Does the sex of main character influence the game?

Does choosing a male or female character influence the gameplay or the story in some way?

There are two perks that are affected by your interaction with the opposite sex:

1. The Allure perk in the Speech tree, which Xenox mentioned, that gives you 10% better prices with members of the opposite sex.
2. Completing The Heart of Dibella will grant you the Agent of Dibella perk, which will give you a 10% melee damage bonus against members of the opposite sex.

Yes, it does. For example, there is a perk (Allure) which decreases the price of items when trading with persons of the other sex.

as i have done two complete run toughs of the game using a bot male in female character in both run through of the game i can conclude that using a female character is easier because of the allure perk which allows discounts when trading with the opposite sex mainly because most shop keepers are female (I hope this answered your question to the fullest of capability have a good day)
