Maslow was not so shy in his earlier work, in which he painstaking interviewed 130 women and 15 men about their sex lives, including masturbation habits, fantasies, and peccadilloes (Maslow 1939, 1942). He seems to anticipate that sex drive ranks with either safety or self-esteem in his eventual hierarchy of motives when he wrote, “for relatively insecure people sex is a power weapon, that is in myriad ways related to dominance-feeling and dominance status, and indeed may be considered itself as a kind of dominance or subordination behavior or at least as a channel through which domination-subordination may be expressed. In general it has more intimate relationships with dominance feelings than it has with physiological drive” (Maslow 1942).
