__Gender__
The word '''gender''' is derived from the Old French word ''genre'', meaning "kind of thing". It has several meanings in modern usage:
* Gender as a linguistic term is a grammatical distinction and applies to words only, generally assigning them to the classes ''masculine'', ''feminine'' or ''neuter''. See Grammatical Gender.
* Gender is commonly used as a synonym for Sex, referring to males and females classified according to genetic differences and distinct primary and secondary sex characteristics.
* Social scientists use ''gender'' to refer to a particular social identity, status, and cluster of roles, that are often (but not exclusively) determined on the basis of sex. See Gender Identity, Gender Role.
* Situations sometimes arise where sex or gender may be mimicked by inanimate objects, notably in cable connectors that have "male" and "female" counterparts.
* The gender (pronounced with a hard G, as in ''get'') is an Indonesian musical instrument used in gamelan orchestras.
__Sexuality__
Like other primates, Homo sapiens uses Sexuality for reproduction and maintenance of social bonds.
The complexity of sexual behaviors in humans is produced by our high intelligence and complex societies, rather than being governed almost entirely by instinct as in most other animals. However, instinct remains the main driver of human sexual behavior, even if its form and expression is dependent on culture and personal choice; this leads to a highly complex range of sexual behaviors.
Human Sexuality has aspects relating to health, pleasure, and social interactions such as legal and religious taboos.
