When I talk about some facts which occured when I was a boy or young man, I am talking only of my personal experience or what I have learnt by friends or by reading newspapers or magazines or by watching newsreals in a movie theater, I don't try to say what was real or not in the United States.
If like "Ted" is telling, there were a very few sex education or hygiene films available for boys and girls at schools, it was certainly possible that some films of the army produced by the army authorities and used normally for new recruits were also used at schools, why not if they were the only ones available and nobody found them too undecent to let girls see them in mixed classes ?.
It was certainly not the common rule but I presume that it happened sometimes, more at high schools than middle schools in my opinion but I can be wrong.
If Ted had noticed the name of the armed forces at the beginning of a film, it might be true.
I guess that it was embarrassing since they were normally not supposed to be seen by girls !
"Ted" What do you mean by " the girls were treated to some exceptional sights to see "
It was a special schedule for them, not the same as yours ?
What was your age and grade at that time ?
But after, you said that later at 7th grade in health class, you saw those black and white films which were very graphic and that time you were in a mixed class to see the films and you found it rather embarrassing ? why was it so embarrassing if they were mainly graphic ?
And you said that since no other films were available, they used them without thinking to your embarrassment because male nudity was not an issue but female nudity was defineatly a no -no.
I can understand that since it was almost the same in France for the ideas about nudity of both genders but it seems to me that in France exposing males in the nude frontally with genitals and balls exposed wiould have been considered as undecent, so I am quite sure that if it was not practiced, it was more because of that idea about what was undecent to show to girls than to respect the dignity of young men ?
And I think also that it was one thing to show young men in the nude even frontally, genitals and boys exposed, and to show how they masturbated and ejaculated. I doubt that all parents had agreed about films shown to their daughters where young men were masturbating or ejaculating ?
