Abstract
There is no doubt that the sexual urge in its intensity is second only to the lust for life. The basic needs, such as hunger and thirst, serve survival. Sex does not. The lack of food causes death, the lack of sex does not. The function of primary drives is survival; the functions of sex do not protect the individual but propagate the species.
