None other than William Masters of Masters and Johnson’s fame said that women should use the drug to avoid falling into the third sex or the neutral gender, which is very off-base to say the least.
The best things said about it
That same year, Masters and Johnson published a book, Human Sexual Response, which dedicated an entire chapter to the clitoris, which they labeled quote a unique organ in the total of human anatomy because its only purpose was sexual.
Why people recommend it
Human sexual response by William H. Masters and Virginia Johnson is a landmark scientific publication that dedicated an entire chapter to the clitoris, categorizing it as a unique organ in human anatomy whose sole purpose is sexual. Robert Evans discussed this aspect of the research on an episode of Behind the Bastards in April 2021, highlighting the significance of the findings to the broader study of female sexuality. Additionally, on an episode of Stuff You Should Know in April 2024, Josh Clark referenced William Masters—noted for his pioneering sexual research alongside Virginia Johnson—while discussing historical perspectives on hormones. Clark mentioned a controversial opinion held by Masters suggesting that women should use specific drugs to avoid falling into a neutral gender category, which the host criticized as extremely off-base. Together, these podcast references underscore the historical impact of the authors' clinical work and writings, reflecting both their groundbreaking anatomical insights and the occasionally problematic social views held by figures in the field of mid-century sexology.
