“Using SexSmartFilms helped me open conversations with clients I never thought possible. It’s a game-changer.” — SCU Graduate

Yes, some older films show their age, and that’s intentional. These rare gems offer a powerful lens into the evolution of sexual understanding, helping you reflect on how far we’ve come and what still needs to change.

How to Watch Like a Sexologist: The PPPP Method

Dr. Schoen developed the PPPP Framework to help you turn passive viewing into transformational integration that you can guide your clients through.

Here’s how it works:

  • Preview: Watch first. Get familiar with tone, content, and potential triggers.
  • Purpose: Define your why. Are you exploring identity, trauma, communication, or something else?
  • Present: Set the container. Offer context and content notes to foster safety and curiosity.
  • Process: Reflect together. What stood out? What challenged assumptions? What’s shifting?

When used with intention, media can become a catalyst for insight, integration, and lasting transformation.
