MASTERS OF SEX: VIRGINIA AND BILL

This series is based on the lives of Masters and Johnson, researchers who looked at sexual pleasure — both male and female — through a scientific lens. Still, the sex on the show is anything but clinical. There's one specific moment in episode seven, season 1, in which, Virgina Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) experiences her first mutual orgasm with the good doctor Bill Masters (Michael Sheen). It’s a stark contrast to the first sex scene of the episode — there, Virginia looks completely bored and resigned. The final lab scene shows her completely engaged in owning her sexual pleasure, empowerment that transfers over into her budding relationship with Masters.
