Though Freud's claims on sexuality being our only drive for existence and our actions are somewhat startling, I think he was onto something. During his lifetime, the idea of evolution and species progression were not as popular, because not as much was known about them. As much as the media glamorizes and alters the original conceptions of sex, its primary, and most straightforward, purpose is to serve as a means to reproduce, and pass on genes from one generation to the next. It would make sense from a biological perspective that sex is a strong motivation and a large part of our subconscious mind. Our culture doesn't even remotely try to disguise the human desire for sex, as we often see it in magazines, on television, in movies, in music etc. So, even though Freud's seem very "out there," I belief there is some scientific bases to his ideas, or at least some of them. Though every dream we have may not be related to sexual desires, sexuality is undeniably a significant part of the human experience for many.
What do you think of Freud's views on pansexuality?
