Okay. "Sex" can be done for many reason, including reproduction (making babies). In order to sexually reproduce (make babies), you first need a MALE (guy), and a FEMALE (girl). MALES and FEMALES each have a different "reproductive system." Here is the MALE reproductive system: http://nicci77.wikispaces.com/file/view/male_reproductive.jpg/140595337/583x535/male_reproductive.jpg Here is a FEMALE reproductive system: http://nicci77.wikispaces.com/file/view/adam-female-reproductive-system-thumb1.jpg/140595625/adam-female-reproductive-system-thumb1.jpg In order to make babies, first, the MALE has to get an ERECTION. Take a look at the MALE reproductive system picture. An ERECTION is where the penis becomes hard, because it becomes filled with blood. When the penis becomes hard, it makes it easier for the penis to be inserted into the female's "vagina." Take a look at the FEMALE reproductive system picture. You can see where the "vagina" is labeled. So, the male's PENIS goes into the female's VAGINA. And the penis continues to rub against the inside of the vagina, until the male penis EJACULATES. EJACULATION is the male's SPERM moves from the TESTES and the EPIDIDYMIS, to the SEMINAL VESICLE, out the URETHA, out of the PENIS, and into the VAGINA. So, basically, the male's SPERM comes out the PENIS, and into the female's VAGINA. The sperm contains the male's genetic material. His genes. Once the sperm are inside the vagina, they swim to the female's UTERUS. (Take a look at the FEMALE reproductive picture, and find the UTERUS.) That's where the sperm finds the female's EGG. They egg contains the female's genetic material. Her genes. One sperm joins together with one egg. And after that, they egg starts to grow, and grow. And eventually, it becomes a baby. After nine months, the baby is ready to be pushed out of the female's vagina.
