From the Director
If ever there was a historical DVD that has contemporary implications, this is it. It’s funny to think that back in the 1950s, parents and schools were having the same debates about sex education that we are today. These films, all made for in-school educational purposes, are a collection of the wisdom on teen sexuality that parents wanted to impart to their offspring in the fabulous ‘50s. Sometimes funny, at other times touching and even a little silly, these clips are a fascinating voyage into a past that it not so different from our present.
What it reminds the viewer is that teens were just as confused about their bodies and relationships 50 years ago as they are today. Of course some of the attitudes seem a little dated – one clip features a story about whether a girl should go "necking" with her boyfriend - a quaint worry when today we discuss whether condom usage should be discussed or not. Other films are timeless – including a sensitive film explaining menstruation to girls in their early teens. Overall this is a pretty timely collection of film clips.

Wow Things Have Changed,
This review is from: Sex Education: The Birds And The Bees! (2-DVD Set) [2007] (DVD)
Watching the kids in these films, it's possible that some of them really did think they were magically created. These "educational" shorts were made by the governement in the 1950s in order to scare teenagers away from having sex. They feature teenage characters who seem to have never heard of sex itself - they worry about whether kissing is "going to far!" I can only imagine that even back in the 1950s the kids watching this laughed as much as I did after I popped it into my DVD player.

Good Family Values,

This review is from: Sex Education: The Birds And The Bees! (2-DVD Set) [2007] (DVD)
Now why can't they keep showing films like this to kids today? You hear about all these new sexual education programs but everything chidlren need to know is right here.When my grandchildren get older I'm going to suggest that they watch these films which teach the importance of love and honor and chastity. This is the type of movie everyone shoudl watch when they are growing up. It's not that complicated. 1 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Don't Abstain,

This review is from: Sex Education: The Birds And The Bees! (2-DVD Set) [2007] (DVD)
This DVD deserves five stars for it's tagline alone, "But I thought I came from a stork!"Watching the kids in these films, it's possible that some of them really did think they were magically created. These "educational" shorts were made by the governement in the 1950s in order to scare teenagers away from having sex. They feature teenage characters who seem to have never heard of sex itself - they worry about whether kissing is "going to far!" I can only imagine that even back in the 1950s the kids watching this laughed as much as I did after I popped it into my DVD player. It just goes to show that parents have been in dennial about their children's sex lives forever. |
