sextet - nothing to do with sex. Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day, the possibilities for sex without two partners notwithstanding.
This reminded me of a writing technique, used by several well-published writers, where the author created the plot of a book by configuring a plot around several randomly chosen words. The magic, they often said, was in the subconscious. A much more interesting story could be had if you start with such an odd (or random) framework.
We could look at sextet and think of a hundred fascinating etymological ways it could relate to sex.
