Whenever I come across a woman, sex thought-imaginations begin at once to intrude mechanically. These things are seen coming from the front part of the sex centre. There are sometimes physical sex sensations too. However, all these reactions are in thought formations – there is never any impulse or conscious desire for the sex enjoyment in any part of the being – vital or physical.

It is therefore only the body and the most material part of the mind that are still affected.
