Hello Gentlemen,
I woke up this morning to this in my Inbox. Wow Eric, what a can of worms you’ve opened with that one little substack Article! You provocateur you!
I think that in the threads of these emails, I want to mention just a couple of points, especially since this subject is absolutely fraught with opinion from ‘professionals and researchers’, who clearly have no actual worldly, experiential wisdom about the subject upon which they pontificate.
But sex sells, whether its good or bad, so there’s money in opinion. Further to that though, I have found that the actual reality of some subjects in life, is often 180 degrees from the perceived reality of professional opinion makers. The food pyramid is an example of this, it’s actually completely upside down and wrong, but nevertheless, ‘Expert Opinion’ and agendered lobbyism perpetuates the myth, and most people, most of the time, go along with what is promoted.
Let’s get an example in the sexual field. “What do women want sexually?” All sorts of things will immediately run through your mind, from learned material and from experience. But WHAT exactly, do women want sexually? You can’t ask them , they will modify their answers according to their perception of the professional questioning them, at the lest. This veiling is normal human behaviour, and it has bamboozled professionals on such subjects from Freud to Masters and Johnston and on and on and so forth, which has led to an industry of professional opinion about female sexuality, but very little actual truth.
Enter metadata! Jordan Peterson gave us something HUGE on this subject. He accessed metadata from google searches, to see what women were actually looking for in terms of pornography, rather than what we think women want sexually. Google can do that, and it can identify the gender of the search users, so the data is trustworthy as its completely blind of opinion and veiling. What women searched for, is what the data showed, nothing more, nothing less.
Okay, given that most female ‘porn’ is consumed in written form (Mills and Boon or Harlequin Romance ‘Bodice Rippers’), google determined that the top five characters of ‘The Protagonist’ in female pornography were: Surgeon, Billionaire, Pirate, Werewolf and Vampire. The theme of such pornography that was most desired, was the story of the vaunting power of the female sexuality which ‘tamed’ the monster of the protagonist, and after that they lived happily ever after, etc etc.
You won’t hear such from ANY professional opinionster about female sexuality, and what men should and shouldn’t be ‘for their women’. You will hear that men should be loving, men should be gentle, men should be good providers etc etc. But women WANT monsters! So the real truth, is 180 degrees from the opinion.
To extend this 180 thought model, or testing protocol, as means of truth seeking, Freud and Co (and Co and Co and Co) all labelled gay men as deviants. They INVENTED the division between Heterosexual and Homosexual, and since then we’ve had a cascade of everything ‘different’ being labelled a perversion. Never mind that ‘gays’ have always been in the human species and many other species, suddenly some expert decides that they are failed men, and they are therefore deviants. The principal reasoning behind this is that they do not take women as partners and do not, as a rule, father children. So they are ‘failed men’ and they ‘fail’ women. The same women who say that they want a good man (who, of course, doesn’t actually exist), but who actually want a monster (who might exist, if you just look hard enough).
What is lost in that dualistic conundrum is that ‘gay’ men aren’t actually interested in being a ‘nice boy’ or a ‘monster’, for a woman AT ALL. They are not interested in being one half of a union of opposites, they are interested in a bond with a human of the same type as themselves. Essentially, they are brothers, not brother and sister. There is no substitution here, no ‘failure’ involved, only desire, and seeking for a truth.
With BDSM, you have a similar problem with observation and analysis as ‘truth’ by expert observation and deduction, versus actual reality, the two are 180 degrees apart. NO ONE who actually practices BDSM would say that it’s a substitute for intimacy. It’s exactly the opposite, 180 degrees, it’s an extraordinary, metaphorical and literal pursuit of intimacy on all levels, emotional, spiritual, sexual, physical. That’s the reality. It’s a total 3 dimensional experience, in the extreme.
Unfortunately, the ‘Pornography’ version (which is barely 2 dimensional) is not taken from the reality of BDSM, it’s taken from the down-streamed ‘deviant’ version of the reality from Freud and Co (and Co and Co and Co), which people think is the true reality because ‘Experts’. So it’s a literalisation of a pseudo reality, masquerading as a ‘Truth’, which I would suggest is a phenonema which is created by the absorption of the reality proposed by Freud and Co (and Co and Co and Co). 180 degrees!
So, women and monsters and good men again… Have Freud and Co (and Co and Co and Co) actually CREATED this split through their religion of the mind? I think that is the actual truth. I also think that these experts have so split us all off from our own 3 Dimensional desires, and our spirit, that we’re all either becoming monsters, or desire to make union with a monster, or we’re casting around looking for monsters to kill. So you want an answer to that – go where the experts have already labelled everyone as monsters… I mean actual sexuality, if you can still find it somewhere, somehow.

I developed a hypothesis when a freshman of college psychology. Never spoke in it, so hear goes...
Freud freakin' wrecked The West & most especially, America. His splitting The Mind, into 3 all too confined, & un-sublime rooms of darkened nether whatnot, ruined Mind. In his early daze he was wasting time, but makin' money listenin' to the bourgeois women with too much time on their hands, full of complaints & self-pity with husband's dough in tow. He Siggy concocted a royal mess that still it concretized into the Western mind. One must be careful not to say "rod" or this or that or cherry pie, & be accused by a true full gaggle of un-grown adolescents. There are whole TV shows based on this stupidity running thru their veins. At least at a wiser age, Siggy finally could enjoy a cigar.

A Catholic priest told me this:
Just before his day of vows he had to meet with his bishop. After discussion about other stuff, the Bishop placed on his desk 2 pictures. One of a man, ripped weight lifting type, the other a woman in a bikini. He asked the soon to be priest. Which one do you prefer? Not wanting to lie, AND HE THOUGHT THIS WOULD DISQUALIFY HIS BECOMING A PRIEST, he pointed to the man picture.
NO DISCUSSION.
NO SHOCK.
NO QUESTIONS.

Did I tell you that my father worked for Grove Press? And he designed the cover of that book Eros Denied. I have the only remaining Orgone Box in existence. I have number 8. My father was a devotee. As you know, all his books and boxes were burned.
The article is very triggering for me, of course, given my background living with a Reichian father. But it is very important. You do excellent work. as always!
