Sex

Sex was the action by which two (or sometimes more) individuals engaged in what was frequently regarded culturally as "intimate contact". Often, this was the means by which they procreated their species. However, as sex was generally associated with positive emotional and physical responses — except when one or more parties didn't agree to it, as during rape — sex could also be practiced for recreational, and not procreational, ends between married or unmarried individuals who were in love with one another or simply desired intimacy and/or pleasure.

Indeed, sex could be practiced between two or more individuals of the same gender, which rarely had any procreative implications at all. Precise definition on what specific actions constituted sex varied by species and culture.

Sex was also a synonym for gender.

Time Lords
How Time Lords related sexually was unclear.

By most accounts, Time Lords were implied capable of sexual procreation. The Master, for instance, claimed to have a father. (DW: The End of Time) Likewise, Susan said she was the grand-daughter of the Doctor (DW: An Unearthly Child, et al) and she had at least one child — whom she identified as the Doctor's great-grandson —by the human David Campbell. (BFA: An Earthly Child, et al) The Ninth Doctor once seemed distinctly perturbed when Rose Tyler implied he didn't "dance" — a metaphor for sex that had arisen between the two. (DW: The Doctor Dances) The Tenth Doctor also described the possibility of genetically collateral relationships when he told Martha Jones he didn't have a brother "any more". (DW: Smith and Jones) He also said that — long before his daughter was created asexually (DW: The Doctor's Daughter) — he had been a father. (DW: Fear Her) Indeed the presence of obvious sexual attraction between the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler suggested that natural, biological reproduction — or at the very least recreational sex — was possible. "900 years old, me. I've been around a bit. I think you can assume at some point I've 'danced'."

- Ninth Doctor

However, another account suggested that sex had ceased to have a reproductive function on Gallifrey long before the Doctor's time. According to this school of thought, the "Pythia's Curse" had made Gallifreyans effectively sterile. Reproduction was carried out by the carefully controlled use of Looms, which produced new Time Lords as fully-formed adults. No direct genetic relationships were therefore possible. Time Lords arising from the same House — for each House had only one Loom —were considered "cousins". (NA: Lungbarrow)

The Doctor
Though rare, there were occasional hints that the Doctor did indeed have sex.
 * Benny Summerfield and the Doctor might have had sex soon after he regenerated into his eighth body. (NA: The Dying Days) Summerfield seemed to confirm the incident when they met again at a later date. (BFA: Benny's Story)
 * The Tenth Doctor entered into a brief but intense romance with Madame de Pompadour, whom he was joyous to have snogged, and heartbroken to have lost. (DW: The Girl in the Fireplace)
 * The Tenth Doctor apparently had something of an eye for royal women, as he later consummated a wedding to Elizabeth I and enjoyed what was likely a brief marriage to her. After fleeing her — and thereby becoming her mortal enemy — he told Ood Sigma that her nickname, "the Virgin Queen", was no longer accurate. The Doctor's sexual involvement with Elizabeth I was later supported by future Queen Liz 10 and by the Dream Lord. (DW: The Shakespeare Code, The End of Time, The Beast Below, Amy's Choice)
 * Amy Pond, following a near-death experience with the Weeping Angels, attempted to seduce the Doctor's eleventh incarnation. Though he refused, at one point they engaged in a snog — which he broke off after initially kissing her back. (DW: Flesh and Stone) Later, he told Rory Williams, her then-fiancé, that she was a "great kisser", indicating that he had some basis for comparison. (DW: The Vampires of Venice)
 * It is hinted by both the Doctor and River Song that they have or will have had sex at some point, as the Doctor states that River's nights were "between her and me". Also whilst in America River states that she's "quite the screamer" before saying to the Doctor "there's a spoiler for you." hinting that she has reached orgasm several times with him.
