"Sex Madness", directed by Dwain Esper, is a 1938 sexploitation film (along the lines of "Reefer Madness") supposedly to deal with venereal diseases, specifically syphilis.

Wild parties, lesbianism and premarital sex are some of the forms of "madness" portrayed. The "educational" aspect of the film allowed it to portray a taboo subject which was otherwise forbidden by the Motion Picture Production Code of 1930.

The film has fallen into the public domain and can be freely downloaded from the Internet Archive.

It has been reissued under many titles, including "Human Wreckage", "They Must Be Told", and "Trial Marriage".
