I'm no scientist, but I have a hard time understanding how our "mind" can be independent of our brain. On the other hand, there are things our brain does that are completely independent of our "mind".
Can my "mind" tell my brain to alter pituitary gland output? Can my "mind" stop my breathing while I'm dreaming? Can my "mind" stop auto-immune diseases?
Our brain is perpetually receiving and transmitting information. Some of this information reaches our conscious "mind", at which time we process that information. How that information is processed and coalesces in our "mind" is a very individualized process. Our mind can't stop the reception of the information and it has limited ability to cause or stop the brain from transmitting information.
So what's the problem with saying "sexuality of any type is all in a person's mind"?
