NOT TRUE- That is not in the mind.
If I went to the local pub with you and a beautiful blonde started flirting with you from across the bar, you would become aroused and your hormones would kick in.
If she flirted with you and gave you a big smile they would increase.
And if, just as you were ready to go over and introduce yourself to her, I pointed out that “SHE” has an Adam’s apple, Your hormones would do a 180 degree turn and shut down.
The mind controls hormones in many ways. In addition, hormones act as neurotransmitters in the brain creating a feedback loop.
Yes, certain parts of the brain is in the loop even when cognitive function (mind) is not. I'm almost 70 years old and your lecturing me on a hot woman in a pub? Please.
My point was not all sexual/sensual feelings are controlled by the mind, which is cognitive when awake. A person can be deep asleep or in a lite coma and still the reptile part of the brain that controls certain bodily functions still works. C'mon this is grade school stuff.
