I saw a trailer of it on tv but I did not watch it yet.
One of the one's I watched, they paid sujects and asked volunteers a questionaire then recorded responses during ejaculation for males and females during masturbation. It started out with their test subjects in a control study being prostitutes. It is kinda interesting the two main characters's [the doctor and his female assist] back stories and the dynamics.
I am not devestated I missed the season's opening.
I watch or stream 3 things now, and two just ended, another I gave up on. I am not a big TV person, (I would rather watch a movie).
Thanks for answering. I hope you get to watch it.
I just finished watching the series. I enjoyed it and I went into it not expecting much. I forgot how sex was so back then.
It has been shown this side of the pond. It is, in my humble opinion, very good indeed.
Present generations are generally unaware of the stultifying, buttoned up, undemonstrative, rigid, smug and complacent atmosphere that permeated the 1950's in America, Britain, and many parts of Europe. There is a saying over here that, " sex was invented in 1962." (it implies by Christine Keeler in the Profumo affair which rocked the British government that year). Another says "my parents only did it twice ...me and my sister". What these two did followed naturally from The Kinsey Report. At the time they did their work no one studied the physiology of sexual intercourse. Yes we knew a lot about the anatomy, and the mechanical functions but virtually nothing much about the physiological, hormonal and psychological processes of intercourse and orgasm appears in the scientific literature until their work was published.
A dramatic TV series will of course not be a true representation of the real events but for anyone interested in sex at any level beyond a lustful shag must be aware of what these two very important researchers actually achieved. Watch it and you will be entertained, and informed.
