I mated with the limited matter at the start of this physical universe, it's commonly referred to as the big BANG.
why do you expect anyone to respond to a question that a 1-minute search on wikipedia or google will answer ?
"In the eukaryotic fossil record, sexual reproduction first appeared by 1200 million years ago in the Proterozoic Eon."
(Origin of sexual reproduction)
As far as human sex goes, it is well known that this did not begin until the 1960s.
Probably long before the first multi-cellular life.
seriously
when the first single celled lifeform ingested another lifeform and didn't digest that lifeform but combined the dna,
Would that be considered SEX?
All bilogical life forms have a sex or gender. The first to have sex for reproduction as a good guess would have to be the first male and female.
Bacteria are bilological life forms and do have gender.
Reproducing activities imply gender.
Your book is saying something different than my book. I can try and explain facts to you. One view is like that of economics. Supply alone develops into supply with demand eventually seperating into two distinct units,supply and demand. The same is true in bilology, supply being male and demand being female. Some organisms such as bacteria have both male and female seperate on their chemical level, this is not as you are reading that unusual for early biological organisms.
My source here is memory. And as memory it might be flawed, but from many books, I am assuming that on average not all of it is incorrect. Thank you Mr Duck for making me stop and think. Do you have any views on gender of biological organisms or gender?
He's probably thinking of bacterial conjugation, F+ and F- mating types, donor cells and recipient cells, sex plili, or something.
Equating bacterial conjugation to sexual reproduction, as often happens, is something that just confuses people.
As I remember Procaryot is a single cell organism? Eucaryots are the ones that group together. For reproduction and duplication it is required for an interaction of two different kinds of units even within a single cell at the chemical level and is in biology known as gender.

Yes generally. (many of colonial which is a grey area between single and multicellular)
And many of them don't need sexual reproduction either... budding, cloning, and self pollination is very means of reproduction plants for example. Asexual reproduction is quite common.Eucaryots are the ones that group together. For reproduction and duplication it is required for an interaction of two different kinds of units even within a single cell at the chemical level and is in biology known as gender.
Could someone please define sex. I was at first under the impression that the one with the least inhibitions had sex first. Then it went on to talk about plant reproduction.
Eukaryota are not necessarily multicellular. Protista form a good example.
Again, you are mistaken. Bacteria do not interact with one another (or with "two different kinds of units at the chemical level") when they reproduce asexually.
It is simple cell division, not accompanied by meiosis or by the formation and fusion of haploid cells.
Bacteria do not have a gender.
It's when you do that kissing stuff than take off your clothes and the man puts his penis in a woman's vagina.
That is having sex.
Making love is a different definition.
I was supprised, the girl wanted to first. She had never done it before and couldn't wait to try. Wow. Married her.
sex
n.
the sum of the structural, functional, and behavioral characteristics of organisms that are involved in reproduction marked by the union of gametes
gamete
n.
a mature male or female germ cell usually possessing a haploid chromosome set and capable of initiating formation of a new diploid individual by fusion with a gamete of the opposite gender
reproduction
n.
the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring and which fundamentally consists of the segregation of a portion of the parental body and its subsequent growth and differentiation into a new individual
Thus, ...
sexual reproduction
n.
the process by which organisms give rise to offspring from the union of two haploid chromosome sets, one from each gender, and result in a new/unique* and complete chromosome set and, thus, a unique offspring <examples abundantly surround (and include) us, almost all organisms reproduce sexually>
*for all practical purposes
asexual reproduction
n.
the process by which organisms give rise to offspring without the union of individuals or gametes, and for all practical purposes, result in clones <examples include: yeast by budding, vegetation by various methods, and some invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians by parthenogenesis>
BTW, bacterial conjugation results in new and complete chromosome sets, but not in any new individuals, thus, it is somewhat sexual (although not exactly the union of two haploid chromosome sets) but not reproduction.
Nice information. Ok , now back to the original question, who was the first to have sex. First of all the word "first" presents a problem. There was no first person. It has always required at least two people. Adam and Eve and so on. So the answer to the question of who was first is the first people that were there.
A better question might be the first position ,as there were no dogs or missionaries yet.
Moved from biology for lack of science content.
The first, are always, the "Wealthy".
First to have sex was probably something like this...stunningly beautiful sexual reproduction between two protista (our distant relatives),Tetrahymena thermophila, who only self-determine their gender when they get into the act.![]()
