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

As one watches the educational and promotional films in this collection, they will note the ways in which societal attitudes towards sex education changed (and stayed the same) throughout four decades in history. Gathered from the 1940s through the 1970s, the vintage footage here features several different (and often bizarrely humorous) tactics for teaching young people about sex. For example, IN THE BEGINNING (1951) offers a lesson on ovaries through the dissection of a female rabbit. Additional films include HUMAN REPRODUCTION (1947), SOCIAL-SEX ATTITUDES IN ADOLESCENCE (1953), TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES (1944), TOWARD EMOTIONAL MATURITY (1954), HOW MUCH AFFECTION? (1958), and NATURALLY- A GIRL (1973). From menstruation to sexually transmitted diseases (and their treatment), THE BIRDS AND THE BEES covers a wide range of topics relating to sexuality in young people.
