Thanks! Can anybody direct me to a good pic of a male so I can see the difference?
 
That I can't do. Lol. Maybe try checking through the sexing page to see if you can find a male?
 
Ok, so it seems like there's a slot parallel to the furrow on my female that's absent on the male. Is that what I'm looking for?
 
@Swoop What you'll see on Sam's male that isn't present on yours is a dark, dense, half circle of setae located between the top set of booklungs. That's only present on males, so a lack of that would indicate it's a female.

This website is what helped me figure out the main differences. It took me a few reads to fully grasp the information it provided, but it was what helped me the most, in conjunction with looking through the sexing gallery on here.
