What’s Your Motive?
Why do you seek sex? Motivations generally fall into four main categories.
1. Physical reasons: Pleasure, stress relief, exercise, sexual curiosity, or attraction to a person
2. Goal-based reasons: To make a baby, improve social status (for example, to become popular), or seek revenge
3. Emotional reasons: Love, commitment, or gratitude
4. Insecurity reasons: To boost self-esteem, keep a partner from seeking sex elsewhere, or feeling a sense of duty or pressure (for example, a partner insists on having sex)
