I had to watch a puberty video from the 1950s to learn that a full bladder can give an erection. I had had that happen and it was confusing and no modern sex ed taught me that.
There was genuine effort in trying to bring out the best in our youth. That shit is gone now. Nowadays I imagine a modern sex ed vid is telling children they can cut their genitals off
i’m in high school and this is literally changing my entire perspective 💀 like what? why are 1950s psa teaching me more seld respect and confidence in relationships than any thing else in my life
Because contemporary society is centered around indulgence of vices and dopamine chasing. I feel for young people today, and I only went to HS in the 2000s
Something to think about. Maybe start to give traditional values a chance. Look at our society today and you know there is something seriously wrong in how families and relationships fall apart constantly. The sex revolution created more divorce, more broken homes, and hurt the children most of all
Yeah that's what you would think with all the lies the Dems made to force their creepy sex education changes. Trust me there was sexual education before the Dems made it immoral and disgusting.
Jf Mc Well, that also varies by state my friend. many conservative states push abstinence, but it is proven abstinence stressed education does not work. it does not teach the new generation the tools of what they need. That is why there are more teen pregnancies in states with abstinence only education. 37 states require abstinence be taught in their curriculum, but only 18 states require birth control to be apart of it. 13 states have sex education that is required to be medically accurate. Which I find ridiculous. The dems have not done enough, buts that is only my opinion. I am sure there is still more sex liberation to come. The people who made this video were probably more on the open minded side for the fifties. Please do not think you are telling me facts when we can see videos from around same time about the same subject that are not as open minded and actually probably harmful for the veiwers. You might have watched these kinds of things when you were growing up in the fifties, but does not mean that everyone in america did. I hope you have a lovely day (and I do mean that)! Just find time to relax in these turbulent times. There are probably people who love you, so make sure they know you love them. 💗
@@ccings27 , Wow you sound like a brainwashed moron who searches google for confirmation bias. I wish you goodluck trying to figure out which bathroom to use!😆🤣 🙄
Jf Mc and you sound like a brainwashed conservative who uses facebook for all of their research. I have peer reviewed papers to back up my claims, what do you have ? conspiracy ? i was trying to help educate you and I was being nice about it. you are a mean spirited person, but karma will catch you. Good luck trying to use the bathroom, you’ll probably forget how to soon :(. if you have any actual facts to back up your statements, i would love to hear them.
It took me a long time to understand this, because in today's world casual dating is not a take-it-slow affair: in the 1950s, casual dating was a way to have company and learn about the opposite sex without as much pressure to get physical. Dating one person leads to heightened emotional intimacy, and thus to a greater likelihood of sex. We risk developing chemical and emotional bonds, either with the wrong person or simply too soon. Dating a variety of people was encouraged to lessen the chances of this. What does this wisdom teach us? Wait. Wait to have sex. Wait to open up emotionally. Don't be afraid that you'll miss out - the right person will be the one who thinks you're worth waiting for.
I haven't dated in forever simply because I feel there's this constant pressure of when is the sex going to start and it makes me super uncomfortable feeling like I owe some guy I barely know sex. Nope. 🙅🏻 🤷😂
I like the Groucho Marx voice-over on that Dad. My Town never had sex education in the late 1960’s and I didn’t hear about masterB until I was 17. (no brothers no cousins) Through facebook now I find out my Jr High neighbor boys were “messing around” in the woods, all the time. I was mowing lawns and doing homework, I was never “invited.” A good thing I didn’t get aids, half those guys are dead!
Contrary to the SJW propaganda of MSM and atempte indoctrination ofpeople by te state many mothers still do. It a matter of "Yes its fine for other kids to be homosexual but not mine".
@@daurinunez8 actually it was. In 1890, the term lesbian was used in a medical dictionary as an adjective to describe tribadism (as " lesbian love"). The terms lesbian, invert and homosexual were interchangeable with sapphist and sapphism around the turn of the 20th century.
Touching among the same sex was common back in the day. It showed affection, comradery, care for one another and conveyed emotions at appropriate times. There was nothing homosexual about it.
This is amazing. This was nine years before I was born, and somehow my mom told me that they "just didn't know" back then? I was shamed constantly. I was punished for sharing a drink with a boy at a Valentine's school function in grade 5. I was prohibited from dating until I was at least 16. I was told that sex was terrible, but wasn't really told "about" sex. My parents ran down every friend and boyfriend I ever had. I wound up being very promiscuous and had many failed relationships. I am so impressed at how these parents talked with their children!
this is a film that is fantasy. Real life parents did not behave like this. Back in those days no parent talked to their kids about sex. Your parents knew what was in store for you, and tried their best to steer you away from sex, but it didn't work and it never will work. Teens are going to fuck! And that's just what you did. And of course you're going to have failed relationships, because most young people are attracted to each other on the most superficial basis. Young people are not looking for any true qualities in a partner, they are looking for someone who excites them. This is how you chose on the men your life and how those men chose you. AND that is just how nature is! Nature doesn't give a damn about your happiness or your fulfillment....nature wants your to procreate, to breed! Breeding is the sole reason why all life on this planet exists.
My dad had the sex talk with me 3 months after I started having sex. He didn't know that. My mom never once tried to talk to me about sex. Yes, we knew where babies came from because of a medical book we had. I never felt I could talk to my parents about who I was dating without being judged.
I was born in the fifties and these parents are not representative of typical parents. Most were embarrassed to talk to their kids about anything related to sex. These subjects were off limits.
If you marry your first cousin yes you will have babies thst atr crazy. My father had a cousin like that and their son is an idiot. I mean he is as crazy as the day is long amd two of the sisters are all dead now
Yeah, I kinda took a girl away from a guy at a bar like that. She was from Australia, but it sounded like "Brazil" what with the music an' all that. Never learned her name. Nice girl.
It’s a shame how many parents nowadays even don’t talk to their kids about sex or puberty. I got almost no info as a child, and I learned everything my own on the internet and through books. My family was very religious and pretended sex didn’t exist.
my fam believes in God but only a few of my fam members show that they do through their actions also I've known were babies came from since I was 7 before my mom's mom told me were babies come from but I wouldn't know about the period part if she didn't sit me down to tell me the whole thing (also I don't remember walking in on my parents and I've known before I saw dirty R rated movies and shows on TV too so what I thought was that "God put that knowledge in my head" and I would ask myself "but for what reason?" Lol!) (also I'm using my lil bro Eli's tablet right now my account is Madison W)
To be honest, I feel Bob & Mary had wonderful, supportive parents. Kids need that so much! They did an excellent job teaching them about development. Thank you for this great video. I love these types of things. They are very informative.
When I was a kid, I saw a teenage couple kissing at school. My oldest sister tells me, that boy just wants to get her pregnant. So from there I thought that that's how women got pregnant. One time a boy in school came and called my name and gave me a quick peck on the mouth. I went home crying in my room thinking I was going to have a baby. 🤦
I'm dead serious when I say that I had major anxiety that I was pregnant at 10 years old because I loved eating pickles. The fear was real! I didn't even get my period until I was 15. Certainly hadn't kissed a boy at age 10. I was a middle child of 7 so nobody even thought about talking to me about ... anything important.
This was a page right out of history! I love the way this nurtures the idea of healthy relationships with the opposite sex and explains the ups and downs and the need to experiment and get to know the opposite sex. My parents would have been 5 years old when this was made. My Grandparents would have been about 24 or 25 years old on my Dad's side and about in their 30s and 40s on my Mom's side. I think this perfectly explains their ideas about sex. My parents were conservative, but they allowed me to date when I was 16 and made sure I was educated at home, school and church about sex from the physical, spiritual and emotional aspect of it. Getting pregnant as a teen was OUT OF THE QUESTION and dating a guy with the wrong type of morals was also out of the question, though I did experiment with that and they were right, that was a bad idea. Now I have my own teenagers who aren't the least bit interested in relationships at this time. To be honest, I cannot blame them. Really things have become far to shallow and awful. My husband and I have a great relationship though. They already know they are living in a different world that might not have the same things to offer as we did.
Why, babies are ordered through the Sears Baby Catalog. It takes about six weeks for the baby to arrive by USPS, sooner if sent FedEx or UPS. And remember, "Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back." Just return the baby within 30 days in the same condition as received. Upon receipt of the baby, you will be promptly refunded.
Conservative married woman are most sexually satisfied according to statistical data on the subject. Conservative has only been twisted into meaning stale, ignorant, uneducated, mean, and boring. Conservatives recognized life for exactly what it was and didn’t deny anything found in the natural functions of human beings. They celebrated sex, marriage, work, play, robust relationships, and family- only in their proper place. Now Progressives and Conservatives certainly differ on the “proper place”, but I’d think if you’d show this video to any Progressive person today, they’d reel back in horror.
@@lewisedwards4058 yea I think the sad thing is that when combines with overly religious and toxic Christianity it became taboo and oppressive which in both the biblical aspect and seen here wasn’t supposed to be the case. U aren’t supposed to be scared of sex just have to be cautious and smart
@@cassandrarudolph1307 Cassandra, by saying 'fuck' you have just lost any chance of a '50s lifestyle. I was born in '54 and fuck was NEVER said in public, only when talking to friends privately. In fact, all swearing was stigmatized thus never heard in public. But privately, we cussed to our heart's content!
My Nan (grandmother ) was born in the 20s. She showed me a photo of herself at 18...I swear she looked 30, it's the hairstyles of that time period I think.
For a decade that was supposedly puritanical and sexually repressed, this was not what I was expecting at all! Teach them about biology very young, encourage them to date around for experience, same-sex crushes are not unusual..... It all seems far more free-thinking and enlightened than I would have expected of that time period!
@@abcdefg2174 Oh yeah, that's why there was no sexual revolution in the very next decade, because society was already open and tolerant! The 20s were more accepting...
Does it make wonder what other beliefs you have are actually wildly in accurate? Why is it that most peoples understanding of the past is so twisted and wrong? 'He who controls the past, controls the present. He who controls the present, controls the future'
Not only do I enjoy watching these old films so much, but this one in particular being so open and positive about sex and being able to experience in relationships made it one of my favs so far. I teared up a little and couldn't stop smiling by the end at the sigh of Mary and Bob being so wholesome and complete in each other 💜🌼 Wonder how many teens watched it when it was new and thought to themselves "One day, I'm gonna find a love with someone, just like it. One day, it'll be my turn"
No offense (I mean that really), but to think this is anything but outdated to the social norm of today that includes social media is a far-cry to the what needs to be taught today. Social norms as that evolve need education that should evolve also.
@@mvmishler I'm not offended, on the contrary- I agree. I also don't like this hook-up culture that's around today and all the shallowness social media is promoting. We simply aren't made out for that and you can tell by how exhausted and disappointed young people are with it all😵💫
@@mikezylstra7514 Even in the fifties women commonly went to the gynecologist well before the wedding night to break the hymen and be coached on having a pleasant first night.
It’s really quite basic and even half ass, it’s skips over and is quite vague about the important stuff. Nothing really outstanding unfortunately. Sex education is sadly still very behind in most places
@@poetcomic1 not most. And Women did have sex before marriage and women’s health was terrible back then. Mormon and Christian women still do this today and still usually quite surprised and let down the first time. A quick trip to the gynecologist is not enough preparation for sex- especially back then! Most of them Did not have a pleasant first night!!!
Honestly, out of all of the 1950's videos that I've seen, this may be the best. It actually seems helpful and informative for both parents and teenagers. Kinda wish I would have watched this one when I was just beginning to date. It sets a very realistic sense to what you want and what you learn to want and how to tell the difference of perspective
I didn’t understand the concept of loving someone for their qualities until my second marriage. Was just selfish and interested in a partner based on what they do for me and how they make me feel. Now I admire my husband and everything is very different. Wish I would’ve been taught that from a young age. About looking for a partner based on the kind of person you like not just what they do for you
This is insane! You have this belief of the 50s as a sexually repressed time with an unhealthy attitude towards sex but this video seems to negate that. I wonder who was the intended audience for this video
back then life wasn't based on some stranger who you only hope they are who they say they are behind a screen people were more honest to an extent back then as well im 27 but i love to learn about old ways of live and depending on where you look some little towns might still have that but its far and few between in 2022
Hahaha, when my son was a teen I warned him.. "if you do not clean your room, I will." It wasnt spotless but it wasnt a fire hazard. So glad my son turned out to be the man he is now...bi, into cosplay, open to different outlooks, a perfect geek ♡ and solid in himself
I enjoy watching these old videos. I’m glad that someone found them, and upload it onto RU-vid. Also I wonder, if it was easy to get a date back then? It sure looks fun going on dates during the 50’s.
I just turned 70 this month (July 11, 1953). I grew up with this philosophy. I believe it was a healthy way to live. I think families that are started in this way, with God as a guide, have a better chance of happiness. 💕❤️💕
We are in the beginning of the labor pains of the apocalypse, God made clear the devil’s last and worst attack would be at the nuclear family just as it began by destroying Adam , Eve, and God’s marriage. I have to say , we need Hope and Faith for true love and family more than ever
This film implied that most high school sweethearts eventually married each other, which may have been actually true up to and through the early 1950's. But today, few people meet their future spouses in high school. In the early 1950's, most first-time grooms were 21 and most first-time brides were just 20! Today, most first-time brides and grooms are around or even older than 30.
And to think my grandmother gave birth to my mom in the early 50s and even on the point of labour thought the baby came out her belly button. Her parents kept her so foolish. It was traumatic for my grandmother.
@@linnyhajnalka4393 Not far fetched. You had to be there. And, btw, ever seen a bellybutton on a woman 8 1/2 pregnant? It looks like it might be the exit if you didn't know better.
My mom had my brother in the mid 70's and thought the same up until labor. She's from a conservative Mexican family and my grandmother even had rules about keeping dolls and Barbies dolls completely dressed at all times. My grandmother had 16 kids and each time she went to the hospital, she'd tell her kids they were leaving to go get coffee lol. So naturally my mom grew up knowing absolutely nothing about sex and babies
My Dad told about watching this movie in High School. His teacher then said sex was only for the purpose of having children and must only occur during marriage. My Dad, forever the smart alect, said "Yes, and that's why your a sour old lady who hasn't ever scored." Dad was of course thrown out of class that day but he said the counselor couldn't hold a straight face as he "counseled my Dad on his behavior". 😏😏
I was taught to be ashamed of myself for wanting to be myself. Ashamed to want sex, ashamed to even think of sex. And it destroyed so much of my life. My parents totally failed me. They taught me that any love was good love, ignoring my values. My parents failed me.
Well this is a video for a sex education class, so it has to be informative. That stereotype is unfortunately still true. Not sure where or what age group this video was shown but many ppl then and now had terrible sex ed
When we were dating in high school my future wife's curfew was 11 P.M. I brought her home once at 3 a.m. She had to explain to her folks that we had slept together in the car. Literally. I was holding down an evening job and was so exhausted that making out I fell asleep and she didn't want to wake me, soon she fell asleep too.
I was born in 1963, parents never told me anything, Jackie magazine was a mine of information. After having two sons I’ve made sure they know everything, never felt embarrassed telling them and they’ve never had to rely on the Internet for information. I’m not saying they’re perfect. I’m sure they’ve done a bit of their own research (so to speak) but there was nothing that was off topic during their formative years. I loved both of my parents (who have sadly now both passed away) but they were never able to discuss personal stuff and I never wanted my own kids to go through that.
Sadly, 1940’s & 1950’s the Tobacco Companies GAVE AWAY samples of their products even to High School students. There are reports that they KNEW smoking cigarettes & “dipping snuff” could be dangerous to your health, but PROFITS mattered more to Executives & Stock Holders😢
@@ritadaniels3175 The vets in VietNam were fed cigarettes as well courtesy of Uncle Sam. The pot and hash was courtesy of the Vietnamese and the environment itself. Primo growing conditions.
I'm not sure what world you're living in to think teenagers don't know what books are, reading is still very popular! And I don't think all teens in the 50s were reading classic literature for fun either, many were reading trashy magazines and dime-store romances. Every generation somehow forgets the way they were stereotyped by their elders, and how frustrating that was, and they fall into the same patterns and start to think of the younger generation as degenerates just because of superficial differences...
From what I understood the expectation was to date and socialize with those of the opposite gender to increase the chance of obtaining a good husband. But sleeping around was not encouraged although I'm sure some broke that rule. From what my US History teacher told me it was seen as odd and issue to be shy around boys and not socialize.
Dating was different back then. They mostly abstained from sex until marriage. Dating around was to get an idea of the type of person you liked without getting so closely bonded with sex and living like you are married that years pass before you realize the other person wasn't for you. In a way, I wish I had grown up in a time like that.
I had a very conservative upbringing. I was taught that sex was only practiced by aliens as a tool for conquering the universe. Watching this helped me understand what sex is really about. Thanks for posting.
Just because Mary’s parents are worried doesn’t mean Mary can’t do anything right in their eyes- she’s a kid and learning everything for the first time. They don’t begrudge her for making mistakes, but it’s their duty to make sure they guide her in the right direction when they see her going off course in the normal teenage way. Bob on the other hand needed a father figure to straighten him out big time. His poor mom couldn’t get to him because they were so different by that time. Sure, they were close when he was 10- but now he’s a grown man practically. I’d of gotten the coach to talk to him if he was a decent man.
I agree! But kids today would make such a huge mockery of this because it is not hip or gangsta or vulgar enough. Yeah, they ridicule the '50s but I am sticking with '50s morals and I won't apologize for it.
If I ever have a kid I think the talk would be one of the things I’d dread most. I didn’t even have the talk from my parents. I learned everything from the internet.
@@tundrawomansays694 What's bad is that my buddies were as clueless as I was. Then when we got in high school (1968 for me) the 'big boys' filled us in on the wonderful details!
i’m crying and smiling. I wish I could saw that at my school time because instead of learning right social-sex attitudes I was drowning in misunderstanding and emotional foolness at that time.
Usually these videos are kinda corny, but this is actually really nice. I wish everyone thought so carefully before getting married. But I know this was a different time
Funny how they chose to depict a “normally developing adolescent male” as someone who’s already referring to girls to his buddies like they’re cars or livestock…
@@MrTruckerf yes. I still get them sometimes. The mind is very powerful. Most girls at some time in their life have a sexual dream and the orgasm wakes them up
I half-expected to hear him say, "After years of constant reprogramming, Mary fully suppressed her identity as a Lesbian, and began to date boys. And not in the Radio-Carbon way -- ha ha. Taking a heavy drag on a cigarette, Mary began to think once again about her girlfriend as she 'rubbed the elf', a term her mother used for self-gratification. This was to ensure that she would only date men, but still have a healthy outlet even when she had to fake it for her eventual husband." Right? You have to read it in the narrator's voice.
