EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Description
This DVD is a good reminder that while attitudes towards teenagers and sex have changed with the times, the cold hard facts of life and sex have stayed the same. No matter what age we live in, teenagers are going to go through some very confusing and embarrassing changes and adults are going to have to find a way to help them understand what is going on with their hormones and their bodies. All of the films on this DVD were shot around the 1950s and are remarkably straightforward. We often think of the 1950s as an era that was very conservative when it comes to sex, but these films make the case that when they had to be parents and teachers could be pretty direct on the subject. That isn’t to say that some of the clips are not amusing when looked at through the lens of time. The opening clip starts out talking about white wedding dresses and then descends, for example, into a conversation about menstruation. That said, other clips on this disk pull no punches. It’s definitely worth a look at all of the films as they are in very good condition.

A Good DVD For Parties by Deacon (America) 5 Stars
April 27, 2006
This DVD is amazing simply for the irony value. Remember those crazy sex education videos they showed you in high school. That's what these are. The tracks get more and more ironic as they go on. What I did with the DVD was put it on in the background at a party and as we got more wasted we just could not stop watching it and cracking up. I think the funniest is when they tell the girls not to kiss boys or they will get pregnant and have to quit school. We howled with laughter. I could easily see these things played in the background at a hip club or something.

Man alive, things have changed in 50 years. If you tried to show these films about to teenagers today, I think they would think you were joking. This DVD is a bunch of sexual education films from the 1950s and were meant to be shown to high school students. Aparently parents were convinced that if kids did anything more than kissing they'd end up unemployed, pregnant and working in coal mines. I hate to think what these parents would think if they had to meet today's teenagers and deal with their problems. It's impossible to watch these films without laughing. I'd buy them as a "gag gift" for a birthday party.

Sex Education: The Birds And The Bees! (2-DVD Set)

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...
