BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) ? There's so much sex depicted on a new cable TV series about researchers Masters and Johnson that filming it became ho-hum for star Michael Sheen.
"I never thought I would get used to having a naked woman in front of me masturbating ... but I actually broke that barrier on the show," Sheen, who plays researcher William Masters, said Tuesday.
He plays opposite Lizzy Caplan as co-researcher and future wife Virginia Johnson in Showtime's "Masters of Sex," an explicit depiction of the pair and their groundbreaking mid-20th century scientific investigation of human sexuality.
The series, based on Thomas Maier's 2009 nonfiction book, debuts Sept. 29 on Showtime. Johnson died last week at age 88 in St. Louis. She was divorced from Masters, who died in 2001.
Sheen, whose film credits include "The Queen," said the story remains pertinent because the same "problems of intimacy" and making connections with people apply today.
During a Q&A session with the Television Critics Association, the difficulty of talking about sex publicly became apparent. One reporter asked the cast and producers how the series can include humor without appearing to titter at sexuality.
"We just had a slightly inappropriate look into your sex life. We all thank you for that," Sheen replied, drolly.
Caplan (TV's "True Blood," ''New Girl") said the researchers' work at Washington University in St. Louis and later at their own institute was especially important for women, allowing them to understand and accept their sexuality as healthy.
"Before Masters and Johnson, no one was telling women that. It was always their own fault," Caplan said. "And that's some (baloney)."
The series embellished some characters but "stuck to the facts very carefully," said producer Michelle Ashford. "Certainly (with) the research, we fudged none of that."
Masters and Johnson became big celebrities who were the topic of late-night talk show hosts and on the cover of news magazines. Their work drew some criticism, especially in an era when sex was seldom discussed in public and certainly not in detail.
The cast, asked whether filming sex scenes proved embarrassing, said there was a painstaking effort to protect the actors by making the production "comfortable and safe," Sheen said.
Cast member Teddy Sears recalled director John Madden saying, "I want to protect your modesty," then mimicked the British Madden giving a stage direction: "Grab her bum."
Doing repeated takes of one clinical sex scene turned out to be "decidedly unsexy after a while," Sears said.
The panelists, including executive producer Sarah Timberman, said they were not in touch with Johnson because they'd wanted to respect her privacy.
"She wanted to live out her the last few years of her life not in the limelight," Caplan said.
Johnson "bared her soul in the book (by Maier) and then was done with that," said producer Ashford.

I?ve been doing a lot of soul-searching over the past few weeks.
Trying to figure out why some of my students are so successful, yet others get the SAME material and get virtually no results.
It can?t be the material (it?s the same). It can?t be the coaching (it?s also the same).
So what is it?
?
THE SIMPLE TRUTH
Here?s the way it works and how a majority of people operate. And let?s stick with this world of building an online business.
Phase 1 ? The Pain: This is when people are sick and tired of living in mediocrity. It might be debt and student bills. Or they might have had enough of working for someone else. Whatever the reason, they are looking for a change.
Phase 2 ? The Discovery: They start hitting good ?ol Google and find this entirely new world. Money. Freedom. And lots of big promises. So they buy products and go to the next phase?
Phase 3 ? The Idea: They now have a great idea for a product or business. They jot down a few goals and get excited. They can almost taste that first check. But before the money starts rolling in, it?s time for phase 4.
Phase 4 ? The Silence: This is the final (and fatal) phase. Most of the time, they do nothing. That?s right, the enthusiasm starts to fade and reality sets in. So instead of just doing something ? they choose to do absolutely zip.
?
ENTHUSIASM NEEDS OXYGEN
Just like a fire needs oxygen to survive, so does your enthusiasm.
But in this case, your ?oxygen? is ACTION.
That?s right, ACTION. It can be small, simple steps.?
How many of you took the time to write your Rebel Yell? And if you did write it down, what have you done since then?
Have you created a new marketing funnel? Re-crafted your blog posts? Re-worked your products. Recorded a new video? Wrote a new headline?
These aren?t big action steps. I didn?t say to rent out Madison Square Garden and put on a 20,000 person event. I?m talking small steps.
But again, how many people did this after reading that post? I?m willing to be the percentage is low. Really low. Probably less than 5%. I?d love to be wrong, but I?m not. And 14+ years of doing this online have proven the numbers just don?t change much.
Maybe you got scared. Or you got distracted with yet another ?launch?. Or the pain of actually doing something was too much to overcome.
Whatever the reason, you MUST overcome the inactivity. It?s a requirement for success.
The Rebel Yell was a good first step. Even that small bit of clarity can transform your business. Now it?s time to get off your butt and keep stoking your enthusiasm with ACTION.

Stella Creasy, an MP with the opposition Labour party, faced a stream of abuse after supporting a feminist activist who was targeted for campaigning for an image of novelist Jane Austen to appear on banknotes.
Another lawmaker said she too was receiving a barrage of offensive messages, while a man has been arrested and bailed over rape threats to feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez.
"This isn't about Twitter, this is about hatred of women and hatred of women who speak up," Creasy told BBC radio on Monday.
"Twitter needs to be explicit that sexual violence and sexual aggression will not be tolerated as part of their user terms and conditions."
High-profile women in Britain have long complained of online harassment but the issue reached front pages after Criado-Perez said she received "about 50 abusive tweets an hour for about 12 hours" last week.
Scotland Yard said Tuesday that police had received an allegation from an MP about "malicious communications" over comments on Twitter.
Creasy retweeted a series of tweets that included threats from accounts named "killcreasynow" and "eatcreasynow", which have now been suspended.
She said she was reporting the abuse to both Twitter and police.
Lawmaker Claire Perry, from Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative Party, likewise retweeted a string of message including threats of sexual violence and one that read, "please disappear into obscurity and/or alcoholism. or die, whatever."
"I am tempted to shut down my Twitter account given the trolling going on incl. to me ? but that would be giving in," Perry tweeted.
Perry has been advising Cameron on his plans to introduce an "opt-in" system for blocking Internet pornography.
The abuse to Criado-Perez sparked a huge outcry among Twitter users and prompted more than 60?000 people to sign an online petition demanding the network introduce a "report abuse" button and review its rules on abusive behaviour.
Twitter has introduced a report button on tweets in its iPhone app and plans to bring it to other platforms.
But some users say the form to which it links is too complex and time-consuming for those receiving a barrage of abusive tweets.
In a blog post titled ?We Hear You?, Twitter said on Monday: "We are not blind to the reality that there will always be people using Twitter in ways that are abusive and may harm others".
Del Harvey, senior director for trust and safety, wrote that manual reviewing of all tweets was not possible as 400?million of the 140-character messages are sent each day around the world.
But it said it used both automated and manual systems to assess reports of users violating its rules, which bar "direct, specific threats of violence against others".
Police on Sunday arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of sending malicious communications to Criado-Perez, whose banknote campaign culminated Wednesday in the announcement Jane Austen would feature on the ?10 note from 2017.
The Bank of England had previously announced changes that would have left Queen Elizabeth?II as the only woman represented.
Concerns have been raised that a quicker "report abuse" function on Twitter could be open to misuse by those wishing to silence other users.

Here is our living room before (well to be honest part way through because I only remembered to take the picture after we had pulled the sofa and got the dust sheets at the ready!)
Whilst this was drying we painted a couple of tester pots of paint onto various parts of the wall, to see what the 2 colours we had narrowed it down to would look like in different lights. Wanting to keep it close to the flower colour on our wall paper we chose to go with Duck Egg.
So after carefully masking, the areas that needed masking we set to work painting the ceiling and coving white (using paint we already had) and then painting the walls Duck Egg. As the living room is a high traffic area and the children are still young we chose to go for Silk paint. Meaning that it can be wiped clean if necessary.
We repeated this process to put the curtain holdbacks up.
The final part of our effort to change the look and feel of the room was to put up a picture frame we had been meaning to hang somewhere for a long time. Again, because of the plasterboard walls this does restrict a little. However we have found a really great product that makes hanging pictures really easy!
We also hung a white wooden heart onto the wall in between the window and the wallpaper and I think that looks great.?
Our room now looks like this...
Totally different and really calming. We also turned the sofa around so that it didn't block out so much light (it was against the window). I love that we have made it personal with the photo frame and also that just by putting up some curtains and a lick of paint its made the room look so different!
So this was our total spends:
Curtains ? ? ? ? ?- ?12.42 (These were a bargain as should of been over ?30!)
Curtain pole ? ?- ?6.78
Hollow fixings - ?6.99
2x holdbacks ?- ?7.98
Paint ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - ?11.99
Picture Strips ?- ?3.39
Wicker Heart - ?3.99
Total ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??53.54
Ok so I came in at ?3.54 over the ?50 budget, but its still an amazing transformation for only just over ?50!! Do I think I have succeeded with the challenge, YES!!! I set out to change the look and feel of the room and we have definitely done that! I feel so much happier sitting in our front room now, its a nice, cozy, welcoming room. Rather than a room that I was quite fed up with and embarrassed about!
