It is the primary driving factor in sexuality period, you can't spin it any other way. The NEED to reproduce drives the DESIRE for sex as a species.

Here, I'll try to explain it to you another way maybe it will be a little more clear.

Your body gets hungry because you need food to survive. Food also tastes good, and can be pleasurable to eat. This all reinforces the NEED to eat, take in sustance. Your body does not get hungry because food tastes good. See the difference?

Sex feels good and is something you desire because that's how our species reproduces. So the _fundamental_ driving force behind sex is always reproduction. Now people have sex because it's fun, just as they eat because they're bored, but that doesn't diminish the fact that the whole process begins with reproduction.

In other words, if humans reproduced by peeing in to a pot of hot water, you most likely wouldn't have any desire for what we know as sex but you would sure be driven to pee in a pot of hot water.
