Looking at numerous translations of this verse, they seem to be evenly divided between whether the mind is choosing, or the spirit (or flesh) is controlling the mind.

Erasmus used 1 Cor 6 analogizing the man being joined to a harlot as "becoming one flesh"; he connected that with the advice to the young man in Proverbs, to avoid the harlots' enticements, which is the path of Sheol (death). The soul must choose. Faith in the unseen spiritual realm allows the soul to find the path of eternal life.
