What's the difference between drive and desire?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30954points) July 22nd, 2010

Specifically sexual drive and sexual desire.

My position is that one is biological, and can be explained through the processes of evolution and genetics. Those who are driven to mate the most win.

The other is a phenomenon of psychology, and is best explained by learned preferences, personal inclinations, and social influences.

Where am I mistaken?
