I wonder if anyone ever stopped masturbating because Christine Odonnell asked them to.
Actually, the real purpose of sexual repression is to encourage masturbation. But masturbation is prohibited so no one will talk about which hand to use. This strategy has worked for centuries.
Without wrong handed masturbation Earth's major power structures will collapse.
BUSH: "Keep them frustrated and jacking off. Be certain. That's the secret of power?"
ROVE: "For thousands of years."
Here's why.
As we started getting civilized and population densities increased it became necessary to delay the age of reproduction. People started doing a lot of masturbating.
By default most humans learn sex with the dominant right hand, the sword and hammer hand. Especially males because of the anatomy and motion involved. Unfortunately, the right hand is connected to the left side of the brain, the side for logic and mathematics.
The left hand is connected to right side of the brain. That's generally the creative, emotional, intuitive, orgasmic side of the brain.
Right handed masturbation creates long lasting neural connections that channel sex energy to the numbers side of the brain where it is satisfied in terms of more, bigger, faster. That's Wall Street greed.
The logical side of the brain is supposed to be objective and patient but sexual energy is in a hurry for finality and conclusion. Thinking is unwanted foreplay and certainty is the orgasm.
The need for certainty, or the need to avoid uncertainty, is a dominant trait in conservatives. But since nothing is certain it must be created.
When the gate to the creative side of the brain opens up to do the creating some of the sexual energy escapes to the pleasure centers and that's the pleasure of certitude, of being absolutely certain about something even when you're
completely wrong. Certainty becomes more important than truth.
Power goes to those with quick judgment and easy answers and from being absolutely certain no matter how wrong you are. That's why talk radio has been so effective the last 20 years- it is the only medium where the royal certitude is never challenged in real time. Certainty sells and soothes those addicted to it.
Analyzing the use of fear in politics usually misses the certainty-uncertainty dynamic, in which fear is just the extreme. Forget lizard brains. The need for certainty lowers the threshold at which uncertainty turns into fear but mere uncertainty is also useful for making the royal certitude of the Rush Limbaughs and George Bushes attractive.
At some level do our major religions know what they're doing? Did the Koran spill the beans by saying "Man can only have sex with his wife and that which the right hand possesses." ? One scholarly interpretation is that it refers to slaves and captives. But what about the poor, with no slaves or captives and unable to afford a wife? And what about today, when slaves and captives are no longer acceptable?
When democracy came along it allowed those less affected by the disease to have an equal say and use their creativity and wisdom and logic and intuition. It began to reverse or at least lessen the effects of sex on the wrong brain, the destroyer of civilizations. But we still have a big problem until we get real sex education.
Without the irrational need for certainty nature's uncertainty stimulates curiosity and imagination instead of fear. There will be less need for conformity and order and control to reduce unpredictability. Power to the people.
In other words, our mightiest civilizations were destroyed by jerk offs and we're screwed as long as we keep using the wrong hand.
