ACCORDING to Lesley Doswell, all men are tarts.

At least, that is the title of her sex education film that will soon begin circulating around all Swindon secondary schools.

As a concerned mum-of-three and amateur video production artist, she decided it was time to inject some humour and drama into sex education at schools.

The 41-year-old from King William Street, Old Town, started the project two years ago while her children were still at Greendown School.

The 10-minute film was launched this week at the University of Bath in Swindon

It stars a host of former Greendown pupils, including Lesley's son, Brad, who is the main character.

The film attempts to put a different slant on sex education, as it leaves the boy holding the baby. Following unprotected sex, the girl in the film becomes pregnant, but finds she cannot cope with the baby and leaves it on the boy's doorstep.

Lesley said the film showed that men have to take responsibility for the consequences of sex as well as women. She said: "It was made by young people, for young people.

"The enthusiasm and enjoyment they showed in making it will, I am sure, make it far more enjoyable for young people to watch and learn from.

"As a mother of three teenage boys, I realised that sex education at schools was not engaging them they found it very boring.

"What I've tried to do with this video is include singing, dancing and a very strong comedy element.

"It is not patronising, because it's on their level. The film includes a bit of a twist and makes them think about responsibility.

"But I deliberately left it fairly open at the end, so it leaves room for classroom discussion."

Lesley obtained some funding for the equipment she needed from Cre8 Studios, but did most of the project by herself.

The film will circulate in Swindon schools, but Lesley is hoping it might become a resource around the country. She said: "I feel it's really important, with so many teenage pregnancies these days, to have a drama-type focus on sex education."

Last week, the Evening Advertiser revealed how parents of Swindon children will be asked to back plans to make free contraceptives available in schools.

Schools may set up on-site health clinics in which pupils who want advice on sex matters can be given condoms or advice about going on the pill.
