What is the difference between sex and gender?

Sex = male and female

Gender = masculine and feminine

So in essence:

Sex refers to biological differences; chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external sex organs.

Gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture delineates as masculine or feminine.

So while your sex as male or female is a biological fact that is the same in any culture, what that sex means in terms of your gender role as a 'man' or a 'woman' in society can be quite different cross culturally. These 'gender roles' have an impact on the health of the individual.

In sociological terms 'gender role' refers to the characteristics and behaviours that different cultures attribute to the sexes. What it means to be a 'real man' in any culture requires male sex plus what our various cultures define as masculine characteristics and behaviours, likewise a 'real woman' needs female sex and feminine characteristics. To summarise:

'man' = male sex+ masculine social role

(a 'real man', 'masculine' or 'manly')

'woman' = female sex + feminine social role

(a 'real woman', 'feminine' or 'womanly')

I remember hearing somewhere that everyone is Bi-sexual to a point just because you can be attracted to or fall in love with anyone, gender doesn't really matter, it's the person themselves that makes the difference, and I kinda think that's true, though most men I know wouldn't admit it.

They say variety is the spice of life,
so (bi)reity may just be just an added condiment.

As for me…hold the mayo!

Okay for whom?
Bisexual is just a word.
Put out by society.
To attempt to describe you.
Like words cover it all.

Why wouldn't it be perfectly fine, people are just attracted to whoever they're attracted to, gender doesnt matter

Just because you get turned on by ladies doesn't necessarily mean you're bi. Most women are better looking than most men, mainly because there's pressure for women to "take care of themselves" while it's okay for men to run around looking like, for loss of a better word, crap. Unless you've had a sexual/romantic relationship with a woman, and enjoyed it, I wouldn't consider you bi. And even then, you don't have to be; lots of straight women do that, too. (I blame the alcohol)

Most of us that hang around are a good lot.

I hope that you find many friends here.

I am glad that you are going to be honest with him.

Its a testament that there are still good people around.

Even if he isn't really into it, your honesty and respect for his feelings might make him want to cure your curiosity.

Fifi, I hope the very best for you, and that everything works out with your boyfriend whatever you choose to do.

But I have to be the guy that says I wsould not be okay with my girlfriend wanting to experience a woman either on the side or with me.
