Sex - Basic Aspects of Human Sexuality

The 7 factors determining a person’s sex – in both their typical and atypical variations – are independent of each other. Therefore, in individual cases, there is a great number of possible combinations. Thus, in humans, "sex" turns out to be a complex phenomenon with biological, psychological, and social aspects. Even so, for a start, it is possible to distinguish three basic aspects:

 - Sex,
 
- Gender, and
 
- Sexual Orientation.
