I...was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me anything about sex.
I know maybe only two things about it, and one of those things doesn't really help me understand it at all.
So anything would be very nice...I'm sorry if this is a little awkward, but this is the best way I can think of to learn, since books seem confusing.

He'll be graphic, but... in a medicalized way, so if the word "penis" squicks you...]
Why, certainly. Sex education is very important.
Can you please tell me what you already know? That is the most efficient way to further one's learning.

And well, thankfully in her case, she will not be looking for any information that involves males.]
Sure.
That for boys and girls it's used for making babies, and that you should only do it with someone you love. That's the most I've been told.

I am sad to say that somebody has vastly oversimplified the process. Though it is true that in most sexually-reproducing species - including humans, and other hominids - that sex is evolutionarily-intended for the purpose of producing children, that is not its only purpose. It can be used as a physical expression of desire or love for another person, or simply because many people find it physically enjoyable.
Additionally, sex can occur between individuals of the same gender and sex, so it is not limited to only opposite-sex-and-gender couplings. [Wouldn't be surprised if he's confusing Kohaku by this point.]

What about for someone who has no gender?

[A pause.] Or do you perhaps mean to say that you have no sex organs? It is a common misconception that sex and gender are the same thing, and seeing as someone has already woefully uneducated you, this may very well be the same case.
Either way, I would say that sex is still physically capable for you. But just because it is something you can do does not mean in any way that you are obligated to. Sex is something that is a very personal decision to make. After all, it is a matter of your bodily integrity.

[Not even going to ask about that part though. That would just confuse her.]
I am aware of that though, but...how do you know how to make that kind of decision?
Reply
... To be completely honest, I am not sure what to tell you. It is such an individual decision... Similar people can come to entirely different conclusions on the topic. Readiness is something that you judge based on your knowledge of your body and mind, your partners' bodies and minds, and whether the environment is acceptable to you.
If I may ask... what motivated this question? Has a partner expressed interest in being sexual with you? [He won't pry as to whom, just asking in general.] Or is it simply out of curiosity?
Reply
A bit of both actually. She told me it would be good for me to learn about it now...and I've been a little curious for a while.

I am pleased to hear that your partner wishes for you to be educated. That is a very reassuring statement. Is your partner educated herself? If she is not, I would be more than happy to assist both of you. It is always healthy to be aware of one's choices, especially in the realm of sexuality, where healthiness is such a priority.

She is much more than I am. The only reason I'm not only asking her all of this is because she said she wasn't good at explaining this sort of thing.

Hopefully I have been of some assistance to you, then. If I can do anything further to aid you or your partner, please feel free to ask.

It would depend on what specific sort you were referring to. But I can give a general overview.
The usual reproductive method of sex - intercourse - is where one partner, presumably male-bodied, penetrates a presumably female-bodied partner's genitals. Though this is a major oversimplification of the process... And of course, it is not always the same.
Most sex in general - reproductive and non-reproductive alike - involves some stimulation of each partner's genitals by whatever method preferred by all parties. [He's saying all this with a completely straight face.]
Any further specifications would be breaking down sexual activity into rough categories.

...Now that sounds like something I should talk to her about.
Reply
Well, she would certainly know her body better than I would, at any rate. [Not that he doesn't know about female-bodied people's anatomy, but he isn't going to be jumping to any conclusions either.]

That's probably true.
