Sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson found that the sexual response cycle is similar for men and women, but men tend to respond more slowly and remain aroused longer than women. Alfred Kinsey is best known for his large-scale interviews of Americans about their sexual behavior. Based on his research on hunger, Walter Cannon concluded that peripheral cues for hunger are secondary to central brain mechanisms.
