"I hadn't really known about Masters & Johnson as people and this brought a lot of insight. I just wish there had been more focus on their later years, what drove Masters to advance crackpot theories about homosexuality and Johnson to destroy all their tapes, things like that. Still, I learned plenty of things I hadn't known."
"Wow, talk about Masters and Johnson! If there is anything you ever wanted to know about them, it is in this book. Plus quite a few things you didn't know you wanted to know. It may be because I'm in a related field to M&J and have always seen them as forefathers, but I was enthralled with the book from start to finish.
Why only 3 stars? I'm not positive that the content really required 375 pages of text to explicate. Also, the opening description of Virginia's first sex experience was almost bad enough to make me stop reading. Don't give up on page 6, it gets better, I promise! Finally, there were some statements, especially those defending M&J's position on the transmission of HIV, that are just not scientifically correct. Maier should have acknowledged their flaws instead of constantly aiming to prove how ahead of their time they were. (That said, there are plenty of other, very interesting, flaws mentioned in the book.)
All in all, I would recommend it - especially to someone who's interested in sex."
