Sexes

Sex, or gender, was a biological classification among organisms in the galaxy, and could also refer to distinct characteristics in society and culture. It was typical for beings to identify as either male or female, displaying masculine or feminine characteristics respectively, although other forms of gender existed, including intersex and hermaphrodite.

Etymology
While the terms were typically used interchangeably, sex generally referred to the biological classification of an organism, while gender denoted its masculine or feminine characteristics in culture. Males presented masculine traits, and females displayed feminine ones; females were also known as girls or women (singular: woman), while males were known as men (singular: man).

Male
Beings who identified their biological sex as male, or presented distinct masculine characteristics, were typically distinguished by their penis or analogous sexual organ, also known as a phallus or manhood.

Female
"That's my girl. And you are my girl. I took you under my wing. Molded you. Watched you grow into the... woman you are."

- Unkar Plutt to Rey

Beings who identified their biological sex as female, or presented distinct feminine characteristics, were typically distinguished by their vagina or analogous sexual organ. Mammalian females often possessed pronounced mammary glands which were sexualized among Humanoid cultures. The vagina was also referred to as the womanhood.

Hermaphrodite
"You know, I still don't know if male Hutts have dicks. I mean, they must, right? But where would they be?" "Personally, I’m still convinced they're hermaphrodites."

- Selwyn Phasma and Leto Borian

Hermaphroditic beings were an example of further genders beyond male and female. Some believed that Hutts were hermaphrodites, although others suggested this was simply the stuff of legends.

Sex in culture
"I thought girls went for the flyboys."

- Pym Dameron

Some prided themselves on their knowledge of the anatomy of the opposite sex.

Sex in the galaxy
Some of the sacred Jedi texts on Ahch-To suggested the belief that beings could reincarnate across gender lines through the power of the Force, and individuals such as the Chosen One may have incarnated in numerous forms, as different species and genders, over the span of galactic history.

Appearances
Since sex and gender appear in all works of erotica, this list includes only those works which specifically reference them.
