It seems ''sex'' is generally regarded/accepted as gender definition.
Qualifying the term ''sex'' any way (ie. sexual, sexy, sexist, sex act, sexuality, etc) takes it away from 'gender definition' context and infers 'sex related', or a sexual context/nature.
On most any form/application (paperwork), sex is defined as M or F, or 'will explain'... only a few occasionally reply Yes/No for ''sex''... those applicants get fewer interviews.
Urban folklore and various lifestyles define many words in their own particular contexts... most using an unqualified base term in a qualified manner (ie. I wanna 'sex' you up, I want your 'sex', Let's have 'sex', 'sex', drugs & rock-n-roll, etc).
In terms of context, the base term has been repeatedly raped/redefined.
If a female is virginal, it is widely accepted she has not had 'sex'... but in truth she may be very sexually active and engage in many forms of sexual activities... but by choice or reason not experienced vaginal sex as of yet... however still regarded as a 'virgin stereotype' (innocent in 'sex' related matters).
It would appear 'sex' is used more out of context than actually used in context, or a qualified form of expression... it has become 'slang' in use, more akin to an acronym (ie. sex = sexual acts, or acts of a sexual nature).
By true definition (a gender defining term of 'discernment', lol), there is total absence of sexual connotations or overtones... but in the hands and minds of people, it is 'judged' as sexual activity of some sort... by virtue of letters 's', 'e' and 'x' being present (but what about sextant? You sure do have a 'sexy' sextant?).
'Discernments' and/or 'Judgments' cast qualifications on the base term ''sex'', and drive it from it's basic form into a form of slang, or 'wordplay' used out of true context... buzz word!
I define my sex as male (not as yes/no/maybe/almost, fantastic/lousy, couldn't be better/could be better, virginal/nonvirginal, BDSM/vanilla, etc... all qualified contexts of sexual nature... applicable across genders).
