The sex drive is embodied in Eros, the very natural drive for survival of the species. It is only through social morals that sex drives receive labels of good and bad.

In early development, babies do not have a sense of morals, but they do have physical senses and have primitive sexual drives.

When they touch themselves, they will feel more pleasure when touching erotic zones, and naturally will do this again.

When suckling at the mother’s breast, they may share some sense of sexual arousal with the mother which contributes towards mother-child bonding.

Problems occur when the person fixates on these pleasurable sensations and seeks them to the detriment of others or their own other needs.

Freud himself realized that not everything was about sex and once commented ‘Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar’ (Freud was a frequent cigar smoker).

Libido refers to a person’s sex drive or desire for sexual activity. The desire for sex is an aspect of a person’s sexuality, but varies enormously from one person to another, and it also varies depending on circumstances at a particular time. Sex drive has usually biological, psychological, and social components. Biologically, levels of hormones such as testosterone are believed to affect sex drive; social factors, such as work and family, also have an impact; as do internal psychological factors, like personality and stress. Sex drive may be affected by medical conditions, medications, lifestyle and relationship issues. A person who has extremely frequent or a suddenly increased sex drive may be experiencing hypersexuality, but there is no measure of what is a healthy level for sex.
