12 Facts You Didn't Know About Masters Of Sex
6. It Debunked Freud
Sigmund Freud is cited as the founding father of psychoanalysis, and one of the great minds of the late 19th and early 20th century. Despite that, one of his findings was actually debunked by Masters and Johnson, and thus also proved wrong on the show.
This is to do with Freud’s theory that vaginal orgasms are superior to clitoral orgasms, something that as we see on the show isn’t the case as the female response is equal. It also leads to Johnson noting that a woman doesn’t need a man, and may actually be better off without them.
Sorry guys.
