释义 | sex (once / 75 pages) 1nv 2nv Sex is shorthand for sexual intercourse and other forms of sexual stimulation. We also call males and females the two sexes.

"Male" and "female" are considered the two sexes or genders, while farmers who sex their chickens are figuring out whether they have a rooster or a hen. Sexing can also mean sexually arousing or stimulating. We hope the farmer saves that kind of sexing for his wife.
