If I believed in hell...
I'd surely be going there for being sooooo amused at this.
I was just treated to the beginning of this video...
"The ABC of Sex Education for Trainables" (1975, 20 minutes): This is the flip side of all those sex education films directed at children. This well-meaning short teaches teachers how to handle sex education for "retardates," or the developmentally disabled. Narrator Richard Dix offers the term "trainables," in the hope that these educational methods might work. Why should we teach trainables about sex? Just watch the opening scene, where a Ron Jeremy look-alike lures a retarded girl into his car. Teachers can learn how to list a dozen words for penis without laughing, talk about wet dreams with a "calm and accepting" manner, and explain intercourse. The lessons also cover social skills and avoiding sexual exploitation. Directed toward educators, this short tends to be quite graphic compared to the others on this disc, and it tries very hard to take its subject seriously. Nevertheless, it comes across as very surreal.
Trainables? oh, my
