Sex jas as much to do with "culture and gender as it has to do with
biology there are cultural variations for sex. What do sociologists
mean by that?

I'm about to get my BA in sociology from a top tier school and my best
understanding is that different cultures define and qualify sex and
its according roles differently.  Take for example a society such as
ours where a woman might be regarded as a powerful business figure
juxtaposed with a fundamentalist muslem culture where a womans role
might not leave the home.  In both cultures the biology and genetics
that make up the two women are nearly identical but the variations in
the way that sex is expressed is a world apart. Also look at the fact
that many cultures see child rearing as a womans job, but in todays
America more families have working mothers with child rearing fathers.
 In this aspect sex roles have more to do with culture than with
biology.
