When we started this podcast, we wanted to provide education for parents and teachers to create a more emotionally aware environment but we also wanted to supply the general public with interesting psychological theory and research trends. 

This episode alongside Dr. Rob King was one of our favourites and delves into the evolutionary psychology of orgasms, mating and attraction. We speak about topics ranging from fertility to overcoming human instinct, and mass shootings to why smell matters. For the parents listening, Dr. King touches on alternative approaches of sexual education and why social media is particularly dangerous for young girls. 

Listener discretion advised. Hope you enjoy!
