Not to be a complete pervert or anything; this has to do with etymology. In Latin sex means the number six. I was just curious why we have the modern meaning of sex so different. Is there some story here relating sex and six?

The modern English word "sex" has no relation to the Latin word for "six". The English "sex" has its roots in the Latin word "sexus". The fact that "sex" and "sexus" are similar is a coincidence along the lines of the English words "fur" and "fury". Incidentally, the Latin word "sexus" means "gender", not the act of intercourse, which is "coitus".
