The ABC of Sex Education for Trainables  The ABC of Sex Education for Trainables is a 1975 short educational film hosted by Richard Dix. It was intended to inform people about the need to educate the mentally disabled ("trainables" as they are referred to in the film) about sex and sexuality. Reflecting the views held at the time, the film explains that "trainables" cannot learn in the same manner as those of normal intelligence, but must instead be trained through repetition. The 20 minute video places a high priority on teaching the intellectually disabled about sex so that they will not make inappropriate sexual comments, expose parts of their bodies, masturbate in public, be involved in unplanned pregnancies, or become victims of rape or molestation. It also notes that the goal of teachers should be to explain sexuality in a factual manner, and that views of sexual morality vary between families and should therefore be left for parents to teach. The movie is used in "Timmy and the Sex Lesson", an episode of The Residents' video series "Timmy". The onscreen credits acknowledge that narration was provided by Richard Dix and that dramatic sequences were provided by William Block, M.D., Beverly Camp, Rick Fullerton, Peter Green, Michael Kowalski, Ellen Moats, George Murray, Aaron Orenstein, Christopher Reidy, Murray Zeligman, and members and staff of the Ronald Bruce Nippon Assoc., and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania. In 2001, "DVD Talk" reviewed the Fantoma Films "Educational Archives" series, "Sex & Drugs", and noted "The ABCs of Sex Education for Trainables" as among those included, writing the film had the "impact of "Freaks"" and that it was intended to "guide teachers in mental institutions, who must try to train (not teach) those patients considered 'trainable', to know enough about their bodies and sex to neither be anti-social nor victimized in public." They commented upon the film addressing the issues directly by its showing "some very dedicated teachers taking on a really tough job." When they reviewed the DVD compilation "Educational Archives" "School Locker" in 2006, they made note that collections of educational films from Fantoma "included the best of the best in educational films", and that it was "hard to top marvels like "The ABCs of Sex Education for Trainables"," and that while this later compilation was not without merit, "it pales in comparison with the earlier releases."
