Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Freud, the object of the sexual instinct is the person or thing that is capable of bringing about sexual pleasure. This object can vary and is not necessarily limited to a particular body part or location. Freud believed that sexuality was a fundamental aspect of human life and that it was present from birth, developing and evolving throughout a person's life. The sexual instinct, therefore, seeks to find an object that can satisfy this innate desire for pleasure.
