After all, nature made us this way, and we may pretend to turn it off and act sensible, but it's always there lurking and unstoppable.
I don't think it is a cognitive choice at all no matter how civilized we pretend to be.

Frankly, I disagree. I am capable of controlling my sexual urge, the same as I control my violent or greedy urge.
The fact that we are societal and organised, and the creation of a behavioural system which is
not natural means that men and women (yes, women can be aggressive, in fact this is a leading problem in modern society) must behave.
The menstruation thing is evidence of the key problem with modern western society (esp, english language areas). The theory that a man is nothing more than a walking sexual organ is frankly debasing and idiotic. If I were to refer to women purely as devices for creating children, I would be pilloried.
Human self control is a voluntary response. Why should we not give in to each and every hind-brain driven violence? Because we have transcended that in a conscious manner.
