THE ELEMENTS OF THE HUMAN SEX DRIVE


There are apes swinging through the trees and beasts in the jungle whose mating behaviors are better adapted to their environment than are those of the human species. While it can be argued that the adaptations of the animals are the result of eons of evolution, it is correspondingly correct to say that the greatest evolutionary adaptation of the human species is a brain purportedly capable of learning to solve complex problems.

It is time, then, to solve very serious sex-related problems faced by humankind. Perhaps the proper starting point is a realization that humans can control their sexuality because, in them, sex is not an uncontrollable instinctive behavior but, rather, a compulsive behavior composed of manageable elements:

  1. CUDDLING HABIT

  2. ORAL GRATIFICATION

  3. CURIOSITY

  4. GENITAL STIMULATION

  5. PUBERTAL STRESS

  6. SEXUAL ENTICEMENTS

  7. PEER PRESSURE

  8. LONELINESS

  9. HARDWIRING AND ATTRACTION

  10. VARIATIONS

  11. EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCE

  12. PHYSICAL ADDICTION

  13. DENIAL

  14. CONCLUSION
