Parent To Child About Sex (1966)

While this films producers should be applauded for their sensible approach in teaching parents how to talk to kids about sex, the awkward reading of cue cards and embarrassing situations will produce nervous giggles among even the most jaded audiences. This film was produced by some of the pioneers of sex education whose ideas are still being challenged by school boards today.

Subject: Hmm, I hadn't thought of that.
I must admit I was quite surprised to hear that there was ever a taboo about unmarried women using tampons. How silly and sexist that is! Nice to know this film shot down that ridiculous notion!

All in all not bad really. Dated? Sure, but fundamentally true and quite well done.

Pretty well balanced and useful film for the 1960's parent. I'm guessing that it found it's audience amongst the more enlightened and preached, in the main, to the semi-converted; but then that's so often the way.

My only quibble is the way they associate male masturbation with nocturnal emissions; still alluding to the 'letting off steam' fallacy. In addition, we're given no alternative strategy to deal with toddlers playing with themselves. Agreed it's a natural activity, however society does frown upon it in public. So how do we convey that message?

The video is dated, but it still applies to children today. I think the previous comments are from people who spend too much time on youtube.com - they expect more entertainment rather than information. They're just a little less educated than us.

It's a great video.

Subject: Reviewers of film here are disturbed
I am amazed after watching this film, the negative comments that people have given in the reviews. You are just like the film participant parents in the beginning; you were taught that sex is bad, your body is bad, your genitals are bad, every ounce of talk about what is NATURAL is bad. I hope you rewatch this film again, and LEARN, and don't pass on your touchphobic, homophobic, poor upbringing to your own children. Don't mess up another generation of kids by making them think their bodies are bad.

Subject: Dry and dated
This film made in 1966 has a lot of information and good intentions, but it lacks a creative presentation.

I was hoping that this 30 minute piece about sex etc. would be more campy then chatty, but sadly I was mistaken. Although there are moments at the beginning which include rather Âhow did that happen? scenes with kids that are rather exploitive, and somewhat funny, the film just rather goes on too long and relies mostly on chit chat about sex to maintain interest. Liked the very end though, with the old womanÂs dress matching her hair.

Horrifying depiction of one's most awkward years.
All of the men figures are creepy and are probably in jail. And the old woman at the end is enough to scare the shit out of anyone from ever having sex!
Includes hot gay locker room scene.

LESSON: Watch more porn instead of asking 80 year old ladies how often you should whack it.

This would be a good film for MST3K. It's a bit dry, but then has scenes of children masturbating that could be construed as borderline child porn. The host reminds me of Count Floyd from SCTV. I expected him to flurl his cape and howl. Seriously though, this film was quite bold for 1966(I was 2 back then), too bad I didn't see it when I grew up.
