<em>Masters of Sex</em> explores sexuality

Beverly Hills - Actor Michael Sheen said there's so much sex depicted on a new TV drama series about researchers Masters and Johnson that filming it became boring.

Sheen plays William Masters opposite Lizzy Caplan as Virginia Johnson in Showtime's Masters of Sex.

The series, about the couple's groundbreaking investigation of human sexuality, debuts 29 September on Showtime.

Virginia Johnson died last week at age 88 in St Louis. She was divorced from Masters, who died in 2001.

Sheen made his comments on Tuesday to a meeting of the Television Critics Association in Beverly Hills, California.
