Dr Robert King appeared on Modern Wisdom to discuss human sexuality, mating behavior, and related cultural phenomena. During the conversation, Dr Robert King recommended Olivia Judson's book Dr. Tatiana's sex advice to all creation, stating that he suggests it to everyone. In addition to recommending Judson's work, Dr Robert King discussed several other influential books and literary works across different genres. He mentioned Donald Symons's book The evolution of human sexuality, noting that it explored the full structure and nature of the clitoris back in the 1970s. Dr Robert King also brought up Anaïs Nin's Delta of Venus alongside Emanuel as examples of erotica and dark romance themed books written by women. Expanding on this theme, he cited Nine and a Half Weeks by Elizabeth McNeill, Guido Crepax's Story of O, and Fifty Shades of Gray, describing the latter as a prime example of successful dark romance books written by women that always draw widespread public reaction whenever they are released. Furthermore, Dr Robert King referenced Sarah Hill's book This Is Your Brain on Birth Control during a conversation addressing the physiological and neurological effects of hormonal birth control on individuals. Throughout his appearance, he utilized these diverse literary references to illustrate historical and contemporary perspectives on human biology, sexuality, and cultural attitudes toward romance.
