Jame Retief of the CDT (science fiction diplomat in the novels and short stories by Keith Laumer) had a great quip about this to an alien member of a species who reproduced asexually.

"I don't get it; you claim there are two types of [Terrans], male and female. Frankly, you all look alike to me."

"Oh, there's a vas deferens between us," Retief assured him.

By the way, I find your screen name singularly appropriate to this thread.

Cheers!

“Mr. Retief, make her [Retief’s Aide] stop flaunting her chest apendages at me!”

“Mr. Minister, I assure you she isn’t; they flaunt themselves!”
