Vintage Sex
Education Films From the 40's, 50's, and 60's.
Complete 2 DVD Collection! |
| Sex education films have
been around for 50 plus years. Whether you feel they
are a valuable source of information for the country's
youth, or another way for the government to indoctrinate our
children, you cannot deny their existence and place in our
pop culture. During the half century since they have
been around, their content has generally been unchanged.
Even in current versions, they typically ignore the level of
sophistication and intelligence of young people. They
typically discuss the mechanics of sex, but little more.
If they do go into social discussions, it is usually on a
surface so thin, it will likely be of no value to the youth
in the audience. This is an
amazing and rare collection of old time sex ed films.
For those of you who grew up in this time, you could
probably hear the projector running in the background as you
watch the movie. This is a great collection for
educators, scholars, historians, and young and old people
alike. The older generation and remember a more
innocent time, while those who are on the younger side can
get some comic relief from these films.
This collection comes as a 2 DVD set,
that contains over 4 and a half hours of classic films.
All DVD's come with a fully interactive menu. A list
of films included is as follows. |
|
DVD 1 |
| Are You Popular (1947)
Teenaged Wally is attracted to
two girls. One is Ginny, the local "bad girl" with a
reputation. The other is Caroline, a sweet young thing who
is everything Ginny isn't. Wally would definitely like to
get to see if Ginny's reputation is deserved, but he is torn
between his lust for her and his attraction to the wholesome
Caroline. What to do, what to do
Sound, B&W, 9:52 |

| Are You Ready for
Marriage (1950) Two
teenagers, wishing to marry early, visit their minister for
advice and receive counseling, some of it quite pragmatic,
the rest a little strange. Teenagers Larry and Sue
visit an overly Bryl Creemed marriage counselor, Mr. Hall,
at their church to discuss the responsibilities of marriage.
Hall just happens to have an extraordinary display of
learning aids in his office, the most interesting of which
is a board labeled "Marriage Development" on the top and
"Psychological Distance" on the bottom. On the board are
little figurines attached with strings. To demonstrate the
fact that their sexual desires aren't enough to base a
marriage on, he takes a rubber band and says boing! (So much
for his so-called expertise) Then he snaps the rubber band
away and Larry says, surprised, "What happened to it?" Then,
Sue cries out, "Where did it go?" The film doesn't make any
great intellectual claims for this couple. Even though Hall
is at Larry's church, the religious aspects of marriage are
ignored in this film. Larry and Sue agree to postpone their
engagement and continue with their education (remedial, from
the looks of it). Sue's dad has "made arrangements" for Sue
to go to State U.

| As Boys Grow (1957)
Sex education film aimed at
teenage boys, with the coach as authority figure and
teacher.
Sound, B&W, 16:17 |
   |
| Boys Beware (1961)
Anti-homosexual film targeted at
teenage boys, urging them to avoid encounters with potential
molesters.
Sound, B&W, 10:12 |
   |
| Cindy Goes to a Party
(1955) Cindy, a tomboy
unsure of her social status, dreams of a party where her
fairy godmother gives her etiquette lessons, and wakes up to
receive her very own invitation. Filmed in Lawrence, Kansas.

   |
| Going Steady (1951)
Attempts to provoke teens into
discussion on the complex issue of going steady. Provides
little support for the practice.
Sound, B&W, 10:36 |
   |
| How Do You Do(1946)
Trains teenagers to act
according to the rules of proper social etiquette. Promotes
proper behavior as a means of gaining social poise and
self-assurance. This film seems clearly to be a document
from the postwar "behavior offensive," aimed at retraining
adolescents to learn to be kids once again after
experiencing premature adulthood during World War II.
Sound, B&W, 13:34 |
   |
| How Much Affection (1958)
How far can young people go in
petting and still stay within the bounds of personal
standards and social mores?
Sound, B&W, 19:48 |
   |
| Human Reproduction (1947)
Though this sex education film
concentrates on presenting the anatomy and physiology of
human reproduction in sober medical terms, its release
kicked off a controversy in many American cities and towns
over the legitimacy of sex education in the public schools.
The film is narrated from the point of view of an adult who
tries to decide how to answer his son's natural questions
about sex and reproduction. With excellent diagrams of the
reproductive process.
Sound, B&W, 21:24 |
   |
| Junior Prom (1946)
Experiences of two couples on a
double date at the Junior
Prom.
Sound, Color, 21:16 |

Menstruation education film for
young teenage girls, redolent with dated detail.
Sound, B&W, 14:20 |
   |
| Parent to Child About Sex
(1966) While this
film's 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.
Sound, Color, 30:41 |
   |
| Physical Aspects of
Puberty (1953) Animated
explanation of primary and secondary sex characteristics in

DVD format and quality
All of our DVD's sold are
formatted NTSC, without region coding. This means that they
will play on any NTSC DVD Player in the world. The standard in
USA is NTSC. For those in Europe, your DVD player may be a PAL
format, which will not work. For those overseas customers,
please verify that your DVD player can play NTSC disks.
Please note, that most of the
films on our disks were made 40 years ago or more. Some
perhaps as old as 80 or 90 years! As you can imagine, the
movie making equipment of the time was a lot more primitive than the
high tech equipment that they use today. Also, many of these
films were stored improperly for decades before being digitally
coded. As a result of this, these films are not what one would
consider to be "DVD quality" today. Many, if not most,
are black and white. The sound and picture quality is not
perfect. There are those occasional "snap, crackle, and pops"
across many of these films. We
feel that these imperfections add to a film's charm, and provide for
a more authentic viewing experience. WIth that in mind, this
collection may not be for those wishing to
find digitally remastered and professional recolored duplications of
the original work in perfect DVD quality. Please keep that in mind prior to purchase,
since we have fully disclosed that to you. |

Catalog Number |
| This
item is our catalog #J14. If you purchase another item with
this same catalog number, you will get two identical items.
Given this, we cannot offer refunds for customers who accidentally
purchased two identical disks without reading this auction fully. |

Questions and Answers: |
|
Why should I buy from you? There are lots of places to buy
similar stuff on ebay. What makes you so special? |
|
What separates us from the
rest is that we want you to be happy. If you're happy, you'll buy
from us again and tell your friends. Getting one sale from you is
great, but we want the next sale from you and the next one after that.
It isn't worth a few bucks to us to have one unhappy customer. If
you are unhappy, tell us and let us try to fix the problem. How
many sellers will say that? |
|
Yeah, so, there are lots of other sellers on ebay. Are you saying the
rest of them will rip me off? |
|
No, of course not.
But, beware of what people sell on ebay. Many sellers on here will
charge you an exhorbitant amount for shipping. Many will
"claim" to provide discount shipping only when you contact them,
they'll tell you they'll take a quarter off the shipping price for
each additional item. We never do that. Our combined
shipping policy is clearly spelled out for those to see. No
tricky or cheap discounts. Just Buy 3, Get One Free.
Simple as that. Also, when comparing our films to those of
others, take note of not only the price of the item, but also the
content. You'll see that we not only offer more films per
package then our competition, and not only at the cheapest shipping,
but also at the cheapest price too. |
|
I live in country ABC,
will your DVD work in my DVD player? |
|
Short answer, probably.
Long answer, it depends. There are two formats of DVD in the
world. NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the standard for the US and
I believe Japan, along with some other countries too. PAL is
popular in Europe. If you have an NTSC DVD player (all USA
customers), this disk will work for you. If you have a PAL
player, this won't. Also, many commercial DVD's out there have
region coding. Without getting in a long discussion on it,
none of our DVD's have any region coding, so that won't be an issue.
All you need to know is whether or not your DVD player is an NTSC
format. |
|
What if my disk arrives
damaged? |
|
We offer a no muss, no
fuss guarantee that all damaged disks are replaced free of charge. |

Please view our shipping and sales tax rules on our shipping and
payments tab above.
All items are shipped by USPS first class mail. In an effort to keep our costs down, that are passed along as low prices to you, all of our disks are packaged and shipped in economic sleeves and mailers. All of our disks are labeled with a clean label
and some graphics.
The disks are made this way for speed and cost, which translates
into lower cost for you. We focus our efforts on the quality of the

We believe you purchase for content, and ours is the best,
although we still believe you will be pleased with the
presentation.
PLEASE READ
ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:
The estimated delivery dates shown above are ebay's estimates,
not ours. Sometimes ebay's dates are completely
unrealistic. Every effort is made to get your item out the
next day, but once it leaves us, we ask that you please
understand that we do not guarantee delivery by any date, since
the USPS does not give us a guarantee either. Below is our
estimates on what to expect:
USA CUSTOMERS: Most times, your package will arrive in
about 1 week after we ship them depending on where you are at.
However, lately the Post Office it seems has not been very
cooperative with us and we've had a couple of customers wait a few
days longer than that. If the item does not arrive, please
email us directly and let us know, and we will make it right.
NON-USA CUSTOMERS: Same deal above, except your
packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship
them. We've noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been
waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments. The only
explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some
container in some dock waiting on customs clearance. It happens,
and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very
little we can do about that. Your disk will arrive or we will replace
it.
Multiple items purchased by the same
customer may or may not be shipped in the same package, at our
discretion. We do not offer any additional discounts on
multiple items other than the ones noted above.
Feedback Policy:
Please offer us a chance
to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any
reason by emailing us first with your problem. The only thing
we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they
give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad
feedback. If negative feedback is left without any prior
communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in
communicating and working things out.
If you run into
issues and wish to speak with us, we ask that you please refrain
from opening a request on ebay and email us directly by asking a
question first, and give us a chance to answer you before you open a
request!
If you have any questions
prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and let us
know. Thank you!!!!!!
