Video Zeta Inventory - Sex Ed Films

 

They're not fooling anyone. The "education" aspect is just a sneaky method to get away with showing sexual content by cloaking themselves in the protective mantle of being an education film. They may seem like legit, well-intentioned documentaries, but we know better.  They are all wolf-in-sheep's-clothing, but some are just better at disguising it than others.


So, here's a running list of these sex education films:

1967




 1968


This one from Germany takes a more serious (less exploitative) approach; notable for featuring Karin Schubert.
