When is la (f) and el (m) used or in which contexts - little bit confused?

When is la (f) and el (m) used or in which contexts - little bit confused?
I think it changes from region to region and from native speaker to native speaker. Some people use it as masculine, and others use it as feminine. A few other nouns have the same problem-- el sartén, la sartén. I'm sure others will offer an opinion as well.

[irmamar]

Some words as azúcar or mar (I don't know about sartén, this is a feminin noun for me: la sartén) can be both masculine or feminine, but just in sigular:

El azúcar - la azúcar (in Spain feminime form is only used whe an adjetive follows to the noun: azúcar blanquilla, azúcar moreno / morena)
El mar - la mar.

But in plural they're always masculine:

Los azúcares.
Los mares.

This word would can work too.

Mesa, this is one noun feminine

Escritorio is one noun feminine.

I'm not sure of the am saying but if you have to correcting me please you don't hesitate to do it.

I think "escritorio" is a masculine noun:

Me he comprado un escritorio.
Acabo de barnizar el escritorio.
