Showtime's dramatic series Masters of Sex, starring Michael Sheen and LizzyCaplan, is based on this real-life story of sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson.
Convincing hundreds of men and women to shed their clothes and copulate, the pair were the nation’s top experts on love and intimacy. Highlighting interviews with the notoriously private Masters and the ambitious Johnson, critically acclaimed biographer Thomas Maier shows how this unusual team changed the way we all thought about, talked about, and engaged in sex while they simultaneously tried to make sense of their own relationship.
