This this is the final episode of a 7 part series discussing our basic human needs and how they relate to fulfilling relationships and marriage.

This series will be about “The Need For Sex”

Maslow’s Hierarchy of need biologically and physiologically places sex along with breathing, food and excretion. Sex is an essential need when it comes to procreation. Even Freud saw sex as one of the basic human drives (Id) in that it is crucial to the survival of the species.

As we move along the hierarchy and have each of our needs met we move to the level of sexual intimacy and how this is distinctly different from the basic need for sex. We will discuss some of the controversy around this need for sex. What was Maslow thinking?
