sex on the wrong brain theory suggests because of our divided brain it makes a difference which handd we learn sex with and the greed and authoritarianism is a heritable masturbation problem

SOWB
Sex on the wrong brain, or sowb, is what happens when impatient satisfaction-demanding sex energy fuels brain functions that require patience and objectivity.
Sowb is caused by masturbation with the right hand, which is connected to the left brain hemisphere. Motion of the right hand is controlled by and can stimulate activity in the left hemisphere. By default, most humans in modern developed societies have their first sexual experiences with the wrong hand. Continued sex with the right hand can program long lasting neural pathways that may continue to divert sex energy to the left brain long after real sex.
Sowb (as in robe) stimulates neural circuitry that increases greed and fear (see Certainty Deficit Disorder), rewards conformity, and inhibits creativity. It has been normalized in most modern human societies and is often wrongly referred to as human nature.
Although susceptibility to particular sowb symptoms may be inherited, the most important factor increasing individual levels of sowb may be left brain dominance and lack of right brain use.
SOWB VS Democracy
Democratic forms of organization can counter authoritarianism and other negative symptoms of sowb but are often thwarted before large scale implementation of the simple sex education lesson that can end large scale sex on the wrong brain.
Sex on the wrong brain offered survival benefits in times of scarcity and conflict and may explain right handed dominance in humans. Now, however, it threatens the planet with greed and authoritarianism.
COMMON SYMPTOMS
Certainty Deficit Disorder (CDD)
Impatient satisfaction-demanding reproductive impulses create a need for certainty that can supersede fact or reality. Certainty ends thinking and brings satisfaction through closure, finality, and premature conclusion. The irrational need for non-existent certainty requires avoidance of natural ever-present uncertainty which increases anxiety and fear and motivates a wide range of short and long-term coping strategies, such as denial and authoritarianism (see CDD table below).
Humans may cultivate thought patterns that reward lying and denial in order to create certainty and reduce uncertainty. Rationalization of certainty and denial of reality requires engaging the right hemisphere which releases trapped 'sex energy' as a reward. Certainty can become more important than truth.
Researchers studying 50 years of psychological profiles of conservatives identified 'avoidance of uncertainty' as a defining motivation ( Political Conservatism As Motivated Social Cognition, Jost, J.T., et al, 2003, May, American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin). Authoritarianism is sometimes measured with the Uncertainty Avoidance Index, or UAI.
Greed, objectification, materialism, and 'free market' capitalism
Definitions of "greed" commonly begin with desire for.....
With sowb, potent energy thats meant to fuel love and desire for a mate can interfere with brain functions involved in counting, quantifying, measuring, classifying, comparing, and putting things in order. That can cause obsession for objects and greed for more, bigger, and faster. Satisfaction, pleasure, and beauty may be measured in numbers, dollars, and inches.
Unregulated free market capitalism is a sowb-based strategy for reducing uncertainty while satisfying greed. Complicated social and environmental issues can be ignored or simplified with absolutes and numbers and 'market demand' can be used to replace democratically determined regulation with monopolistic greed and authoritarianism.
EVOLUTION, RIGHT HANDEDNESS, AND THE SOWB GENE
Anthropologists believe early human ancestors started out about 50-50 right and left handed, like the chimps and apes of today, but have had little success explaining why humans became increasingly right handed. Eventually about 100,000 years ago humans settled into about 90% right handed.
Right handed dominance is sometimes attributed to tool-making and language development but sex on the wrong brain has been part of human evolution for millions of years before those developments might have become relevant and may offer anthropologists and handedness researchers a better explanation.
Millions of years ago:
Life was short and reproduction began early. Low levels of masturbation and sowb generally.
Selection for sowb and right handedness would accelerate in areas where population densities and fluctuations in resources might cause conflict and favor authoritarian patriarchy over communal cooperation.
Sowb would begin to distort basic hemispheric brain asymmetries as brain complexity and language use increased. Left hemispheric participation increases as right hemispheric participation decreases, limiting patience and objectivity in evaluation and conclusion. Integration and promotion of preferred sowb symptoms begins to influence social structure as well as brain structure and function.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago:
Longer life, higher population densities, and more conflict over resources. Sowb symptoms like greed, fear, intolerance, and authoritarianism increasingly won over curiosity, community, and democratic cooperation. Sowb accelerated as our ancestors progressively began to delay the age of reproduction. Sowb eventually becomes human nature and normalized as left handed humans were increasingly ostracized and the proportion of right handed handed humans reaches a 90% dominance about 100,000 years ago.
The last few thousand years:
Longer life, more right handed masturbation and more sowb. Sex on the wrong brain became an increasingly dominant part of the long-lasting authoritarian civilizations which, by default and/or design, created social structures to enforce sexual repression and increase frustration. Populations and cultures could select for particular sowb symptoms that were advantageous for a particular situation or environment, such as for building armies.
So-called civilized Old World populations with centuries of sexual repression and frustration might be expected to have more sowb symptoms than New World populations and their descendants today. Are differences in cultural attitudes toward nature, uncertainty, and greed apparent in brain function or structure consistent with more vs less sex on the wrong brain?
The last hundred years:
While democratic forms of social organization help growing populations reduce and regulate sowb symptoms like authoritarianism and greed, increased affluence allows more privacy and opportunity for masturbation. The problem is exacerbated by access to mass produced sources of sexual stimulation, such as pornograpy, and use of sexual stimulation for commercial purposes.
Sowb genes?
Geographical, environmental, and cultural preferences for particular sowb symptoms may manifest as inherited characteristics in brain structure and function.
FEMALES HAVE LESS SOWB
Along with differences in sexual organs there are mechanical differences in hand, finger, and arm motion motion and technique for masturbation. Those differences will effect the degree of connection between the hand and brain, brain components involved, neural associations, and degree of activity. Use of a vibrator could reinforce and complicate hand-brain connections.
Females would also be more likely to involve both hands or try the non-dominant left hand.
Such differences might help explain evolution of gender differences in brain function and organization, as well as the timing of laterality in brain development observed in humans passing through adolescence and into adulthood.
Misogyny, patriarchy
Lower sowb levels in females may be perceived as threatening sources of uncertainty that need to be controled. Long term general differences in sowb levels between genders has resulted in institutionalized misogyny and patriarchy.

Right? I was going to bring that up, but just couldn't deal, so I'm glad you did.
