Masters of Sex: The Life and Times of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the Couple Who Taught America How to Love

Masters of Sex: The Life and Times of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the Couple Who Taught America How to Love by Thomas Maier, 411 pages. Audio narrated by Dorie Barton.
There's a lot of information here about Masters and Johnson, their lives, their research, and their relationships. I didn't know any of it except the bits that have entered the kind of "everybody knows that about sex" stuff, that apparently not that many people knew before their research.
I wasn't really aware that Masters and Johnson had done their research at Washington University (though I had noticed their stars on the St Louis Walk of Fame), or that Johnson had lived here in University City. Johnson's changing role in the research also was a revelation. I had always assumed, from the way the team was referred to, and from the iconic photos of the two lab-coated researchers, that they were a pair of researchers embarking on this quest together, and not that it had started as Masters' research and that Johnson had joined the team at a rather lower level and worked her way up. Lots of interesting detail and a well-told story. The narration on the audio was well-done. Obviously there's some rather frank discussion of human sexuality here, so steer clear if that offends you. And with the weird coerced to semi-coerced sexual relationship between the two researchers added to the general ideas surrounding sex back then (and today), well, there's some creepiness too.
