Sexy Science
In the mid-1950s, William Masters teamed with Virginia Johnson to study the bodily changes occurring during masturbation and sex. Their research was groundbreaking, and it upended many long-held misconceptions about sex. For example, Masters and Johnson found that the length of a man’s penis does not determine his ability to give pleasure (Fox, 2013, July 25).
