Preferred term

sexual motives  

Definition(s)

  • The term sexual motives refers to the underlying reasons for, or purposes served by, sexual behavior. Typically assessed through self-report, motives or reasons represent a person's own understanding of why he or she has sex and thus provide an important window onto the meaning that individuals ascribe to their sexual experiences. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Sexual Motives]
