I think it is implied though, partially through Ash's dialogue "Kane's Son." and through, H.R Giger's art and design, and through Alien Covenant if you take that into account.
That a twisted reflected semblance of humanity exists within it, and so recognition of what it is doing, if not also pleasure.
But I argue that it does seek it, considering the behaviour of the Facehugger when you take the Prequels into account, revealing it is not required to stay on the host for as long as we thought to achieve it's goal it simply does for reasons unknown.
