Sex

Having sex can be all the various things that one does and feels when one’s body or thoughts are stimulated in a sexual way. There is no strict definition of what sex is and what it is not. Instead, each single person decides that for themselves, based on their own experience.

The word sex stems from the word sexuality. Sexuality brings many things to mind. One of these things can be what qualities one has as a person and what sex one has. It can also raise thoughts of who one chooses to have sex with, how and when one has sex and how one’s sexuality is regarded by others.
