anti-porn film

George Putnam, one of L.A.‘s best-known TV news reporters in the 1960s, delivers a sermonizing lecture on the dangers of porn.

Check out this ultra-campy educational film from the 1960s about the rise of pornographic culture.

Money quote: “We know that once a person is perverted, it is practically impossible for that person to adjust to normal attitudes in regards to sex.”

(h/t: BoingBoing)
