Libidinal energy, in psychoanalytic theory, libido refers to the psychic energy that drives all instincts and motivations. Sexual desire is a prominent part of the libido, it is not the only aspect. Freud initially defined libido as a specific sexual drive. Later, he expanded it to include a broad concept of life instincts. In people with BPD, often, there is also an unhealthy connection between a hypersexual focus and self-referential - false self drives to survive.
