Everything in life is driven by sexual motives?

True or false

Answer:
Probably for some people...but not for me! c09981 said it best! I totally agree.
Sex is fun except when the girls start up with the drama
Everything in life or you can say the World is run by Money and Emotions. Those two dictate everything in life. It's all emotions so the answer is no or false as you asked.
False. There are no sexual motives in how you relate to your children, having a strong work ethic, being a good family member, etc.
false
A strong driver, perhaps. But not exclusively.

And you need to further define the term anyway. Are you talking about the need to reproduce? Or the need to have fun/feel good?

I believe that everything is driven by greed. Everything you do, you do because of self interest. That may be a self interest in having fun, in making money, in avoiding embarrassment, in not getting into trouble, etc. Sex is but one form of self interest.
I'm not a firm believer in Sigmund Freud's theories so no.
False: I do not go to church out of a sexual motive. I do not do volunteer work out of a sexual motive. I do not do my job sitting at a computer all day out of a sexual motive. Of course, any one of those choices could of course bring in someone of the opposite sex that may cause me to be intrigued. However I do all of those things for spiritual fulfillment, to help others, and to get paid so I can have a roof over my head, pay my bills, wear clean clothes, and have food on my table. Sex is not always a primary motivator.
True.

When we screw up something badly, we don't blame it on sexual motives though :)
These days, I'd say true for 60% of the time. However I've dated guys that have fallen in love with me for me and we didn't have sex or anything- makes me know that their motives weren't just that.
wow. i would contextualize that. if everything in life was driven by sexual motives then people who be having sex 24/7. they would forget to eat(1.5 hours), sleep(7 hours), shower .5hours), work 8 hours, transport 2 hours, brush .5 hours, how much hours is left. that leaves 4.5 hours left for 1 self free of anything. if someone has sex well there goes 2 hours to the full 4.5 hours.
False, otherwise what would that say about a guy who loves to eat a hot dog once in awhile.
False. It is true that sex sells. That would make money the #1 driven motive in life.
False, because it's not true for EVERYthing.. I'll say this, it's true for me, because I usually dress with the hopes of impressing the opposite sex. I want to work out to impress women (but it's also for personal health and well-being). I'd like to be handy around the house and with cars, so that I'll impress a woman (but I also just don't like depending on people). I want a nice car, and a good job with a great salary, so women will be impressed (but it's also for another love, travelling, which is not cheap). I want to be educated, so I can sound intelligent, all so I can impress the opposite sex. I'll sit through "chick flicks", open the door, take her to a fancy restuarant, to impress the opposite sex...

...and, I DIDN'T want to answer that way, because I'm afraid it will REPEL the opposite sex! But, seriously, how many women are hoping to date a guy who's not well groomed, jobless, and uneducated? That just brings the point that there are also things I don't want to do, and those are motivated in the hopes of not repelling the opposite sex.

However, it's also false because I love to travel, and that is not for the opposite sex, I have strong views and talk about them, not for the opposite sex. I like playing video games, which is not for the opposite sex. I like hanging out, drinking beers, going bowling/fishing/watching movies/etc. with my friends, which is DEFINETLY not impressing the opposite sex...

I think this can be said to be true... Everything in life is motivated by personal desires. Even if you are a humanitarian, everytime you go to volenteer, it's because it makes YOU happy to help people. If you are religious, you go to church for God, but it's because YOU love God... Everytime you go to your dead end job, it's because you like living in a house. And maybe you like living in a house, because not being homeless also impresses the opposite sex.

The point is, we all do SOME things with sexual motives, but I don't think we do EVERY thing with this intent. And I'm sure we're not only doing things for sexual motives, I'm sure we are also hoping to find love. But whether or not the concept of love is nothing more than a biological sexual motive for human survival is beyond me.. Still, the fact remains, we have other desires in our lives that are not sexual, and our actions are driven by those desires too.
