List the key criticisms of Masters and Johnson's sexual response model.
What will be an ideal response?
Some experts on human sexuality are critical of Masters and Johnson's model. One important criticism of the model is that it focuses mainly on the physiological aspects of sexual response and ignores the cognitive and subjective aspects such as the person's thoughts and feelings. Desire and passion are not a part of the model. Another criticism concerns how research participants were chosen and how this process may have created a self-fulfilling prophecy for the outcome. A prerequisite for participation in the study was that participants should have had a history of orgasm both through masturbation and through coitus. Therefore, anyone whose pattern of sexual response did not include orgasm was excluded from the study. As a result of this, their model cannot be generalized to the entire population. The research, in short, claims to be objective and universal when it is neither.
