About Sexual desire - I

   I want to write important outlines on the topic of sexual desire, or as some psychologists determine it – libido. I`ll ask some basic questions – is the sexual desire in humans the same libido, drive, as in animal world? What is the difference between them and what are specific treats of human sexual desire? What are the levels of control and how this control can be implemented in reality? What is the social view on this issue?

   I ll start my short observations with the last question – the social paradigm on sexual desire, and what is sexual desire first of all? Under this term (or so called libido) humans define from one side the natural sexual attraction to another individual (from opposite or the same sex), and in another side the need for increasing generations. The first one is conscious, the second is sub-conscious, or appears in hidden way. While no one doubt about the psychological and physiological sides of sexual desire in the case of attraction, pull to another individual, we didn’t view the phenomena of the last claim – about sustaining next generations in general. Sexual desire is presented in all aspects as very close or totally equal to the animals sexual instincts for survival. Is that truth?

   Social mind of masses accept sexual drive as “libido” having nature of instinct for survival, and this is very logical point. We observe animals and see their behavior, instincts and libido. As animals have soul of oneness of the primitive group, their instincts are in very high priority levels. That means they follow exactly what their primitive oneness of group consciousness keeps inside. In this way the most important instincts in them are with labels of emergency – feeling of hunger, thirst, pain, loss of baby, desire for mating. How humans relate to animals instincts? Strangely society determines the libido in humans as “sexual desire”, and not for animals. The word desire may sound little sophisticated, but in this case it can be easily substituted by “instinct” or drive. This word makes equation between the human and animals feeling of urgent need that should be satisfied, in order the group to survive. If there is logic and truth about this theory, it is too little and not enough.

Why? We need to think on what makes human beings unique among the living beings and what are his special treats, that are missing in animal groups. Then we ll find out, that the nervous system, emotions, Mind connections, and links in all feelings of body are much more complicated in human nature. Humans have mind and consciousness of higher level, so his all world, feelings and ability to think on the real world, would be in totally different level than animals. Animals in any group have the basic feelings, entangled together with primitive instincts, because they only will ensure the survival of its kind. Animals cant solve a problem on their survival, except in very simple way. Further, most animals (with some exceptions in special kinds), don’t have feeling of love inside complicated psychological pattern, which is the case with humans. Of course they can feel attachment, strong bound and “love” to their family and partners. That’s how it was very easy for people to make sign of equality between sexual instincts in animals and humans.

The primitive basis of sexual drive (desire) in human nature are truth only for humans in lower levels of mind. It`s spread in human society and accepted without doubt, that humans are part of the “animal groups”, because they have the same instructs for survival –hunger, thirst, sexual drive, care for generation. This statement would be true, if humans didn’t have divine Soul that is eternal and living after physical death. This would be true, if they didn’t have higher mind, connection with past lives, higher self, and records in aura. Divine eternal soul and need for expansion of Mind is one of the basic difference between animals and human.

Here I come to another point, connected with this difference and higher mind. Humans established civilizations, achieved many scientific researches and discoveries, devote to art, music and activities, that are implemented in their Soul. Animals have feelings, attachments, instincts on the first primitive levels, they are not expected to have spiritual missions, but only to survive and spread as kind. Human beings are expected much more than “survival”. That’s how they also have codes of instincts like hunger, thirst, sexual desire, need for sleep. But in their nature these codes are under rules from higher psychological and emotional codes, which come from inner values and principles, spiritual ideas. In other words, what is the basic difference between the lower level mind (animals) and humans is the acquiring of Knowledge, ability to use it in life, and ability of constant self improvement.

The main point why that libido” or sexual drive is not the same shaped “instinct for survival” lies in word “self control”, social values, rules. All of that factors, which make human society part of “civilization” and not part of “primitive herd” (or tribes), are exactly the feeling of belonging to divine energy of Cosmos, believes, and creating Taboo. Even tribes of people spread in some places on earth, have special believes of cosmic forces (expressed in their mythology) and always have Taboos (values and rules of behavior inside the group). These taboos are not valid for most animals (even some specialists could argue, because even with them we see natural lows and borders).
