Watch Showtime's 'Masters of Sex' Before the Premiere!

Showtime's new series Masters of Sex doesn't premiere until September 29 but they're letting those of us who can't wait watch the full first episode early on YouTube (age-restricted, of course!).

Masters of Sex stars Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan as real-life pioneers of the science of human sexuality, William Masters and Virginia Johnson. Their research touched off the sexual revolution and took them from a midwestern teaching hospital to the cover of Time magazine and multiple appearances on Johnny Carson's couch. He is a brilliant scientist out of touch with his own feelings, and she is a single working mother ahead of her time. The series chronicles their unusual lives, romance, and unlikely pop culture trajectory.

"This show is really about how we should feel beautiful. When you feel beautiful, you're going to have more of a willingness to use your voice to speak," says Cho. "And there are a lot of dick jokes. A whole lot."
