Nietzsche was a better intuitive psychologist than Freud; but both hid their debt to Darwin, and neither of them understood human sexuality.https://twitter.com/EPoe187/status/1076884620900216833 …
Simplest possible take: Nietzsche thought sex was all about power rather than reproduction; Freud thought sex was all about childhood trauma rather than reproduction. Darwin thought sex was about reproduction.

Freud thought children had a natural erotic drive that developed through stages and focused on the opposite sex parent. And the amount of repression and channeling/sublimation of that energy defined a person more or less. Not really trauma per se...

Nietzsche thought EVERYTHING was about power, AFAIK, including reproduction.

I think that for Nietzsche the idea of "survival" as the primary impetus for human behavior is too mundane. Will to power is not domination but elevation, like the drive of an artist to create a work of eternal beauty. Surviving is something a parasitic worm can do.

Is sex really all about reproduction (I mean in these days especially)? Survival of the species (sex for reproduction vs fun) is obviously the unconscious driver of sexual attraction, but it's not the language of love that shows itself to the individual.

So all three are wrong. So much for scientists.
