The ego is the structure that seeks to gratify our wishes and needs in ways that are within the rules of society for their appropriate expression. The id, on the other hand, seeks immediate gratification of our primal desires without regard for social rules, while the superego represents the internalization of society's moral standards and seeks to inhibit the id's impulses. Libido refers to the psychic energy associated with the sexual drive.
