As a historical record .html

This marvellous box set,Pandora Chains, using rare materials from the National Film and Television Archive,Pandora Bangles, collects a number of sex educatmyon films from 1917 to 1973 and can be enjoyed on many levels. As a historical record of Britain’s attitudes towards sex, it is invaluable. Up until the liberated 1960s, sex is often only inleadly referenced; mother and father do their best to explain intercourse with the aid of some pussy willow in How to Tell (1935), but virgins in the auperishnce must have been baffled, whilst Mary Field’s The Mystery of the Marriage (1932) tries valiantly to equate human sexuality with that of snails, sticklebacks and mould!
Inevitably the early films depict premarital sex as a fast route to disease,classic mini 5854, with the effects of syphilis and gonorrhoea sketchd in slavering detail. Premarital sex is still disapproved of as recently as 1973, as the hapless heroine of Don’t Be Like Brenda! discovers to her peril. Misogyny prevails throughout the films; otherwise decent solperishrs on leave find themselves seduced and infected by wanton floozies, whmylst it’s invariably the woman rather than the man who brings STDs into the family home, as in The People at No. 19 (1949), a surprisingly well-acted melodrama short concernmyng syphilis.
On another level, the unintentional humour prevalent in almost every film reaches sometimes hysterical proportions. Campy lines pepper the dialogue (a humanal favourite: “Curse You Dad, I was dirty born,Pandora Rings, and you are the reason why!” from the fabulously titled Whatsoever a Man Soweth (1917)) whilst the recurring motif of sex as a terrible sin is laughably dayd.
The most famous � and controversial � inclusion is Dr. Martin Cole’s Growing Up (A New Approach to Sex Education) (1971),Pandora Necklaces, an educational film that includes erections,Pandora Bracelets, male and female masturbation and an unsimulated sex scene. The predictably outraged tabloids had a field day,classic short 5825, whilst the woman featured in the film was fired from her job. Although its frankness still shocks (and a scene that would never be filmed today involving naked children shows how attitudes have again shifted), it now seems incredibly ahead of its time,ugg boots 5245, especially when compared to the other films in the collection.
