Masters and Johnson : The Origin Story
» Amorous Research
William Masters was one of the good guys. I suspect we owe him an awful lot. How he got started observing sexual practices and met his co-researcher Virginai Johnson:
He began in a small way by spying on prostitutes (conscripted with the local vice squad’s help and the Catholic archbishop’s blessing). When one of his subjects suggested he find a female partner, Masters settled on an unlikely candidate: an unemployed, twice-divorced mother with two small kids and no degree. Initially hired as Masters’s secretary, Virginia Johnson quickly proved her worth in the lab, efficiently gathering personal histories and sounding the notes of empathy that were absent from Masters’s cool register
