We knew we were both sleeping with other people, but we kept to the rules and never spoke about it. We had sex as always and the open marriage spiced things up — at least at first.

The three-minute video starts off with a description of the purpose of the video: “In 1957, William Masters and Virginia Johnson began asking men and women to undress for science. In 2014, we celebrate their groundbreaking research with 20 strangers undressing each other for fun.” First I channeled the creativity I would have used to become a mom into my sexuality, and then I channeled it into writing my memoir.
