Desire can be dissected into three parts: sexual drive, sexual wish, and sexual motive. Sexual drive is an impulse for sexual release. It can manifest itself as a longing to reproduce or to have sex, erotic thoughts or dreams, or an urge to masturbate. Sexual wish is the willingness to have sex. Even if an individual's physiological need for sex is weak, he or she may wish to participate in the activity to feel more connected to another person, to feel more masculine or feminine, or to feel more physically energetic. Sexual motive is the combination of factors that impel a person to want sex.
