Bound implies that instincts can't be acted against. SO, we have instincts that we still act on, but that isn't the only thing we act on, so we are not bound by them.

Some instincts we are bound by for life. Like some reflexes are in are instincts. We try to control them but we can't with out medical pills.

Some instincts can't be fought against, but that doesn't mean we only act on instincts.

To quote an eye-witness:

"As he burned he never moved a muscle, never uttered a sound, his outward composure in sharp contrast to the wailing people around him."

If this isn't a man defying his instincts then people simple don't have instincts.

Depends on the person in a way. We aren't bound by all instincts as some people can fight against them EG. The reflex arc can count as an instinct but some people have managed to fight against it. We all have a survival instinct as well, which initially is the instinct to survive we eat, drink and breathe to survive again some people can fight against this and just let themselves die (which is why I say it depends on the person). Most women also have a mothering instinct which is to protect their children, so if a mother sees or feels that they're child is threatened they want to protect them from it EG. Bullies another example would be a personal example me and my mother where walking through a car park and a car beside me didn't see me and started reversing my mum instantly shoved me out the way to protect me from this car. I do not believe we are bound by all our instincts but we are by some and it can depend on the person.

When you wake up do you decide to survive, no... it's a natural instinct. It's one of the most primitive instinct that is engraved in each of us. The instinct to survive.

Of course people are bound by some instincts such as primal but other instincts like fear (as show by Nebeling) can be conquered.

Humans need to feel safe, loved, have a sense of identity and freedom.

Is it in your instincts to fuck animals or are you choosing to do that?

Can you not control your urge to fuck animals?
