    About this ebook

    If you can stomach, intellectually digest and rationally consider, without prejudice, the various politically-incorrect, inappropriate, risqué, socially-unacceptable, provocative and, some might say, offensive ideas about sex put forward in this book, then you may well have what it takes to be a genius.

      Secrets of Genius - Robert Jameson

      Warning/Disclaimer

      This book contains challenging and provocative ideas which some people will consider hugely offensive. If you read this book, you do so at your own risk. Please also note that this is a book of opinions, not facts. Nothing in this book should be regarded as a reliable source of factual information of any kind.

      Introduction

      Sex might be the ultimate secret of genius - and you can help prove it! Let me explain:

      If you try to engage a typical person in an intellectual discussion, you may well find that they readily resort to irrational arguments to justify whatever views they already hold and fail to recognise the flaws in their reasoning, even when these flaws are clearly pointed out to them. Furthermore, they may repeatedly fail to understand what ought to be fairly simple points of logic that you put before them in support of any alternative views.

      The reason they fail so frequently and so badly is not, however, anything much to do with any fundamental lack of computational power.

      In the overwhelming majority of cases, they fail because their thinking capabilities are crippled by their numerous prejudices, which are allowed to disrupt and inhibit their rational thought processes.

      In other words, they fail to follow rational arguments pretty much whenever those arguments appear to go against any of the numerous strongly-held prejudices they have accumulated during their lives.

      And by prejudices, I'm not predominantly referring to those prejudices, such as sexism, racism or homophobia, that are most frequently highlighted in the media and which are widely discouraged. I'm mainly referring to those prejudices that the media and society in general positively encourage people to hold - the prejudices of political-correctness and social conformity. These are the ones that most frequently inhibit people's intellectual thinking capabilities.

      Of course it's relatively easy to recognise these intellectual deficiencies in other people, when we happen to be arguing against them - but it's not anywhere near so easy to recognise them in ourselves. 

      In truth, however, pretty much everybody is intellectually inhibited by their prejudices. Some are obviously afflicted worse than others, but the vast majority of people are affected to a very substantial degree.

      So, for almost anyone, the key to improving their intellectual capabilities, lies in learning to recognise and overcome their own prejudices.

      And how can you do this? Simple! You practice questioning and challenging prejudices, until you become good at it. 

      In order to help people in their quest to improve their thinking capabilities, I have written a number of books which encourage people to consider controversial issues and provocative ideas. I challenge people to question the socially-acceptable attitudes and prejudices of the society in which they live.

      My books cover many controversial issues - such as issues relating to gender, race, religion, ageism, animal rights, crime, justice, inequality, violence, slavery, war, free speech and euthanasia. All these are topics that stir up deep emotions and strong prejudices.

      Perhaps none of them, however, are so consistently effective at stirring up emotions and prejudices as topics related to sex and sexuality.

      Sex-related issues are often heavily tied up with emotional reactions, customs, conventions and taboos. And if you can stand up against the biases, prejudices, peer pressure, expectations, embarrassment, demands of political-correctness, accusations of inappropriate or unacceptable views and fear of social condemnation that these sex-related issues can so easily stir up, and manage to come through it all with your logical faculties intact and functioning smoothly, then you can very possibly cope with just about anything.

      And so I have compiled this book, which focuses exclusively on sex-related opinion pieces, as an aid to practising the skills of intelligent thinking.

      Nearly all the chapters are taken from or adapted from chapters in my 'Wosdom' series of books. A few are taken from my book, 'Thoughts from the Broken Society.' And there is a little bit of completely new material thrown in for good measure.

      Most, if not all of the opinions pieces are deliberately controversial, politically-incorrect or provocative in some way or other.

      You may find yourself in agreement with some of them, which is fine, but if you disagree with some of them, that's fine too. The point of these opinion pieces is not that you should agree with them. I don't necessarily agree with all of them myself - as they are not designed to express my personal views.

      The point is that they challenge you to confront and question prejudices, popular assumptions and socially-accepted views - and thus encourage you to overcome any prejudicial initial reactions you might have and think in ways you may not have thought in before.

      If you can stomach, intellectually digest and rationally consider, without prejudice, the various politically-incorrect, inappropriate, risque, socially-unacceptable, provocative and, some might say, offensive, disgusting or even despicable ideas about sex put forward in this book, then you may well have what it takes to be a genius.

      You can read this book from start to finish, if you like, but the chapters in this book can be read in any order you like. Hopefully, you won't have any difficulty in finding some that will interest, entertain and challenge you.

      Lapdancing

      A lapdancing club is, in some people's eyes, a perfectly legitimate entertainment establishment where customers can pay to have an attractive woman - wearing either very few clothes or none at all - dance erotically for them. Essentially, it is a variation on the traditional striptease.

      Many 'lapdancing clubs' don't even have actual lapdancing. Instead, they have 'table dancing,' which generally involves the dancer getting close to the customer, but not actually touching him or her. 'Proper' lapdancing may involve physical contact, although usually it is only the dancer who is allowed to touch the customer - the customer must not touch the dancer.

      Many people, however, seriously frown upon lapdancing clubs, and some campaign vociferously for such establishments not to be allowed to exist. Amongst these campaigners are many people who view themselves as champions for women's rights. It is in the name of respect for women or sexual equality that they campaign for lapdancing clubs to be shut down or refused licences. They say that lapdancing clubs are degrading for the women who work there (and for women generally) and that they are exploiting the dancers.

      Yet, isn't it odd that it is these campaigners who are attempting to restrict what woman are allowed to do for a living? Generally, the women's lib movement campaigns for women to be liberated to work where they want to work - as doctors, lawyers, accountants, managers, footballers or astronauts. Yet, in the case of lapdancing clubs, these campaigners seem, ironically, to want to restrict what women are allowed to do. They don't seem to view women as being capable of making their own decisions as to whether to work in such places. A male stripper, however, is assumed to be able to make such decisions for himself. Thus, it seems that many of the campaigners against lapdancing appear to be rather sexist themselves.

      It is often assumed that a successful woman is necessarily a career woman. Career women who earn high salaries are often given more respect than the women who perform the far more vital task of bringing up children. Yet lapdancing is an exception to the general rule. Whilst we applaud female managers who've managed to arse-lick their way up the greasy pole despite incompetence that rivals and often exceeds that of their male counterparts, highly skilled dancers earning high wages are not deemed worthy of respect for being good at what they do. Instead, they are accused of undermining respect for women.

      And isn't it strange how lapdancing is derided whilst being an accountant is seen as perfectly respectable, despite the tremendous harm accountants and their mentality often inflict on our society?

      What are the real reasons why people campaign to have lapdancing clubs shut down? Are they merely expressing their own insecurities? Is it something to do with finely-toned lapdancers making them feel fat and ugly? Is it because they think men should not be allowed to indulge their fantasies? Do they wish to be seen as champions of moral standards?

      Some people say that lapdancers are selling themselves for money - but are they selling themselves any more than someone who works on a till in a supermarket, or in some seedy marketing department selling shoddy goods or dodgy, overpriced financial products? Is it really morally worse than someone working in a call centre whose job chiefly involves fobbing off people with genuine complaints? Is it really more degrading that climbing the greasy pole of business management? In reality
