Masters of Sex

Is anyone watching the "Masters of Sex" series on Showtime?
A docudrama on the sex studies of Masters & Johnson.

I find it interesting...not just to see what it takes to do a study on sex.

But I'm also fascinated for the moral relativism.

What is comfortable for one...is uncomfortable for another.
What one knows sexually...doesn't automatically transfer to another.
And so on...

I've always found it interesting.
Why does it have to be so complicated?? (and sometimes it doesn't...)

And actually...that's cool too, trying to find a baseline, a pattern...for scientific purposes,
in something SO inconsistent.

And to have done this study in such a prudish time...not like now.
But then again, we have them to thank for helping us get to now. (The web would be different)

They're doing an excellent job so far.
Can't be shy being a cast-member on this show.

 

I really want to watch it, but I don't have Showtime. I grew up fascinated with the work accomplished by Masters and Johnson. I'll get my hands on it somehow

 

Because my cable provider will throttle you if they catch you?

 

Well, I figure if quite a few can watch "Game of Thrones" and "Homeland", then this one would be legit.
But I guess it needs to be distributed a bit more first.

I've never understood why so many have hang ups on it.
Put such an onus on it.
Even the experts are often like fish out of water as they acclimate themselves to certain ideas around it.

You don't have to be an extremist to just let go of the taboo.

It's a great examination of the whole thing.

I loved the scene where one of the study subjects has had a bad night, and screams "Why won't my dick work?!!"
And the whole subtle gestures of the characters leading up to it. (even those watching it...)

 

I don't know much about their books, but I just love to get my hands on my Master's Johnson.

 

I really don't think they hold back, at least for Showtime "levels".
It's just that they are focused on the conflict and confusion people have about sex...and the interpersonal relationships related to them.

Makes me wonder how we continued through the generations with all the stupidity of sexual relations...and misinformation about it.

 

ooo...it just got a bit more heated.
Masters & Johnson...crack the wall.

But actually, it's fascinating to see them discuss ideas that many of us just take for granted now.
But ironically, many still have trouble understanding and dealing with.

I wonder how long it will take for most of the world to simply take sex as it is.
Get educated on what to do and what works.
And stop being as titillated. (uhhh...he said "tit", he, heh, heh )

 

Thanks, @Plan9 As an incorrigible punster I'll accept a cringe as a high compliment. Even higher than a groan.

 

Ok, ok...don't just jack each other off...
We'll have to put wires on you...and include you in the study.

Not that we can't good numbers off of ya.

We starting to get into new territory.
I wonder if M&J would value the sociological aspect of our perverted board?

...fascinating
