It's been awhile, mudflapgirl72. Always good to hear from you.
That's what i've heard-that the brain is the largest sex organ. But how so? It just gets tricky when trying to determine what is actually mentally derived and what is, you know, hormonally derived.
There are so many individual differences when it comes to arousal....in what ways do you think the brain plays a part?
It's really very complicated, but for starters there's the endochrin and nervous systems. The brain controls those. Ever heard of a paraplegic losing all feeling below the waste? He has the sexual desire, but the impulses are cut off from reaching their destination.
Another example, the frigid housewife. She's too much in her head to let go and enjoy or perhaps her partner is abusive so she's lost all interest in sex.
Ever heard of ED? Erectile dysfunction? Psychological in most cases.
I could go on for days, but I gotta go to work. Heh.
This issue is often related to conditioning, don't you think? I'd say the images and ideas one has grown up around influence him or her the most.
in my case, being taught to inhibit the sexual response caused me to not be as responsive in everyday situations, a case of the brain overriding the body.
What one person finds to be a turn-on can be totally different from another person's turn-on. Do you have any particular sexual turn-ons you feel are your own, derived from your conditioning and not from your basic identity as a female, biologically speaking?
I gave up on this journal actually. An online friend, mais, insisted I post again. From my perspective, though, my journal didn't succeed in the way I had hoped. I enjoyed the experience. and I definitely enjoyed chatting with nice folks like yourself. But I'm still pretty much as inhibited as always. So that's why I haven't been around.
It makes a lot of sense what you're saying about the brain and suggestion. But can you come up with an example or two? Certainly we all know what it feels like to be aroused naturally.
But there are so many variations when it comes to sexual arousal. I agree with you-much of it has to be coming from our minds and from suggestion.
Yes yes yes! I think I've told you about the guy I briefly went out with who looked like a model but was dumb as a doornail? Textbook example. Couldn't talk to me, didn't stay around long.
"who looked like a model but was dumb as a doornail" LOL. That was funny.
And so, I assume, you are saying that you were turned on by him because your brain got you into this mess, not your body? Cause if the boy was drop dead gorgeous, I could make a case for animal instinct, too.
No, I'm saying I wasn't turned on by him hardly at all, because he couldn't talk to me. Same with one of the americn footballers at my school; he's got a fantastic body but I simply do not find him attractive because he's got a horrible personality.
Exactly. Pretty boys are nice for a few days but give me a guy with intelligence any day. He will grab my imagination and seduce me with his words. Women are very much influenced by language. Think of all the great seducers throughout history.

I highly recommend a sexual psychology course.
