Sex is nature way to mix and remix genetic traits.
Sex apparition gave eucariotic cells the capacity to expland their ecological niches.
Sex is the source of most of the variations on genomic traits.
Sex allows populations to be diverse and at least a portion of that population has the capacity to survive in case of epidemics.
Sex is a way of selection among animals and plants to pass desided traits on to descendants, due choice from female, mainly.

Sex is a reproductive process. It is a machanism used by animals and insects to make more of themselves. When animals have sex they combine their DNAs to make new DNAs. The male deposits his part of the DNA by sperm. Sperm is a male DNA fragment that is ejaculated by the male genital into the female once the male reaches orgasm. The sperm then swims up the females vagina and into her ovaries. There the sperm fertilizes the ovum. The ovum is the female fragment of the DNA. Once the sperm fertilizes the ovum, it's fragment is combined with the fragment from the ovum. Once combined, the DNA is made whole and a new animal is grown inside the female womb.
After a gestation period that is dependent on the species of animal, the new animal is born. Some animals give birth to more then one young. These animals are usually mammals. Birds and fish lay eggs once they have had sex. Some animals even have sex without intercourse. Certain insects can even reproduce without having sex. These insects are clones of the parent. Their DNA is the exact copy of the parent. Sexual reproduction has advantages over asexual reproduction when it comes to surviving as the sexual DNA is more robust. Asexual animals may not be able to deal with changing environments because their DNA may not evolve in time to adapt to the changing environment. When recombining DNA, animals may select amongst mates and the fittest DNA reproduces more offspring. This chracteristic is important for more volatile environments as adaptation is quickly assimilated into the gene pool by recombination.

It is a degraded mechanism though which beings are brought to the physical world at this time. It is the game of pleasure and pain, the enticement which nature gives to bodily beings to reproduce. This mechanism fascinates the human mind since it is dualistic and brings dependency, even though; by itself it is no needed by a being to survive. The greatest physical pleasure capable of bringing the greatest suffering of mankind.

it is a process of reproduce and need two different gender to do it. without sex, we could not pass down our genes to next generation. so, it is an important to all the humans and animals or for with living things that pass down thier genes by sex.

Sex is the gender reference to a species member.
Intercourse is what most of your answerers are hinting about.
