An organism's sex category reflects its biological reproductive function rather than its sexuality or other behavior. The female sex is defined as the one which produces the larger gamete and which typically bears the offspring. In contrast, the male sex has a smaller gamete and rarely bears offspring. In some animals, sex may be assigned to specific structures rather than the entire organism. Earthworms, for example, are normally hermaphrodites.

The word "sex" may also refer to coitus, referred to by secularists as "the physical act of love." Technically, sexual acts can occur between any two people, but only a man and a woman can engage in sex for the purpose of [[procreation]]. People who practice [[abstinence]] do not have sex.
