The ABC of Love and Sex: Australia Style (1978) watch online HD

The movie was cut down by 3 minutes and 36 seconds to pass the Australian Censorship Board prior to theatrical release. According to the website 'Refused Classification', "in March 1978, a 2387.2 meter (87:01) print of The ABC of Love and Sex: Australia Style (1978) lost 98.7 meters (03:36) before being awarded an R-rating. The reason for the cuts was 'indecency'.".

Maj-Brith Bergström-Walan of the Swedish Institute for Sex Research received a 'special appearance' credit.

Notable colourful puppet animation sequences book-end the picture.

In John D. Lamond's next film Felicity (1978), characters in that movie go and see at the cinema The ABC of Love and Sex: Australia Style (1978).

Director John D. Lamond initially intended to make Felicity (1978) after Australia After Dark (1975) but due to financing and development problems with Felicity (1978), The ABC of Love and Sex: Australia Style (1978) got made first instead, with Felicity (1978) being made after.

About one fifth of the film, the more explicit sexual content footage, was actually filmed in Europe in Sweden, and not at all in Australia.

The film was re-issued in cinemas on a double-bill with director John D. Lamond's next picture Felicity (1978) which it also played with at Australian drive-ins.

The film was promoted as being "A Modern Manual of Love and Sexuality" and "A Joyous Lesson in Love, Sexuality and Sensuality".

The producers of the film, such as John D. Lamond, provided a warning and a disclaimer on Australian movies posters for the picture. It stated: "IMPORTANT! We, the Producers, believe that this film should be seen by all Australians of mature age but we advise that some members of the community may be offended".

Leotard-clad dancers were used in a few dance numbers in the film to jazz it up and choreograph it in certain parts.

The film was inspired by and influenced by Sweden's earlier Ur kärlekens språk (1969) [The Lanuage of Love], and its sequels Mera ur kärlekens språk (1970) [More About the Language of Love], Kärlekens XYZ (1971), and Kär-lek, så gör vi: Brev till Inge och Sten (1972). Maj-Brith Bergström-Walan, of the Swedish Institute for Sex Research, appeared in the first three of these Swedish educational skin-flicks, as well as being involved in this Australian version of the above, The ABC of Love and Sex: Australia Style (1978).

The made-for-DVD short documentary about this film's director John D. Lamond, Confessions of an R-rated Movie Maker (2004), appears on both Australian DVDs for both Lamond's Felicity (1978) and Pacific Banana (1980), as well as on the Lamond double bill DVD of Australia After Dark (1975) + The ABC of Love and Sex: Australia Style (1978).

This adult documentary was director John D. Lamond's second Mondo cane (1962) style doc after his first Australia After Dark (1975) though this time was more in the vein of a Swedish sexploitation pic.

1970s Australian movie posters for the film asked a number questions. These included: "How much do you know about your own sexuality? How often should we make love? How many methods of contraception are there? Is masturbation harmful? What is erotic? What about homosexuality? Lesbianism?"

Australian movie posters for the film boldly declared: "NOBODY UNDER 18 ADMITTED".

The film features no credits for the crew roles of composer, costume designer and sound recordist according to Scott Murray in the book "Australian Film 1978-1994" (1995)

Scott Murray in the book "Australian Film 1978-1994" (1995) states that "no character names are given in the credits" for the picture.

The script was written over the course of three weekends.

The dialogue for the gay party sequence was improvised.

John D. Lamond let his wife participate with him in the casting sessions for this film.

Katie Morgan actively campaigned to prevent the theatrical release of this film in Australia.
