SexSmartFilms has evolved from my experience of more than thirty years producing programs for sexual health.

Back in the 1970's there were films for training sexual health professionals and others that were utilized by sex therapists and their patients. There also existed a small number of films for children and teens. Those had limited use because of their "controversial content." Then came the 1990's when the corporate world released sexual health films for adults that were advertised in popular magazines.

Today, there is a proliferation of sexual health content on the Web. The difficulty for many is distinguishing accurate information from misinformation.

It's the old story: How do you know? I read it in a book, so it must be true.
Or "As seen on TV", so it must be good!

SexSmartFilms will assure you of getting accurate sexual health information. Remember, films are simply educational tools that may be used to increase your sexual knowledge or clarify sexual information. In the ideal sexual health classroom, a film is introduced letting the audience know what they are about to see and what they might get out of seeing this film. After viewing, questions would be asked to give viewers a chance to process the information. SexSmartFilms will provide this context for the films listed. That is, there will be pre and post viewing suggestions along with a brief synopsis that includes the appropriate audience.

Here's to promoting sexual literacy.
