Tagline: "Love American style with a touch of X."
Parents in a small, conservative community don't think that the sex drive is a normal thing for children to experience. So much so, that they label education in that regard as a communist plot. The group of prudes is led by an impotent alcoholic and a gay policeman.
Plot
Parents in a small, conservative community want to ban sex education in schools, labeling it a Communist plot. However, the two people leading the charge against sex ed are revealed to be an impotent alcoholic and a gay policeman.
Critical reception
Roger Greenspun of The New York Times did not care for film at all:
... [T]here are ineptitudes and unrewarding obscurities enough to sink the movie... The movie it keeps trying to be, however, is an amalgam of social satire and sane sex propaganda and it succeeds with neither... time and again it comes to look like a series of blackout skits from the more inhibited edges of an exploitation movie.
