Masters and Johnson's studies on sexual behavior revolutionized the understanding of human sexuality. Their research focused on the physiological responses of men and women during sexual activity, challenging traditional beliefs about sexuality. They developed the stages of sexual response cycle and emphasized the importance of communication and intimacy in sexual relationships.
Masters and Johnson were a research team influential in their study of human sexual behavior and response. Their groundbreaking work in the 1960s and 1970s led to a better understanding of the physiology and psychology of sexual response in humans.
The first systematic surveys of sexual behavior were conducted in 1940 by Alfred Kinsey, an American biologist and sexologist. His studies on human sexuality were groundbreaking and provided valuable insights into sexual behavior.
Alfred C. Kinsey's sexual studies portrayed America as having a diverse range of sexual behaviors and preferences that deviated from traditional societal norms. His research shed light on previously overlooked aspects of human sexuality and challenged prevailing beliefs about sexual behavior.
The second phase of Masters and Johnson's sexual response cycle is the plateau phase. This phase involves a continuation of the physiological changes that occurred during the excitement phase, leading to increased pleasure and arousal. It is characterized by further increases in heart rate, breathing, and muscle tension.
Alfred Kinsey and his colleagues conducted the first large-scale studies on sexual behavior in the 1930s and 1940s. Their research laid the foundation for our modern understanding of human sexuality.

Masters launched his project at Washington University, assisted by a grant from the United States Institute of Health. At first he recruited prostitutes for study, but found them unsuitable for his studies of "normal" sexuality. In 1956 he hired Virginia Eshelman Johnson, a sociology student, to help in the interviewing and screening of volunteers. The study was conducted over an eleven-year period with 382 women and 312 men participating. Subjects ranged in age from eighteen to eighty-nine and were paid for their time. Masters found a four-phased cycle relating to male and female sexual responses. To measure physiological changes, he used lectroencephalographs, electrocardiographs, color cinematography, and biochemical studies.
Patterns of Sexual Behavior was created in 1951.
