Dr Robert King appeared on Modern Wisdom to discuss human sexuality, evolutionary psychology, and popular literature touching on BDSM and romance themes. A primary recommendation from Dr King was Olivia Judson's 'Dr. Tatiana's sex advice to all creation', a book he enthusiastically suggested to everyone for its engaging approach to evolutionary biology and sexual strategies across species. Expanding on the topic of human sexuality, he referenced Donald Symons's influential 1970s work, 'The evolution of human sexuality', noting its detailed examination of the structure and nature of the clitoris. Dr King also explored a recurring cultural pattern regarding dark romance and erotica written by women, connecting various literary and practical texts. He brought up Anaïs Nin's 'Delta of Venus' alongside Steven L. Emanuel's 'Emanuel Law Outlines' as part of an eclectic list of works featuring dominant themes. Continuing this literary thread into popular culture and BDSM-themed literature, he mentioned Elizabeth McNeill's 'Nine and a half weeks', Susan Napier's 'The counterfeit secretary', and the notorious erotica work 'Story of O', culminating in a reference to 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. Through these varied references, Dr King illustrated how themes of dominance, submission, and human mating psychology manifest across scientific literature, legal outlines, and popular erotic fiction.
