Masters of sex
6 of the drama's hottest scenes

Part of the joy of watching Showtime’s Masters of Sex comes from the show’s digging into all the (sometimes kinky) minutiae of what makes people tick in the bedroom. Whether it’s examining the chemistry between its main characters Dr. William Masters (Michael Sheen) and Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) or poking, prodding and pairing off its subjects in a sexual laboratory, Masters lets it all hang out in the interest of science. Here are 6 scenes from the series (which returns on September 11) that have provided the biggest voyeuristic thrills.
