Wardell Pomeroy Takes a Sex History

About This Movie

So, 'Wardell Pomeroy Takes a Sex History' is a fascinating look into the world of sex therapy from the late '70s. Directed by Laird Sutton, it's pretty raw and unfiltered—Pomeroy himself guides you through the intricacies of taking a sexual history. The pace is deliberate, giving you time to absorb the nuanced approach he takes, which is refreshingly non-judgmental. That’s not something you see every day. What stands out is his rapid notation system; it’s kind of mesmerizing how he compresses so much information into a single sheet. It feels more like a conversation than a lecture, making it distinctive for its time. It's a unique slice of social history, really.
