Human Sexual Response
Book • 2003
Published in 1966, 'Human Sexual Response' is a seminal work by William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson that revolutionized the understanding of human sexuality.
The book presents the results of their extensive research, which included direct observation of anatomical and physiological sexual responses in human subjects.
It introduced the four-stage model of sexual response (excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution) and debunked several long-standing myths, such as the Freudian concept of the vaginal orgasm.
The study validated masturbation as a normative sexual behavior, affirmed the sexual capabilities of older adults, and emphasized the relational aspect of sexual activity.
This work was a significant contribution to the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s and has had a lasting impact on the field of sexology.
