Default banana stalk issue

Two of my bananas flowered and produced several hands in April this year....almost unheard of in this 8b/9a area. However, after producing about six hands, the stalk continued to flower and drop leaves, but no new bananas appeared, and the ones on the stalk stopped getting bigger. They have now ripened on the stalk and turned black. Someone told me this was because they were male plants. Didn't know that banana plants were sexed. Can someone explain this phenominom??
