sex:
1. The most common meaning is intercourse , which means two people (often thought of as a man and a woman) engaging in the physical act of sex.
Etymology: From the Latin secare, to cut or divide. Quotes:
(1) Mae West: ' Sex is emotion in motion .'
(2) Anonymous: ' Sex in France is a comedy, in England a tragedy, in America a melodrama, in Germany a philosophy, in Italy an opera .'
(3) Patty O'Neill (Maggie McNamara) to Donald Gresham (William Holden) in The Moon is Blue (1953): ' Don't you think it's better for a girl to be preoccupied with sex than occupied? '
(4) Virgil Starkwell (Woody Allen) in Take the Money and Run (1969): ' In prison, I remember this psychiatrist asked if I had a girl and I said no . And he said: Do you think sex is dirty? And I said it is if you do-it right .'
(5) Sonja (Diane Keaton) and Boris (Woody Allen) in Love and Death (1975):
-- Sonja: ' Sex without love is an empty experience .'
-- Boris : ' Yes, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best .'
(6) Andrew (Woody Allen) in A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (1982): ' Sex alleviates tension and love causes it .'
(7) Nathalie De Ville (Geraldine Chaplin) to Nick Hart (Keith Carradine) in The Moderns (1988): ' Don't confuse sex and love , Mr. Hart. It will spoil both of 'em for you .'
(8) Woody Allen in Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989): ' The last time I was inside a woman was when I was inside the Statue of Liberty .'
(9) Barbara Stern (Caroline Aaron) to Clifford (Woody Allen) in Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989): ' Once the sex goes it all goes .'
(10) Sam Lester (Matthew Broderick) in The Night We Never Met (1993): ' Sex is a little bit like politics; the incumbent always has the advantage .'
(11) Young Vada (Anna Chlumsky) after a woman-to-woman talk about the facts of life with Shelley (Jamie Lee Curtis) in My Girl (1991): ' I think it should be outlawed .'
(12) Young Frank Wheeler (Michael Patrick Carter) to V (Melanie Griffith) in Milk Money (1994): 'Sex! I decided it's an evil scheme .'
(13) Lawrence Paros. The Erotic Tongue (1984): ' Sex is easier done than said .'
(14) Movie producer Frank Musso (Joe Mantegna) seduced by Norma Jean Hazelrigg (Cassidy Rae) in National Lampoon's Favorite Deadly Sins (1995): ' Before I knew what was happening she was doing things to me that I hadn't even done to me, things that Masters never told Johnson, that Kinsey kept out of his report. And when it was all over I found myself in much deeper than I had planned .'
(15) Andrew Martin (Robin Williams) about 'sexual relations' in Centennial Man (2000): ' They say (...) that you can lose yourself, everything, all boundaries , all time. The two bodies can become so mixed up that you don't know who's who or what's what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think you're gonna die , you kinda do . Leaving you alone in your separate body, but the one you love is still there. That's the miracle. You can go to heaven and come back alive. Go back any time you want with the one you love .'
2. An event/instance/act of physical intimacy between a man and a woman , between two females, between two males, between more than two people, or by one's self (masturbation).
Quotes:
(1) Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) to Annie Hall (Diane Keaton)(1977): ' That was the most fun I ever had without laughing .'

-- Jenny Sue: ' What are we going to do? '
-- Rigby Reardon: ' Kinsey from cover to cover .'
(3) Mitch Robbins (Billy Crystal) in City Slickers (1991): ' Women need a reason to have-sex . Men just need a place .'
3. In every day speech, sex and gender are used interchangeably; in the social sciences a distinction is made between them: a) sex = the biological makeup of the human body, its genital configuration, while: b) gender = the social meanings and characteristics associated with certain types of people.
Quotes:
(1) Lawrence Paros, The Erotic Tongue (1984): ' 'Sex comes from the Latin secare, "to cut or divide," and we first used the word to designate the two major categories of humanity we have come to know and love as male and female. (...) We later used the word sex not only for dividing the sexes, but to refer to qualities of being male or female .'
(2) Rosalie Maggio, The Dictionary of Bias-Free Usage (1991): ' An understanding of the difference between sex and gender is crucial to the correct use of language. Sex is biological: people with male genitals are male, and people with female genitals are female. Gender is cultural: our notions "masculine" tells us how we expect men to behave and our notions of "feminine " tells us how we expect women to behave - but these may have nothing to do with biology. (...) Gender signifies an individual's personal, legal, and social status without reference to genetic sex; gender is a subjective cultural attitude while sex is an objective biological fact .'
(3)Amanda Bonner (Katharine Hepburn) and husband Adam (Spencer Tracy) in Adam's Rib (1949):
-- Amanda : ' There is no difference between the sexes. Men, women, the same. '
-- Adam : ' They are, hum? '
-- Amanda : ' Well, maybe there is a difference but it's a little difference .'
-- Adam : ' Well you know what the French say. '
-- Amanda : ' What do they say? '
-- Adam : 'Vive la différence.'
-- Amanda : ' Which means? '
-- Adam : ' Which means: Hooray for that little difference. '
(4) Adam Bonner (Spencer Tracy) to his wife Amanda (Katharine Hepburn) in Adam's Rib (1949): ' I'm old-fashioned , I like two sexes .'
(5) Crossdressers Jerry/Daphne (Jack Lemmon) to Joe/Josephine (Tony Curtis) in Some Like It Hot (1959): ' I tell you, it's a whole different sex .'
(6) Navin R. Johnson (Steve Martin) as a carny in The Jerk (1979): ' For one dollar, I'll guess your weight, your height or your sex .'
(7) The Dowager Empress (Helen Hayes) to the flirty Baroness von Livenbaum (Martita Hunt) in Anastasia (1956): ' To a woman of your age sex should be nothing but gender .'
(8) Vicky (Elizabeth McGovern) thinking of Jerry (Beau Bridges) in Women & Men. Stories of Seduction (1990): ' I sure hate sex sometimes. His sex in particular .'

-- Edwina Cutwater: ' I am already glad to be alive. I don't need to play-tonsil-hockey with some English tart to feel good .'
(4) Leonard Cummings (Peter Frechette) to his younger brother Charles (Jon Cryer) in No Small Affair (1984): ' Sex has nothing to do with love . Sex washes off .'
(5) Blue movie producer Angelo Corelli (Keenan Wynn) to director Charly Rummel (Warren Beatty) in Promise Her Anything (1966):

-- Charlye Rummel: ' Sex never changes .'
-- Angelo Corelli: ' Only in America. In Denmark it changes .'
(6) Charles Panati. Sexy Origins and Intimate Things (1998): ' Sex and religion have always gone hand in-hand , usually in a fierce arm-wrestle. They make great conversational bookends .'

Andrew (Woody Allen) in A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (1982): 'Sex alleviates tension and love causes it .'
Lawrence Paros, The Erotic Tongue (1984): ''Sex comes from the Latin secare, "to cut or divide," and we first used the word to designate the two major categories of humanity we have come to know and love as male and female. (...) We later used the word sex not only for dividing the sexes, but to refer to qualities of being male or female. Over time we assigned specific attributes to each category. These distinctions were dutifully recorded in the esteemed OED, making-it all very official. The male was described as "the better" and "the sterner" sex ; the female, as "the fairer," "the gentler," "the softer," and "the devout" sex . Women were also called "the second" sex . For a period of time between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when people spoke of "the sex ," they had women in mind.''
''Sex is a three-letter word which needs some old-fashioned four-letter-words to convey its full meaning.'' From Murphy''s Laws on Sex.
Susanna Kaysen (Winona Rider) in Girl, Interrupted (1999): ''What kind of sex isn''t casual?''
''Love is a matter of chemistry , sex is a matter of physics.'' From Murphy''s Laws on Sex.

Uncle Benny (Ned Beatty) peeping on his sunbathing neighbor Storm Reynolds (Sam Jenkins) with a looking glass in Ed and His Dead Mother (1994): ''Sex! That''s what it''s all about. From the onset of puberty it''s what occupies ninety percent of our time, the pursuit of sex , right? Ed, sex is life and if it was a pronoun she''d be IT.''
Sophia Loren: ''Sex appeal is 50% what you''ve got and 50% what people think you''ve got.''

Charles Panati. Sexy Origins and Intimate Things (1998): ''The most popular explanation for the link between fashion and eroticism, and rapid changes in styles, is the sex-appeal theory, also known as the theory of shifting erogenous-zones . Proponents of the theory argue that the primary purpose of all womens fashion is the desire to continually reattract the opposite-sex . The driving force behind seasonal changes in styles is to arouse men sated by last seasons "look" to turn-on to a new "look." In todays sexually liberated and sex-saturated times, fashion is driven by the seduction principle. With so much sexual imagery in the media, men get sated quickly, and women must work hard to reseduce them with styles that continually shift the erogenous zone from breasts to bellies to backs to legs to hair to lips . Men, for their part, positively yearn to be reseduced, over and over again. All of this seduction, says the theory, is to fulfill the biological imperative to continue the species, even if the sexes thwart conception at every chance they get .''

Rosalie Maggio, The Dictionary of Bias-Free Usage (1991): ''Men may buy pornography but women pay for it - in terms of exploitation, rape, violence, and a society that sees them as disposable sexual-objects. Pornography associates women with pain, inferiority, and humiliation ; the assumption for the user is that this is real and normal. Good sex is also a victim; a graduate of The School of Pornography is a sex-illiterate. Erotica differs from pornography in that it celebrates rather than degrades human-sexuality . It preserves the mutuality of sexual activity, is not exploitative, controlling, objectifying, addictive, a "using" activity, or affected by prurient-interests. ''
