Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2014-04-17 16:57:37 UTC
From description it is not clear, what the program does, or what it is good for:

Description:         Spouts silly mad-lib-style porn-like text

And even the README in tar.gz does not explain more:
==
This is the program "sex," a long-time orphaned program on the net.
The original author is unknown and wasn't in the comments in the code.

I've cleaned up a few things, written a manpage, reworked word wrapping, 
and Mikhail Teterin has been kind enough to rewrite my messy Makefile into
something reasonable.
====

It seems the license is wrong too as the ebuild suggests BSD, but the code tells:

/*sex.c*/
/* Original author unknown.  Presumably this is public domain by now.

Reproducible: Always

The text is perfectly clear. Either you know what it means or you find out what it means when you run the program (repeatedly, perhaps, if that's your thing).

could be a gender simulator
