I’ve never understood the “my body isn’t my body” anxiety. I’m not suggesting the lascivious behavior ought to be tolerated or disregarded, I merely fail to understand how it effects such a sentiment. One’s body is not one’s own in the same sense as other concepts of ownership (eg, possession of a water bottle), just like “my mind” doesn’t refer to something I possess, but rather to describe it as an aspect of me, of my multifaceted being. My body, my mind, are me. So this expression is confusing to me, the idea that the body could cease to be an aspect of my self. Even if I start from a context of mind body dualism (it still doesn’t become possessive “my”, right?) I struggle to comprehend the idea.
