Before our own pornography laws were relaxed, the US in the 1960s saw the import of many Swedish “sex education” films marketed to the “businessmen on break”/Times Square market. This led many folks to conclude that Swedes were the only people who could even make sex boring.

- Guess you recall that Robert De Niros character in Taxi Driver takes the lady of his dreams to watch such a Swedish educational film at a cinema?

Anyway, even though I haven't seen any such films in school or elsewhere, there were some other sorts of Swedish porn films made in those days that deliberately were not boring, but quite contrary made to make the audiences laugh.

The most famous one in this genre is Fäbojäntan/Blow The Horn.

However, the Danes made much more of these entertaining soft porn comedies, or what to call them (- most of the girls featured were very beautiful by the way). The Danish “Bedside films” have become rather popular among cinéastes;
