"[[Instinct]]" is a [[biological]] concept and belongs to the study of animal ethology.
Whereas animals are driven by [[instincts]], which are relatively regid and invariable, and imply a direct relation to an object, human sexuality is a matter of [[drives]], which are very variable and never attain their object.
==Lacan==Although [[Lacan]] uses the term "[[instinct]]" frequently in his early work, after 1950 he uses the wor dless frequently, preferring instead to reconceptualize the concept of [[instinct]] in terms of [[need]].
