A female shark has a fin that is not as pointy....also it curves at the top...A males fin in straight and pointy.

The male shark will have two "cigar-like" cylindrical projections near the anal fins/anus. The female will not have these projections. These are not intermittent organs and are clearly visible. These projections are also visible in rays and chimaera. Shark dorsal fins are extremely variable and should not be the basis for sexual determination.

Yes, sharks do mate in order to reproduce. Mating behavior varies among different shark species, but it typically involves the male shark inserting claspers (modified pelvic fins) into the female shark's cloaca. After mating, the female shark may carry the fertilized eggs internally or lay them in egg cases, depending on the species.
