Watch Sex Madness

Sex Madness is one of several documentary style movies, commissioned by the government in the late thirties. The "educational" claims of the film, allowed it to show a subject that was considered taboo. The film centers on a young man named Tom, a burlesque dancer named Shelia, and two secretaries, Peggy who is a lesbian and Betty who she is trying to seduce. Sheila has syphilis, but doesn't care, and gives it to Tom at a house party. Her friend, Millicent, has syphilis, from a casting couch incident. She marries and gives it to her new husband.
