Psychological Safety and Sexual Response

There’s a reason female orgasm is still so misunderstood... and Dr. Robert King is here to explain why. In this episode, Dr. King unpacks the evolutionary purpose of female orgasm, what scent reveals about sexual compatibility, and why most people misunderstand female pleasure. From the truth about pheromones to the science of squirting and the psychology of mate selection, this conversation challenges long-held myths with real research and insight.

OUR GUESTDr Robert King is a lecturer at University College Cork (Ireland) where he co-runs the Master’s Course in Mental Health. His lab has PhDs and others studying access to health care in trans populations, and Spree Killers. He has a recent book out called Naturally Selective, Evolution, Orgasm and Female Choice, which synthesizes and explains the last fifty years of research (including his own) into fertility related functions of female orgasm, much of which has been woefully misrepresented.DR.
