Sex Madness

Vaughn Bell just reminded me of this film, which I haven't seen since an all nighter at The Scala in London sometime in the early eighties. 

I also learnt this rather astonishing bit of information from his post over at 'Mind Hacks': 

"...Before then, the most effective treatment was to be infected by malaria which would give you a fever so strong that the syphilis bacteria would die in your body due to the high temperature. The hope was that the malaria could be treated by quinine before you died from that. The discovery won Julius Wagner-Jauregg the Nobel prize in 1927."
