Poll and Sexuality

I've posted a new poll today, and have added this posting for comments. As I mentioned in the previous post, Inhibitions and Morality, I've found that a lot of people view things as morals that are really inhibitions, including sexuality. I've also found that inhibitions respond well to hypnosis, where morals (like no murder) won't change. However, I want to see what you think! Answer the poll, and use this section to post your comments and thoughts! I am also posting one other thing for further consideration in the comments, because I'd prefer that people answer the poll first.

For those who consider sexuality as a moral issue, how many times have you violated these morals in dreams? Have you been in a committed relationship but dreamed of sex with someone else? If you're straight, did you have homosexual dreams, or vice versa? Did you do a sex act in a dream you wouldn't do in real life? Many people have had at least one dream like this, where not only did they violate one of their limits, but they did not feel the guilt associated with it. Which then asks the question again, is it morality or inhibitions?

For those who missed the poll, the question was "Excluding things that would cause harm to herself or others, do you feel that a subject can be made to do anything sexually, regardless of beliefs, morals, limits, or desires?".

14% said Yes, the subconscious has no inhibitions.

41% said Yes, but some things may take longer.

27% said Mostly, although some core beliefs, like wedding vows, can't be overridden.

16% said No, a subject will stick to her limits, regardless of the hypnotic instructions.
