A sex organ is any of those parts of the body (which are not always bodily organs according to the strict definition) which are involved in sexual reproduction. They constitute the reproductive system in an complex organism.

The term genitalia is generally used to describe the externally visible sex organs.

A gonad is an organ that produces gametes, specifically the testes or ovaries in humans.

The human sex organs are as follows.

Male: penis, testicles, prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis
Female: vulva (notably the clitoris), vagina (notably the cervix), uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries
