The Biggest Female Sexual Fantasy | Jordan Peterson
Summary
TLDRIn *A Billion Wicked Thoughts*, a team of Google engineers explored internet search data to understand the role of sexual content in shaping technology. They found that early internet development was largely driven by young men’s search for pornography. The engineers also identified key differences in search behavior between genders—while men sought out visual content, women preferred written sexual material, such as Harlequin romances. The book explores how these literary fantasies often feature dominant male figures, and women who tame them, reflecting deeper psychological dynamics of aggression and control within romantic and sexual fantasies.
Takeaways
- 😀 The book 'A Billion Wicked Thoughts' was written by Google engineers who analyzed billions of Google searches to understand online behaviors.
- 😀 One of the key drivers behind the development of the internet was young men's proclivity for searching sexually provocative images.
- 😀 Despite a common perception, pornography has become less prevalent on the internet compared to its early days of development.
- 😀 Engineers found that men typically searched for images of pornography, while women more often searched for written representations, such as literary erotica.
- 😀 The study revealed that women's pornography preferences are often centered around literary works like Harlequin romances, which have evolved over time to include more explicit content.
- 😀 Harlequin romances, once tame, now feature hardcore versions, but they still retain variations of implied versus explicit sexual content.
- 😀 Engineers, unlike social scientists, conducted the study without ethical reservations, which allowed them to uncover unexpected patterns in human behavior.
- 😀 The basic plot of female pornographic fantasies, based on the study, involves an innocent woman encountering a dominant, aggressive male figure who can be 'tamed'.
- 😀 The 'monster' archetypes in female fantasies include vampires, werewolves, billionaires, pirates, and surgeons, representing different forms of male dominance and power.
- 😀 The central theme of the fantasy is that women seek men who are aggressive, but they also want to tame or civilize this aggression, reflecting a desire for chaos and control.
- 😀 The concept of 'taming' an aggressive male aligns with the traditional 'Beauty and the Beast' narrative, where the female character domesticates the 'monster' to restore balance.
