Amazing new tv show

I just found this amazing new tv show. Masters of Sex. I've only watched the first episode but it basically involves a doctor who is researching response to sexual stimuli. It's graphic enough and the storyline is good. Definitely check it out!

It's about William Masters and Virginia Johnson and their studies at Washington University for almost 40 years.

I am looking forward to watching that show as well. I only watch shows via iTunes, so I will have to wait until it appears on there. I also read a book called, "Masters of Sex: The True Story of Masters & Johnson", which was excellent. I cannot remember the author's name at the moment, though.

The first show was fantastic. I learned a lot about sex as a teenager reading their book "Everything you always wanted to know about sex, but were afraid to ask"

For those of you that don't get Showtime, they have the first episode viewable at the site for free:

Thanks for the link... will definitely check out!

It is indeed a great show, at least from what I can tell from the first episode. I'd say that in some aspects it's still just a tad on the prudish side when it comes to showing sex and nudity, but then again, being 21st century USA in the midst of ongoing culture wars about the propriety of just about everything, it's still a bold step forward.

When I was a student, in the 70's I remember reading about the Masters and Johnson studies, which were just then being revealed to the general public (from what I can remember at any rate) and it seemed like an appropriate topic of study at the time, something overdue at any rate.

One thing that I thought a bit odd, is that the story starting in 1956, makes no mention of any of the Kinsey studies, which surely at the time made a big impact on the general public as well as in scientific circles. Surely Masters must have had the idea of continuing or maybe even trumping Kinsey's studies by taking on the physiological aspects of sex and gathering hard, numerical data?

In any case, the show peaked my interest in reading more about this, something I sort of glossed over as being nothing out of the ordinary when I was younger.

UK Members can watch this on Channel 4 at 2100hrs on Tuesday 8th October.

The trailers do look very interesting!.

Thank you very much. Looks very promising.
