Synopsis:

Sex Sells, well so a good friend of mine told me and I guess it does because it keeps coming back. In cinema it was there right from the start and as morals eased around the end of the First World War it began to appear more and more in the plot lines of film. By the 30's society was beginning to worry about it's youth so what better way to redirect them than to encourage the cinema to do the educating. Unfortunately some directors saw this as an opportunity to make grubby little sex films and add a moral to the ending. THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. Oh! the horror, sexual diseases, pregnancy, unmarried mothers, homosexuality and prostitution. Lucky for us there were some constructive films which saved our generation. Here are some of them.

Sex Madness (1938)
Philanthropist Paul Lorenz is one of the more public faces in the fight against behavior that spreads the many 'social diseases', such as syphilis and gonorrhea. An example of such behavior is going to or performing in burlesque shows, which promotes casual sex. Indeed, many in the audience at one burlesque show in New York have only sex on their mind, including young unmarried couple James and Jane, office colleagues Peggy and Betty (Peggy who is trying to seduce Betty), and Paul Lorenz's son himself, Tom Lorenz, who is looking forward to an after show group sex party, which will include some of the girls from the show, such as Sheila Wayne, who has syphilis but treats it as casually as her sex. One of the show girls who won't be attending the party is Millicent Hamilton. From a small town, good girl Millicent's pre-engagement to her boyfriend Wendel Hope was interrupted when she won a beauty contest with a trip to New York. She found life in New York more difficult than she expected and a sexual encounter associated with trying to advance her show business career resulted in her also contracting syphilis. But Millicent is going to respected Dr. Hampton, who informs her that she can fully recover and eventually marry Wendel if she takes the slow, intensive but proven therapy. But when she leaves New York for home which means therapy with another doctor, Dr. Hampton warns her to beware of quacks who may promise a full, expensive miracle cure. When Millicent heads home, will she heed Dr. Hampton's advice, or will she fall prey to the hope of a quick cure so that she can marry Wendel sooner?

The Wild and Wicked (1956)
A girl visiting her sister in Hollywood hopes for a modeling career, but is tricked by pimps into working at a brothel.

Boys Beware (1961)
Young Jimmy accepts a ride home from a friendly stranger, Ralph. Jimmy likes Ralph. Ralph likes Jimmy. Ralph REALLY likes Jimmy. Ralph likes Jimmy so much he persuades Jimmy to go to a motel with him. In the motel room, Jimmy decides he doesn't like Ralph THAT much. Ralph has other ideas.

Damaged Lives (1933)
An extramarital affair leads to a young couple contracting venereal disease.

Gambling with Souls (1936)
Young girls are cheated in rigged gambling games and then forced into prostitution to pay off their debts.

How Much Affection? (1957)
Social guidance film that covers the topic of 'going too far' while dating.

Test Tube Babies (1948)
Test Tube Babies is a 1948 exploitation film known by several titles. Directed by W. Merle Connell and produced by George Weiss, it is a narrative about artificial insemination with scenes of nudity and sexual promiscuity included.

Child Bride (1938)
Schoolteacher in a rural community campaigns to stop the practice of older men marrying young, underage girls.

What Makes a Good Party? (1950)
Three teenage girls decide to throw a party to introduce their college-student friend Steve to the crowd. However, instead of just calling up friends & inviting them over--a bad idea, according to this film--the party must be organized to the last degree, with everything from refreshments to entertainment planned out in exacting detail (spontaneity is no fun, apparently). On the day of the party, a good time is had by all because of the 'planning and skill' exhibited by the girls while setting up the party.

Sex Madness (1938)
This sex exploitation film includes wild parties, sex out of wedlock, lesbianism, etc. After going to a 'casting couch', a chorus girl contracts syphilis. The film then focuses on the effects this lifestyle and disease have on her marriage.

The Wild and Wicked (1956)
The exploitational The Flesh Merchant purports to be the case study of two prostitutes. Joy Reynolds and Lisa Rack play the ladies in question, pontificating on their chosen profession while gamboling about in the briefest of undergarments. Mariko Perri and Guy Manford co-star as the main men in the girls' lives. Typical of its era, the film stops short of actual sex scenes, though little else is left to the imagination.

Boys Beware (1961)
Boys Beware is a drama short propaganda film released through Sid Davis Productions. It deals with a perceived danger to young boys: that of predatory homosexuals

Damaged Lives (1933)
Although venereal disease was considered as delicate a subject then as it is now, this was nonetheless the third filmed version of Eugène Brieux' 1901 play Les Avariés, known in English-speaking lands as Damaged Lives. Don is a shallow, naïve former ship's officer trying to make the transition to an executive position in the shipping company. He breaks a dinner engagement with his longtime fiancée Joan in order to make a night on the town with one of his company's clients. The client ends up drunk, and at the end of the long night Don ends up with Elise, a woman of dubious reputation who nevertheless lives in an impressive, Art Deco-styled apartment. Although he feels guilty about the affair, Don swiftly marries his sweetheart, only to get the phone call from 'the other woman' saying she must see him immediately. Elise confronts Don discreetly that she has given him the gift that keeps on giving, which he refuses to believe. Elise then promptly kills herself, but later Don gets another call from a VD clinic which is treating his wife. After a harrowing visit to a series of 'too-far-gone' patients, Don sees the light and agrees to get treatment. But the psychological effect on Joan has different results, and Don must rise to the occasion to save them both. Damaged Lives was initially released in Canada and a few cities in the United States but was stopped by censors in most American towns. In 1937 it was re-released as The Shocking Truth with a 29-minute lecture on VD added onto the end of the film to satisfy censors. Most current video releases do not include this extra material. A week after it opened, a competing domestic version of Damaged Lives also appeared, and with its similar storyline it is often confused with this Canadian film. There is no comparison stylistically, as Edgar G. Ulmer put far more into Damaged Lives than the property and its 18,000-dollar budget deserved.

Gambling with Souls (1936)
Mae Miller wants the finer things in life, luxuries that she feels her husband, a doctor, cannot provide for her. She begins to gamble in order to ring in spending money for herself, but winds up deep in debt. To pay her dues, she is reduced to the shame of selling herself.

How Much Affection? (1957)
How Much Affection is a McGraw Hill Text Film and part of the Marriage and Family Living Series. This short explores the relationship between teenager Mary and her boyfriend Jeff. When on a date, Mary and Jeff almost go 'too far' and Mary seeks the advice of her mother in dealing with relationships.

Test Tube Babies (1948)
A happily married couple has been trying to have a baby with no luck. They discover that the husband is sterile. Their family doctor suggests that they think about artificial insemination, which at the time was considered a scandalous choice.

Child Bride (1938)
Jennie is a twelve-year-old girl living with her parents in extremely rural mountain country. Her schoolteacher, Miss Carol, though a mountain girl herself, has gone off to be educated and returned in hopes of stopping the tradition of child marriage which permeates the culture. Jennie's father Ira is a good man who tries to protect Miss Carol from the men who threaten her if she doesn't call off her crusade. One of these men, Jake Bolby, has his eye on little Jennie and plots to make her his bride.

What Makes a Good Party? (1950)
It was my birthday, I was to have a party, but what the hell do I know about throwing parties? You go to a party, You get drunk at a party, You take drugs, get buzzed then wasted at a party. You listen to music and meet interesting people with whom you have mediocre, consensual sex at a party. No, you never, ever throw a party. 'Think of the mess,' You tell yourself. 'You don't clean-up, that's not You, that's what friends and neighbors are for. You are a born guest.' But I still had to throw a party. So, I looked for tips, asked around, shoe-shines, bar flies, and shadowy figures who smoked cigarettes in car parks. Then I googled it, and lo, there it was What Makes a Good Party?. I thought, I know this - alcohol, drugs, sex? No, I was wrong. What makes a good party is charades, conversation, dancing and a big smiley sing-song around a piano. Now you know. So, don't flick ash on the carpet, use the coaster for your drinks, and brace yourself for small-talk. You still want to come to my party? No? It'll be fun. We can do Twister.
