How does human sexual motivation differ from that of lower animals?

What will be an ideal response?


Human sexual motivation is a powerful, unusual incentive for behavior. In lower animals we talk about sexual motivation as a "drive", an innate force that directs animals to engage in reproductive behavior. Human sexual motivation is much more complex than a simple drive to reproduce. It is tied to a variety of issues including the physical desire and subsequent arousal and even emotional needs that push us to be closer to others or to express love to our mate.
