"PinterestFacebookAs of yesterday, you can watch the pilot of Showtime&amp;#39;s new drama Masters of Sex, the show based on the true story of the intense sex studies by Dr. William Masters and Virginia Johnson. If the always delightful Lizzy Caplan wasn&amp;#39;t reason enough to watch&amp;#8212;seriously, see her gorgeous photo and interview with us, and try to tell me you don&amp;#39;t love her&amp;#8212;maybe all the fun sexy history will convince you?\nI checked out the first episode last night, and what struck me was that while the show is set in the 1950s and there are a lot of tongue-in-cheek jokes about the now-outdated views on sex, some of it still feels pretty relevant 60 years later. If we take it a completely historically accurate portrayal of relationships and sex, which I do because it&amp;#39;s easier and prettier than like, researching the actual history, here are five things that haven&amp;#39;t changed much at all:\nA good blow job is everything to a man. Seriously, the reaction of the lucky guy who gets one is epic. He basically decides to marry her. Shockingly, guys still love it. On the other hand, and luckily, men today seem far more aware that they can return the favor.\nPeople have varying understandings of what the term &amp;quot;friends&amp;quot; can mean between a man and a woman. For Virginia Johnson, it means &amp;quot;Have sex, get out of my bed, and don&amp;#39;t be territorial, dude.&amp;quot; For her pal Ethan, who prefers the term lovers, it means total deranged obsession, which is so pathetic it&amp;#39;s almost funny (until he takes it WAY too far). Point is, you better agree on a definition first.\nMen have ulterior motives for wanting to know what pleases women in bed. Usually, it&amp;#39;s to get laid more often. In Dr. Masters&amp;#39; case, it&amp;#39;s to win a Nobel prize. Oh, fellas. Don&amp;#39;t any of you just want to make us happy?\nCalling a man &amp;quot;Daddy&amp;quot; during sex is creepy in any era of time. Seriously, Masters&amp;#39; wife, who seems otherwise lovely thus far, continually calls him that, and it&amp;#39;s horrifying. Somehow, the fact that they&amp;#39;re trying to conceive makes it seem not even remotely less gross.\nMen&amp;#39;s total and utter confusion about women. Spoken by a dude: &amp;quot;What does the woman you&amp;#39;re sleeping with want? The riddle of life itself can&amp;#39;t come close to the unfathomable mystery of that question.&amp;quot; Come on, you guys. We&amp;#39;re not that complicated!\nYou can watch the episode here&amp;#8212;but um, definitely not at work or anywhere else you&amp;#39;d be embarrassed to have your speakers blare the sound of a rather enthusiastic male orgasm a few minutes in!\nAre you going to tune in to this racy new show?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
