It is not about the disappearance of all the things we mean by the word “sex.” Humans will still (usually) appear at birth having physical attributes of one sex or the other and will be loudly pronounced as either baby girls or baby boys, with the appropriately colored, and gendered, accessories. Our descendants will still (almost all the time) have genetic contributions from both an egg and a sperm, thereby achieving the mixing of parental genes that is also sex or, at least, sexual reproduction. And, I am confi dent, people will continue to practice sexual intercourse in myriad diff erent ways and for almost all of the current varying, complicated (and uncomplicated) reasons. Except one.

这不是我们所说的“性”一词的全部消失。人类在出生时仍然（通常）会出现，具有一种或另一种性别的身体属性，并且会大声地发音为婴儿女孩或男婴，并带有适当的颜色和性别的配饰。我们的后代（几乎所有时间）仍然会从卵子和精子中获得遗传贡献，从而实现双亲基因的混合，这也是性的，或者至少是性生殖。我很自信，人们将继续以各种不同的方式和几乎所有目前各种各样、复杂（和简单）的理由进行性行为。除了一个。
