Module 07: Discussion - Human Sexual Response

Human Sexual Response Video Assignment

This assignment is required and counts towards your grade in this course.

Purpose

This video will help you to explain Masters and Johnson's sexual response cycle. It will provide an opportunity to write your learning, share your thoughts with others, and learn from other perspectives in the class.

Directions

Watch the "Human Sexual Response" video linked above. The video can also be accessed at:

Showtime "Masters of Sex" -- Masters and Johnson On America's Biggest Sexual Experiment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZcYTCo-D9s)

This video presents the work of sexologists Masters and Johnson.

After watching the video, select 3 of the following 4 questions and share your answers on the discussion board forum titled, “Human Sexual Response Discussion”.

Were you surprised that "getting research subjects was easy" in the 1950s and 1960s for Masters and Johnson's research? Why or why not?

Would such research be as scandalous today? Why or why not? What are the benefits of the research methodology used by Masters and Johnson? What findings were discovered that couldn't have been revealed with other types of methods such as an questionnaire? The video clip states that Masters and Johnson's book outlined "the four phases of orgasm and the physiological responses of each phase". Using your textbook, identify each phase/stage and explain the responses of each phase/stage.
