Sex Drive is called Libido in its common usage means sexual desire; however, more technical definitions, such as those found in the work of Carl Jung, are more general, referring to libido as the free creative--or psychic--energy an individual has to put toward personal development, or individuation.

Sigmund Freud introduced the term and pointed out that libido is the instinctual energy or force that can conflict with the conventions of civilized behavior. It is the need to conform to society and control the libido, contained in what Freud defined as the Id, that leads to tension and disturbance in both society and the individual. This disturbance Freud labelled neurosis. Thus, libido has to be transformed into socially useful energy, according to Freud, through the process of "sublimation".

Libido can also be classified as the urge to copulate. For humanity, the natural way in which this occurs is through sex. However, at a deep unconscious level, the two can be merged as one, given the reason in evolutionary terms for sexual attraction and sex drive. Using this term, the antonym of libido is destrudo.

Reduction in libido can occur from psychological causes such as loss of intimacy, stress, distraction or depression. It may also derive from the presence of environmental stressors such as prolonged exposure to elevated sound levels or bright light.

Obesity can also reduce a person's libido, as can being underweight or anorexic. Improvement often is seen after an individual attains a more "normal" weight via dieting, exercise, weight-loss surgery (e.g., lap band surgery) and/or medically supervised diet solutions.

Reduced libido is also often iatrogenic and can be caused many medications, such as oral contraceptives, SSRIs, and beta blockers. In some cases iatrogenic impotence or other sexual dysfunction can be permanent, as in PSSD.
