Provocative SF Comedy Novel “Sex On the Wrong Brain”, Site, Suggest Fascism is a Masturbation Problem That Can be Reduced with a Simple Planetary Sex Ed Lesson
New York, NY, November 01, 2024 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “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.”
To reach a wider audience “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.
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.
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. – Autocratic 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. – Autocratic leaders must appear certain, decisive, never wrong, and never apologize. Chaos and fear increase the value of their royal certitude and help attract and control followers. – Associating sex with punishment and guilt redirects reproductive pleasure to reward the rationalization of lies, denial of reality, and hypocrisy needed to ignore facts and truth and accept certainty.
Greed increases when reproductive energy fuels numbers, math, and measurement and wants more, bigger, faster. Sexual dysfunction can result when reproductive energy is diverted for purposes unrelated to sex.
The book and website claim: – Factors effecting SOWB levels include handedness, gender, ancestry, age, frustration, and left brain dominance. – SOWB is why human 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.
The author suggests testing for sex on the wrong brain might make artificial intelligence less dangerous. “AI can reflect human biases and overconfidence,” says the author. “AIs can be very certain and very wrong and for medical diagnosis or a self-driving car, for instance, mistakes can be deadly.”
Reviewer Simon Barrett says, “Yes, I like ‘Sex On the Wrong Brain’ a lot. If you like Douglas Adams and don’t mind a few ‘smutty’ bits, you will enjoy this book.” A screenplay of the same name has been selected as a finalist in various contests.

Nashville, TN, November 20, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– A fourth-generation U.S. Virgin Islander who has called Nashville home since 1993, de Lugo transitioned from an award-winning career in music publishing and feature film producing, with Platinum and Gold Albums, Arista Records A-Team Award, BMI #1 and more, to lavender farming in 2018. Focusing exclusively on Peace Tree Farm’s trademarked, heat- and humidity-tolerant hybrids—Lavender Phenomenal®, Sensational!®, and Exceptional!®—she has proven these cultivars are the definitive choice for Southern growers.
Lloyd Traven, President of Peace Tree Farm, the original breeder of these global-standard varieties, praises de Lugo’s early foresight and influence:
“Over a period of the last decade, Gigi has been highlighting our introductions that have become the Gold Standard for lavender worldwide, and she was an early proponent because she saw the extra value of these introductions… Once she knew the plants were different and far superior, she committed to making the right choice for her customers. She can now proudly say that she has started over 30 new farms on their journey across an area ranging from Virginia through to Iowa!”
From its original rented fields in Whites Creek—Gigi’s Lavender, was celebrated by “Garden & Gun” magazine as one of the South’s top lavender destinations—the licensed nursery has supplied thousands of Peace Tree-bred plants throughout Tennessee and beyond. In 2019, de Lugo founded “The Lavender Exchange (TLx),” an exclusive membership alliance offering ongoing technical support, resource sharing, cooperative marketing, and agritourism promotion to farms that source their plants exclusively from Gigi’s Nursery.
Traven also highlights the impact of this network: “Gigi also knows the great importance and value of marketing with expression of clear benefits and a clear message. She created the Lavender Exchange with this in mind—to provide an outlet for cooperative marketing and sharing of equipment and machinery and product ideas.”
This strengthened ownership ensures continuity for de Lugo’s research, educational outreach, and product innovation at the Joelton location, including her newest Patent Pending offering, “ZWave Mg”—a topical magnesium spray infused with pure Phenomenal lavender hydrosol steam-distilled exclusively from flowers grown by TLx member farms. Designed for relaxation, muscle relief, and better sleep, ZWave Mg showcases the wellness potential of Southern-grown lavender.
“This milestone gives us the stability and security to continue investing in our Southern lavender research, development, product distribution, and growing community of the farms we support through The Lavender Exchange (TLx),” said Gigi de Lugo. “From the beginning I set out to prove lavender could become a viable cash crop for Tennessee and Southern farms—not only a pretty agritourism field, but a real harvestable commodity built on Phenomenal®. It took courageous pioneers willing to bet on the unproven and stay the course with me. These years, alongside the extraordinary farmers of our TLx family, have been one of the greatest adventures of my life.”
Experience the pure essence of Southern lavender: Gigi’s premium products, including the breakthrough ZWave Mg, are available exclusively through her website, and retail partners across Tennessee. Gigi is in discussion with a Nashville based manufacturer to expand her ZWave Mg production capacity for 2026.
About Gigi’s Lavender Nursery & Farm Gigi’s Lavender Nursery & Farm is a Tennessee-licensed grower and an exclusive Southeast source for Peace Tree Farm’s Phenomenal®, Sensational!®, Exceptional!®, Inspirational!® lavender cultivars. It serves as headquarters for The Lavender Exchange (TLx), a premier network advancing lavender agriculture and agritourism across the South and Midwest.
