I think the real question is whether it is voluntarily or involuntarily. Of course our brain controls pretty much everything about us.

You used "mind" earlier, which is an inartful choice of words if you meant "brain," because "mind" is generally viewed as the cognitive or conscious part of our brain.

I don't think anyone disputes that the brain controls our sexual responses. The dispute is whether it is the part of the brain that we can control.

So our "brain" doesn't shape our "mind"?

Yes. But does our "mind" control our "brain"?

If you read several of my other posts in this thread, I clearly said that there are many instances where it doesn't.

Thanks, but I don't have the time today. The only reason I posted in this thread is because you brought up my name. Carry on.
