"..but don't become attached" Do we have control whether we attach or not? Often I hear above mentioned phrase in regards to sex, music, entertainment and basically everything else that is or seems important.

Now the question is: Do we really have control whether we get attached to something or not? 

Isn't a little attachment good, i.e., attachment to the Dhamma or the five precepts in order to elicit faith and confidence?

Ven. Ananda's &quot;going to the park&quot; simile might be helpful in addressing this topic.
Regarding the question about control, of course there is for without it there'd be no Stream-enterer, Once-returners, Non-returners, nor Arahants.
