Now a New Showtime Original Series
Showtime's
dramatic series Masters of Sex, starring Michael
Sheen and Lizzy Caplan, is based on this real-life story of
sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson. Before
Sex and the City and ViagraTM, America relied on
Masters and Johnson to teach us everything we needed to know
about what goes on in the bedroom. 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. Entertaining, revealing, and beautifully told,
Masters of Sex sheds light on the eternal mysteries
of desire, intimacy, and the American psyche.
