      \textit{E. Beretta} and \textit{V. Capasso} [Proc. Autumn Course Res. Semin., Miramare-Trieste/Italy 1986, 317-342 (1988; Zbl 0684.92015); Comput. Math. Appl., Part A 12, 677-694 (1986; Zbl 0622.92016)] mathematically studied some multigroup SIR models. Epidemic processes among heterogeneous populations can be considerably contributed to asymmetric relationships among them. Such asymmetric relationships correspond to, for example, some social structures or some genetic factors. We consider two sexual groups: one corresponds to male group and another to female. We analyze an SIR model with two sexual groups to consider some qualitative natures of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and also try to discuss some real cases of nonmortal STDs. In our modelling analysis, the sex ratio appears to be one of the complications in the study of such two-sex models. Further, it is interesting that slight differences in the dynamic structure of modelling lead to different results.
