"Sexual Freedom in Denmark" is another one of those sexploitation documentaries that were everywhere in the '70s. It has the typical bugbears of this type of film: a monotone narrator providing often useless information, and an awkward, totally un-sexy interviewer, who in this case looks like Vladimir Lenin.

The interviewer does provide an amusing moment when he visits the set of a porno flick and sits on the couch with a bunch of naked women to interview them about their work. He couldn't look any more out of place in this setting if he tried, underlying the central problem of this bizarre choice of host for a movie about sexuality.

The movie bombards you with shots of photos from porno mags, and also shows actual sex in a variety of positions. It also features the most graphic, harrowing childbirth footage I have ever witnessed, wrenching a baby feet-first from its mother's vagina, the infant's body bending like Stretch Armstrong.

Not sure if I'd really recommend this flick. If you want something for educational purposes, surely there'd be better stuff out there. If you want it for campy '70s throwbacks, you'll probably be bored most of the time.

I suspect most of this footage began as a classroom film about sexual reproduction (likely aimed toward medical students) with some added footage spliced here and there to re-market it as an X-rated exploitation film. The movie starts out as an alleged documentary about Denmark's newfound permissiveness toward premarital sex and erotica in the early 70s. There are in-the-street interviews, scenes from a nightclub, pictures of adult magazines, and a visit to a porn movie set. All of this is a reasonably amusing setup. But what quickly evolves is more a clinical look at sexuality, complete with endless charts, discussions of cultural attitudes, details about pregnancy, birth control and venereal disease, and even a filmed live birth--all described by an unseen, monotone male narrator without any hint of passion or excitement. Disguising erotica as education was an old school exploitation trick. This one is essentially more an educational film disguised as erotica. There is some good information contained within, but modern audiences would be hard pressed to find it particularly entertaining.

This movie is about the morality, education, and responsibilties pertaining to sexual freedom. Not only that, it has the most amazing child birth sequence that could and should be used as a training tool and viewed by anyone that is interested in the miracle of child birth. This very insightful movie should be shown in school sex education programs internationally along with material already being presented in that forum, and is and all around must see for anyone deemed mature enough. It is a great introduction to various pertinent aspects in the sexual arena. It's delightful!
