William Masters
William Masters was an American gynecologist and sexologist known for his pioneering research into human sexuality, particularly in the areas of sexual response and dysfunction. Alongside his colleague Virginia Johnson, he conducted groundbreaking studies in the 1960s that transformed the understanding of sexual health and pleasure, challenging long-held societal taboos and misconceptions about sex. Their work culminated in the publication of 'Human Sexual Response' in 1966, which provided a scientific framework for understanding sexual arousal and orgasm, and laid the foundation for modern sex therapy.
