Libido target

As it is easy to understand, the purpose of the libido is to maintain in the adult a constant desire to produce offspring. If the libido is expressed in a blatant form, as is the case with many young people, then we have an individual “continuously chasing the promise of an orgasm,” according to the successful formulation of Saint-Cyr.
It is also obvious that mortido helps the individual to survive, instilling in him the desire to eliminate everything that threatens him. If, however, the individual lives among civilized people, he has to hide these primary aspirations. Since life is so complex that Id's impulses are filtered through the Ego, the immediate manifestations of libido and mortido can only be seen in special cases.
Eid can only desire. It is not able to learn and grow, although at certain periods of life its strength changes, as it occurs during maturation, and its direction changes from time to time, for example, at birth of a child. With the desires of the Id, one of two things can happen: either they are satisfied, partially or fully, or suppressed. If they are satisfied, the relief of tension is felt, as is the case with a person immediately after a normal sexual intercourse, or immediately after self-inflicted wounds during an unsuccessful suicide attempt. If the ID desires are suppressed, then the tension increases, which leads to further attempts to remove it.
Since the primary desire for creation and destruction remains basically unchanged, the growth or change of the human personality consists in changing the ways of relieving these tensions.
An id can be expressed only in a form corresponding to the state of the body and its environment. In a newborn many functions are not yet developed. The id of a sucking infant cannot be expressed in any way that requires walking, because its nerves and organs necessary for walking are not yet sufficiently developed. The baby is deprived of a number of pleasures, because it can not control his body until the nerves, leading to various organs and muscles, mature. He enjoys, however, all that he can. The most important movements with which he is endowed from birth are sucking and making sounds. Any satisfaction with libido and mortido must, therefore, be achieved through these mechanisms, with some assistance from other less developed ones. Eid instincts are usually better satisfied with the participation of another person; indeed, it may be noted that the infant enjoys the most pleasure from sucking the breast.
