[[Human]] [[sexuality]] consists of a number of partial [[drive]]s ([[German]]: ''Partieltrieb'') arising from the different [[erogenous zone]]s.
At first these component drives function anarchically and independently (the '[[polymorphous perversity]]' of [[children]]), but in puberty they become organised and fused together under the primacy of the genital organs.<ref>[[Freud, Sigmund]]. 1905d</ref>
==Drive and Instinct==
[[Drive]] is separate from the realm of [[biology]].
The [[drive]] does not refer to "some ultimate given, something archaic, primordial."<ref>{{SllS11}} p. 162</ref>
The [[drive]] is a thoroughly cultural and symbolic construct.
