No, sexual arousal is definitely an act of will. it is not autonomic.

That’s nice. Regardless, the evidence is clear that arousal can be trained.

What separates humans from animals is the ability to control these urges. You don’t (I hope) urinate whenever and wherever you get the urge, or expect to complete a sexual act whenever and wherever you experience arousal.

‘If it feels good, do it’ is bad enough in that it is selfish and is used to justify immorality, but what is going on now is much worse.

Now it is ‘If it feels good, I must do it immediately and with no limitations and if you don’t applaud my lack of control and approve of all of my behavior you are discriminatory and ‘inhumane’.

Kind of ironical, don’t you think?
