In reply to Throbert McGee. TMcGee - Agreed, just as we advocated in the recent NYT article, this must be something that is discussed with a spouse or prospective spouse.

Yes, and it is easily observed in prison populations

Isn’t it just as easily observed in life?
Let’s see….., rape, molestation, conditioning etc….

Dr. Throckmorton,
Since the word change, and it’s myriad of meanings is so subjective, is there another way to describe the shift that takes place when one makes a decision that is based on something other than primary and spontaneous desires?

I’m wondering if most people think of someone else or something else while they are having sex. I’m also wondering how many would admit it.

Changing these patterns would involve, in my view, changing the entire connectivity and reactivity potential to emotional stimuli in the amygdala and the relevant outputs (anterior cingulate cortex, insula and the reward-related areas),

Not that I neccesarily agree with this change in the brain but I do strongly believe that changing the physical brain is needed for sexual change to occur.
