Does s*x drive takes precedence of other emotions? Is s*x drive the greatest drives in the world?

Question

Just want to hear your thoughts on this. Have a wonderful day!

Answer 1

Our will to survive is the strongest drive, then maybe comes the s*x drive. The need to know we have others around us of the same species must be somewhere up there too - imagine being the only person left in the world!

You have reminded me, I need to ask another question related to this!

Answer 2

Yeah, probably.  As much as we'd like to admit to 'civilisation' and 'higher ideals' we're still, to a great extent, victims of our genetic heritage. So when push comes to shove, this is what we're usually driven by.

It almost certainly drowns out other 'emotions' ... but I'd also hope that the rational mind can find a better course of action. That's the voice that stops you from getting drunk, before you lose the common sense which normally prevents you from doing the dumb thing.

Answer 3

Not everyone is controlled by it.  I ain't procreating. forget it.

Answer 4

yep

i did my politics dissertation of the influence of s*x on politics!

Answer 5

It takes precedence in those who give it precedence. It is the greatest drive in those whom money has not overcome, and in those who have a full stomach.

Answer 6

I think the entire history of human civilisation is a long journey to deny and sublimate the s*x drive - so you have the mythology of romantic love, art, poetry, music, religion - everything. All great art deep, deep down has sexual desire as its inspiration. Admit it people!

Answer 7

i have no idea, but i sure hope not. if it is, we're screwed.

Oh, wait....

just kidding. (mostly.)

Answer 8

On matters of copulation, I am at this moment reading the Marquis of Sade’s descent into debauchery. It is a wonderful account of man obsessed with carnal desire s and the taking to an unprecedented extreme the pursuit of such pleasure.

Although at the early part of the book, I have gained so far that he is bored, finds illicitness stirring and stimulating, and the greater the depth he declines to the greater the urgency to find new precariously dangerous and forbidden pleasures to indulge and feed his addiction to the nature of clandestine behaviour.

Post this period having explored all avenues and paths of the most lewd, unimaginably perverse he is to draw the conclusion that excitement, arousal, passions and pleasure is created, controlled and mastered by one’s own mind and capacity for imagination and choice of what one chooses to find pleasurable or in what manner one elicits ones bliss and intoxication from. Still reading...

Answer 9

If you have brain damage. s*x is not an emotion, it is a clue as to what to do. Fear is the strongest emotion and anger the next strongest and if you put the two together you get hate. As a formative emotion of the two substantive emotions, it is the strongest of its kind. The sexual need is like the hunger need, we are hungry and then we are satisfied until we are hungry again. Emotion is not complicated in s*x, s*x is complicated in emotion. Simple sexual satisfaction needs no mind for it, only the mechanisms action, o****m, and that may happen in complete unconsciousness.

Answer 10

The greatest drive in the world is an open race track and a Porsche 911 Turbo 4 wheel drive.

Answer 11

Yeah i would agree, its amazing that we cant think clearly when our emotions are high sexually, makes us do crazy things, xx

Answer 12

There are many people who have no s*x drive while having other emotions.

Therefore, I would say it depends upon the person.

Answer 13

I hate the fact that we are being controlled by such and ending up "revealing" our animalistic behaviour.  

Its biological, and its in our instinct. All animals procreate, humans are no different. Sexual urges are necessary for species' survival.

Because our "objective" purpose is procreating, just like any other animals, i have to say that s*x drives are more powerful compared to other emotions.

Answer 14

It's a good point, because people when in the grip of pure lust seem to think about little else and will sacrifice many otherwise cherished things (family, friends, money etc.) in order to be sated.

The s*x drive leads us to seek others out and to procreate, so it is definitely up there with the Aston Martin DB9 as one of the greatest drives in the world! *sorry bad joke* lol

Answer 15

It's why we're all here.

Answer 16

Actually surviving is the biggest drive, but reproduction is second. A lot, if not all, emotions are tied in some way to these drives. One might become anxious about money or feel lonely because the basic human needs to live or reproduce can be jeopardized by being broke and alone.

s*x drive is more or less physical. If a persons harmones and organs are not well it dies down. But the others mentioned are more prevalent with mental or psychological. It does not die even if the body is in bedridden condition.

A nurse working in hospital taking care of old people. Washing their bodies,Taking the urinals and stools gets disgusted by the body. But the same nurse can still feel jealousy, pride,and other psychological drives.

s*x is sweet as long as one does not know about the packaging technology decitfulness.

Answer 19

Mercifully NO!  

I hate to think what would be the scenario if it were so!  

Human WILL is the greatest.  It can overcome every other emotions.

Answer 20

Yes. The s*x drive is a biological function, or imperative.  All species are controlled by it, not just humans.

It does not require a conscious thought, so you can't really consider it an emotion. Although emotions do get wrapped up in it, especially with people, they do not control the s*x drive, or necessarily influence it.

Answer 21

Sexual intercoarse is the unification of two polar opposites.  In the presence of true love sexual intercoarse can be an exhilarating experience.  It is the mixing of two people's energies.  The physical, spiritual and mental bodies must combine perfectly for the experience to be blissful.  It is an aspect of a loving relationship, so yes I think s*x drive is one of  the biggest drives there is.  Of course love itself is a great drive.  

s*x is an act that unites the love of two people.  Some people underestimate its importance.  Unconditional love is very important too.

Answer 22

The s*x drive isn't an emotion as such, it's a physical drive accompanied by emotion. Check out Maslow's hierarchy of need.

Answer 23

No!

Search for and realisation of self satisfaction is the greatest motivational drive.

You don´t need a s*x drive to become healthy in every possible way - drive No. 1

or you don´t need a s*x drive to become financially secure and independent - drive No. 2.

These two are the greatest human needs.

Answer 24

According to the teachings of Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada who is a bonafide spiritual master and pure saint. This whole world is running on s*x desire. That is the basis of this world. The reason for one reincarnating again and again is simply this attachment to s*x desire. Life after life one continues this attachment and again they come back to fulfill this desire. But it is all a big illusion. In fact s*x pleasure is only a reflexion of the mind which then triggers a bodily feeling. One can learn to curb this s*x desire and become free from material suffering. An intelligent person can understand that s*x pleasure is all an illusion. it is based on sense perception. If one learns the art of transcending s*x desire, and dovetailing that energy in the Loving service of the Lord, their human life can become perfect and they can at the end of life return to the eternal kingdom of God. But if one has any attachment to this bodily conception of life, they are certain to take another material body in their next life to fulfill their material desires. One must become free from this bondage of s*x desire and the only way to perfectly curb that is to engage the senses in the loving devotional service of the Lord incessantly.  One can learn this all in the Bhagavad Gita as it is, Translated by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada

Krishna says in the Gita- "It is Lust alone Arjuna, the all devouring sinful activity."

Real Peace to you!

Answer 25

at certain stage of life toys was the first kind for children then young adult until middle ages some people can't drive without driver licenses or money because I heard people say no money no honey.thanks you too have a wonderful day for wondering what kind of questions to ask. remember me I'm 4^[]^4

Answer 26

There is no answer to this except to say that it depends on the individual.  Some people are very sexually driven while others have an almost non-existent libido and the sexual aspects of life pass them by.  What the world has to offer us is variety and it is all the better for it if we are happy to accept that we are all different and enjoy the rich tapestry of life.
