes. Therefore, you need to look good in order to please him. And it’s also nice to be able to take everything off beautifully. This will excite and turn on the partner.

Libra

Libra man loves to envelop his partner with pleasure in sex. Therefore, do not restrain yourself in caresses and compliments addressed to him. In addition, the Libra partner loves everything to be beautiful, and linen, and fragrances, and everything related to the bed.

Scorpio

Scorpio man loves sex like a researcher. A woman for him is an unsolved mystery. And he will do everything to reveal and conquer it. She loves to explore her partner's body, find new sensual places, put into practice items from the sex shop. Their particular passion is oral sex.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius man will fulfill everything that you dreamed about in bed, but were afraid to say out loud. However, do not relax, he will wait for a response from you. Maintain the flame of passion, whisper compliments in your ear, sigh so that his attraction does not come to naught.

Capricorn

Capricorn men are quite conservative in sex. If a Capricorn partner feels your sincere attraction and care, his feelings will be revealed to the fullest. He will surely reciprocate the tender and attentive girl to him.

Aquarius
