Libido

Libido can be defined as Freud's term for sexual energy, the driving force of human behaviour. In his later writings he used the term more diffusely to cover all kinds of psychic energy. Generally speaking the term is currently used to denote energy whose origins at least are sexual and which is dynamic and irrational in expression.
