“Masters Of Sex” Brings Sex Research To The Public

[jwplayer id="7098073"]

You'll pardon our obsession with this show, but as we get closer and closer to the premiere, more and more footage finds its way to us -- and how can we not share it with you? This clip comes from the second episode, and (as far as we can tell without the context of the full episode) gives us a glimpse at one of William Masters's attempts to show off his research to a broader audience.

Fun fact: were you aware that, initially, Masters and Johnson only recruited sex workers for their studies? As people who were knowledgable about sex and not particularly shy about it, they were the perfect fit for research that relied on people being willing to put aside some social mores about sexuality. We bring this up both because it's interesting and because, well, if "Masters of Sex" is keeping that bit of history in the storyline, it makes the ending of this clip make a lot more sense.
