Sex Education Revisited...

We all remember that embarrassing classroom video instructing us in the broader brushstrokes of the facts of life. But how did films help our parents and grandparents discover where babies came from or the perils of STDs?
Running the gamut from syphilitic soldiers in WW1 to puberty pep-talks for girls to the government's infamous AIDS awareness campaigns, this jaunt through 90 years of sex education films aims to enlighten, entertain and, above all, encourage you to subjugate your passions for the moral health of the nation.
