Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse is the second album by Skinny Puppy, released in September 1986.

The cover photo, taken by Steven R. Gilmore, was from a pornographic film that happened to come on the TV in a hotel in New York City. The cover caused Tipper Gore to place it on one of her lists for the Parents Music Resource Center as an example of why there should be parental advisory stickers on albums.
Track listing
All tracks written by Ogre/Key.
"Dig It" is replaced by its 12" version on the CD; it lasts 7:24. On vinyl, "Burnt with Water" ended with a locked groove repeating the phrase "Amen, Lord, hear my prayer" endlessly until the needle was lifted.
Several of the CD-only bonus tracks were mislabelled, either as "(Dub)" or with no version mentioned.
