The provocative theory presented in the science fiction comedy novel "Sex On the Wrong Brain" and website of the same name suggests control of women and anti abortion extremism are part of the sexual repression used for centuries to increase frustration and masturbation needed to fuel the irrational need for certainty that drives authoritarianism.

WASHINGTON - Oct. 30, 2024 - PRLog -- "When health agencies around the world suggested masturbation as a safe sex alternative during COVID they should have specified which hand to use," says Ard Falten, author of "Sex On the Wrong Brain".

"COVID-19 was a mass sex on the wrong brain event. Social distancing and lock-downs did what authoritarians always do," says Falten. "Whether it's Florida, Idaho, Texas, or Russia, the Roman or British empires, Nazi Germany, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, or the Taliban, the ultimate reason to repress sex and control women and reproductive rights is to increase frustration in the right handed boys and men that authoritarian leaders need to serve them."

According to the theory learning sex with the right hand, which is connected to the left brain hemisphere, burns in long lasting neural patterns that associate impatient satisfaction-demanding reproductive urges with left brain-dominant thinking that is supposed to be patient and objective.

Increased need for certainty: According to the theory reproductive energy pressures mental processes such as logic and problem solving toward quick easy answers, premature conclusion, and the closure of certainty. The website points out authoritarianism is measured with the Uncertainty Avoidance Index and introduces the Certainty Deficit Disorder, or CDD, to place authoritarianism in a wide spectrum of destructive and anti democratic behavior caused by sex on the wrong brain, or SOWB.

To reach a wider audience the book "Sex On the Wrong Brain" weaves the theory and implications into a science fiction adventure comedy set in a dysfunctional future threatened by global warming.

Authoritarianism is explained in terms of a certainty uncertainty dynamic:

• The need for certainty reduces imagination, curiosity, and creativity and increases the stress and fear generated by sources of uncertainty such as change, diversity, unpredictability, disorder, complexity, and nature.
• Authoritarian leaders and ideologies promise to create certainty and reduce uncertainty with order and control. They simplify the world to help their followers judge it with the simple certainty of binary absolutes like good and evil, black and white, us and them, fueling intolerance, bigotry, and extremism.
• Authoritarian leaders must appear certain, decisive, never wrong, and never apologize. Chaos and fear increase the value of their royal certitude and help steer followers toward preferred choices.
• Associating sex with punishment and guilt helps redirect reproductive pleasure to reward the rationalization of lies, denial of reality, and hypocrisy needed to ignore facts and truth and accept certainty.
• People with high levels of SOWB are easily attracted to choices presented with certitude over ambiguity, regardless of facts.

• Factors effecting SOWB levels include handedness, gender, ancestry, age, frustration, and left brain dominance.
• SOWB is why humans ancestors evolved from 50% to 90% right handed.
• SOWB levels were low for 99% of human evolution but exploded in recent centuries as civilizations increased sexual repression.
• Levels are generally higher in males, partly for anatomical reasons.
• Levels may be lower in descendants from populations with shorter histories of sexual repression.
• People with high SOWB levels may perceive those with lower levels as inferior or threatening, contributing to misogyny and bigotry.
• People with low SOWB levels may adopt dominant SOWB based thought patterns to fit in.
• People with high levels of SOWB are easily attracted to choices presented with simple certainty over ambiguity and complexity, regardless of facts.
