Eros

Reading the Ancient Greeks, I come to understand that Eros and Sex differ from mere Hunger, in that Eros has energy that endures beyond Satiety.
Hunger does not: you eat, you are no longer hungry.

The energy transcends fulfillment to create something else...
... and that something else may be benign or malign, depending on the Education and Morality of a society.

Perhaps this is what so many of us are trying to say today in our conceptually and language impoverished ways.
