and 2 .- Masters, Johnson, and pastors Anabaptists statistical deviations

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

But while the prostitutes involved with discipline in the study by Dr. Masters, provided to its demands supported by the University of Saint Louis, soon discovered that the results would be so devious as those of ministers Anabaptists Dr. Kinsey .

Indeed, one can not generalize about human sexual behavior, based on a deflected base. And do not take diverted in the moral sense, but statistical. It is as if in a city we did a traffic study using only the travel patterns of taxis, or market analizasemos sunflower seeds from the birds taking a sample which had only parrots.

Of course, the advantage of using professionals for their studies is that they were not going to show prim. Once I explained Dr Masters provision, and they announced the price, if any agreement (how I would have liked to attend these talks, I imagine the doctor embarrassed explaining the test, and Mrs. or Miss saying ... that, for $ 200 is done!) they went into the living room to do what they had hired.

But the drawback is that it is the same as the female sexual response (by the way, do not tell the story if besides prostitutes, also hired taxi-boys) who sleeps with her partner after a day of work, that of one that lies with the lab assistant (voluntary, of course) and that is your client seventh day ...

It was discovered by Dr. Masters once, and then did what he had to do, find a statistically valid sample, ie the population to investigate to find volunteers to participate in the study.

Would it be statistically validated this new show? But no. Better than the last, sure, but not statistically valid, since volunteered. And to volunteer in a study of sexual response in the America of the 50 had their degree of ... do not know how call you, morbid?

Because the study was to be the counterpart of Kinsey, who was remote, anonymous and by mail. And it was not as clinical as one was done in this era, looking for female erogenous zones, where the doctor, with the patient in gynecological position and fitted with a wooden stick with cotton on the tip, was pat to the patient while asked, "You increase your arousal feels?" and of course, was to be no.

NOO, it was not what I wanted to Masters, he wanted life itself, I wanted to be there, be present, record everything, understand everything. Very masculine position as for the attraction, the desire for closeness, love variables were not eligible.

Overall, he decided to seek volunteers through advertisement in the University and through their colleagues ... Imagine the situation and the scandal, 1954, a small university in the Midwest, seeking volunteers for a study on sexual response!

And they appeared 1273! how 1273 would be released these individuals, who dared to break taboos in the American heartland.

Nor were a representative sample of America, but Masters wanted to analyze only the physiological, and that all he needed was physiologically normal people. One may ask how this sample was psychologically and can not but think of Freud's studies on hysteria and how to cure it. They left many followers of Freud, "curing" hysteria masturbating to the patients, who came out - I guess - the query is not whether cured, but undoubtedly smiling.

But of course, had to do a selection process among the 1273 volunteers, and especially among the volunteers. And sought a helper, woman, Virginia Johnson, social worker (some say that psychologist) to do the interviews, and ultimately selected 694 cases, of which 276 were couples, 106 women and 36 men. And you wonder why this asymmetry. Why 3 times more women than men? was more interesting for the researchers?

And he taught them the equipment they would use, and teach them the place, a room, well lit (you had to shoot), with devices (vibrators, anal pressure probes, electrocardiographs, EEG), film cameras - there was no even television - and one way glass, and were told that if they agreed to participate in the study, they were going to fuck (or masturbation) there. And get used to, they would first without witnesses.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find photo lab.

And it did, first became accustomed to the apparatus, and place the assumption that no one was looking, and once used as loose and able to make their performance, technicians were summoned to light, sound, apparatus, and volunteers acted.

And of course the findings were useful and interesting, were the stages of sex, the carpal-pedal reflex in orgasm, vaginal reflexes in the moment of orgasm, which causes a suction effect that aspire to sperm, flush post osgarmo and many other things that were already known. Without going further, Giacomo Casanova in his memoirs speaks exactly the same effects. Clear that Casanova probably experience was as wide as the Masters, and it firsthand (so to speak)

And so we see that test (attended by over 10,000 sex acts, which are few) are encouraged each other, because both William Howell Masters and Virginia Eshelman Johnson separated from their partners to rebuild their lives together, and check (I guess) in the flesh their theories. Also had to be fun folleteo a session between the two, analyzing heartbeat, and nervous tics, and color of mucous membranes "Howard Look, I do not fool me, that the tip of the cock is olive-brown in color, not purple accordingly, you have simulated to leave you alone. " Sure separate terms.

Enfin, I know not of general interest, but it amuses me this story
