All language subtitles for 1965 - Chained Girls

Who and what is a lesbian?

Is lesbianism a disease or a natural
occurrence?

Is lesbianism reserved for only a few
people or is it a common happening?

How do lesbians live?

Are they happy with their lives?

And how does society accept them?

These are only a few of the questions
that are asked by professionals trained

study this complex problem.

We will make no attempt to answer any
question.

only to discuss them.

Female homosexuality had its origins
dating back in time to the ancient

Sappho, a famous poetess of Greece, is
alleged to have founded the love cult of

lesbianism, which derives its name from
the island of Lesbos, of which she was a

native.

According to history, Sappho was known
to have been a woman lover.

Sappho was a brilliant poet, and her
poems became world famous.

The girls with whom she fell in love
were named after her and called Sapphos.

They became the first disciples of her
love cult.

Many of Sappho's poems were written for
girls.

She would, in some of her poems, ask the
goddess Aphrodite to help the poet in

her relation with a beloved girl.

In one of her poems, The Dye, Sappho
writes, From Scythian wood they brew

the dye whose yellow hue turns gold the
lovely hair of lesbians fair.

In another love's banquet she says,
Grant me this, O Kypris, and ever

I will bring thee many gifts for thy
altar, doves, a tender kid, and the drip

of rarest lesbian vintage.

Medical reports and several well -known
authoritative books on the subject of

lesbianism tell us that there are all
types of lesbians.

The masculine stereotype known as the
butch or dyke in many variations.

The bull dyke, the stomping butch, and
the baby butch.

The baby butch is usually the confused
teenager who's not sure of what she is.

Science tells us that for every type of
creature who walks the earth, there is a

counterpart. And so it is also true with
the butch. In this case, the feminine

counterpart is known as the femme, or
doll.

Regardless of whether butch or femme,
the majority of lesbians, though they

might slightly modify their dress or
hairdo, are indistinguishable from the

majority of women with whom one would
naturally associate.

Lesbians, like their male counterparts,
the homosexuals, are found in many

professions and master many skills.

They're found in the publishing,
modeling, and theatrical fields.

They're also found in many arts and
science fields.

Again, they're also found to be truck
drivers, teachers, cabbies, nurses,

engineers, clerks, and secretaries,
representing an impressive cross

life.

Lesbians are usually overly discreet in
their methods of fighting or courting

others with the same desires.

However, like everything else, there are
the exceptions.

Wherever girls and young women are to be
found in any number, it is quite

possible that lesbians can be found.

The modeling business is one of these
places.

Many of the girls who are models are not
necessarily lesbians.

In some cases, it's the photographer
who's the lesbian.

The dyke will try to get as close to her
girls as possible without arousing

suspicion.

She does this until a model comes along
who will respond to her advances.

Quite often, the boundaries of female
homosexuality are so vague that women

into lesbianism without realizing that
they're lesbians.

It has often been said that lesbians
make strange bedfellows.

Cultured, sensitive, refined women,
fearful of exposure among their own

patronized, dingy, dirty, off -the
-beaten -path bars and clubs in search

love that could satisfy their never
-ending yearnings.

It is not uncommon for a well -known
personality

to pay pickups for the pleasure of their
companionship for the evening.

Lesbians have a problem in adjusting to
a society that is condemning them for

being lesbians.

Many teenage lesbians are prostitutes
and drug addicts.

There are countless number of mature
women who seem to have found happiness

the love of another woman.

Many lesbians have their own special
vocabulary.

The phrase coming out indicates a
lesbian's sexual debut.

Being gay denotes female as well as male
homosexuality.

A straight is a heterosexual and a
swinger an object of admiration.

The following statistics were compiled
from medical reports.

Society has a very great problem in its
understanding of the desires and needs

of its unmarried women.

Dr. Freud stated, homosexuality in
women, which is certainly not less

than in men, although much less glaring,
has not only been ignored by the law,

but also by society.

Lesbians are not nearly as promiscuous
as male homosexuals.

Their meetings with others is held in
the strictest confidence.

The lesbian is on the constant lookout
for a partner with whom she can live and

love in a so -called normal life.

Few lesbians find anything that
resembles this life.

Some couples have stayed together for as
long as four and five months.

It has been said that some have lived
together for as long as ten years.

Many, of course, last but a few days or
weeks.

And some dykes pride themselves on
immediate conquests, derived out of one

-night stands, as this dyke is about to
do.

Thank you.

There are a multiple number of factors
responsible for the development of

lesbian patterns in women.

Family discord, alcoholic fathers,
separations and divorces, neurotic and

psychopathic parents, sexually
maladjusted parents, to mention a few.

Psychiatric examinations have shown that
lesbians had fathers who were

psychopathic, alcoholic, or tyrannical.

Many fathers have often made the mistake
of telling their daughters that they

wish they'd been born a boy instead of a
girl.

In other cases, a growing daughter's
attitude towards members of the opposite

sex may be influenced by the character
of the father, especially if he proves

be a poor example of what they think a
father should be like.

Some mothers are also responsible for
the influence they cast over their

daughters. Some mothers instill a fear
of sex within the daughter.

They refer to sex as something evil.

Of course, there are many cases where
the daughter is further handicapped if

parents neglect to give her any sex
education at all.

Being misinformed about the facts of sex
is equally harmful.

There are many occupations that are
conducive to the development of

This, however, is not meant to imply
that most women engaged in a certain

profession are lesbians.

Lesbians, in many cases, choose an
occupation which brings them into closer

contact with members of their own sex.

such as the theater, nightclub work,
modeling, women's prison, secretaries,

so forth.

Many young girls of high school and
college age find companionship among

own sex and often share the same rooms
on campus.

Women are constantly striving to prove
that they're equal to men and also are

fighting to be independent of them.

Today, women are found deeply involved
in politics, medicine, sports.

Today's women are more career -minded
and tend to shy away from the domestic

wants.

It is not uncommon to find a woman cab
driver.

or bus driver.

In some countries where there's a
shortage of men, women are in the armed

services and are doing the fighting and
dying for their country.

Ads in newspapers and on television
depict the women as inclined to smoking

drinking. This may be considered a form
of psychic masculinity.

Women are sensitive and highly emotional
creatures, and because of this are

easily frustrated.

If this frustration is caused by a man,
a woman could become more susceptible to

lesbian advances.

Love and attention are important facets
to a woman.

When they're deprived of love, they're
apt to find refuge in the company of one

of their own sex.

Jealousy among lesbians is a common
happening.

This is in keeping with their emotional
immaturity.

Usually the aggressive lesbian becomes
jealous of her feminine passive partner.

This jealousy is evident of the
lesbian's sense of insecurity.

The following are actual statistics
compiled from medical reports.

In noting that the lesbian is capable of
a high degree of jealousy, it must also

be noted that there is a high rate of
suicide among women, and this is

attributable to their homosexual
desires.

The suicides are usually the result of
the frustrations that are built up

the lesbian for her desire of another
woman's love that is not always easily

obtainable. We will discuss this problem
a little later.

Marriages are not uncommon among
lesbians.

In her hope to establish some form of
permanent relationship, the lesbian

attempts to simulate heterosexual
marriage.

Rings are exchanged.

They draw up mutual wills favoring one
another.

The wedding is held in an atmosphere
resembling a heterosexual service.

The services are usually performed by a
male, in many cases a homosexual

himself.

Guests are invited, dykes and their
femmes.

The services are usually brief, in which
they vow to love, honor, and cherish

one another until death.

The death usually represents the point
where one lesbian leaves the other for

some other love.

The lesbian marriage life is usually a
short one, lasting from one night to a

couple of weeks.

Some have been known to last for several
months or even several years, but these

are the rare exceptions.

Aside from purely lesbian marriages,
there are cases of marriages between

and homosexuals.

There are various arrangements which
they agree upon before embarking on

marriage. In some cases, they decide to
offer each other companionship, agreeing

not to attempt relations, each one
retaining the right to do as he or she

pleases about their private sex life.

Marriages to homosexuals seldom succeed.

Where the marriage does survive, It is
more the exception than the rule.

There are many cases where lesbians
marry and stay married, even when the

marriage proves to be unsatisfactory.

It is not difficult for the lesbian,
being the passive member of the

to stay indifferent.

Staying at home, she can make friends
among other housewives without raising

suspicion.

Lesbians, the possessors of an abnormal
jealousy over their femmes, sometimes

get very upset and sometimes get very
violent.

when another dyke makes advances in the
wrong direction.

The dyke will fight, in some cases to
the death, for the affections of her

femme. The femme is always flattered
over this show of affection and usually

encourages the dykes to fight.

Once committed to lesbianism, the
lesbian seldom shows the same guilt

that the male homosexual shows.

The following are statistics compiled
from medical journals.

Society has a very great problem in its
understanding of the desires and needs

of its unmarried women.

Dr. Freud stated, homosexuality in
women, which is certainly not less

than in men, although much less glaring,
has not only been ignored by the law,

but also by society.

In a fashionable part of town, several
dykes were getting together for the

purpose of planning a party.

This one would be a very special party,
one that would bring new faces in and,

most of all, a coming out party for a
new girl.

A girl makes her coming out only once in
her life.

She'll be introduced to the other femmes
and will meet the dykes.

In most of the cases, the new girl has
only had very limited relations with a

lesbian and is looking for a closer
association.

The new lesbians, as well as the older
ones, are always on the lookout to find

somebody they could love or love them.

This is a struggle that never ends.

That homosexual components lie dormant
in every woman and could, under certain

conditions, find release are
substantiated by federal prison records.

The number of sex -starved women who
submit to homosexual relations as a

of their confinement within prison walls
is much greater than is supposed.

A fair percentage of all women inmates
is made up of those who've been

apprehended by the police on charges of
prostitution.

In other words, prostitutes who are
deprived of their heterosexual relations

because of prison walls now give way to
their hidden desire for homosexual

cravings, find themselves...

literally in a haven that is made up
exclusively of members of their own sex.

The hostess of the affair was a woman in
her late twenties who's been a dyke for

the last 16 years of her life.

Even when they think and live like men,
lesbians for the most part generally

enjoy the chic look of womanhood.

Because her homosexuality is easily
hidden, the lesbian mingles very

within the bounds of society.

But it is in affairs like these that the
lesbian can relax and feel her true

self.

The guests arrive one at a time.

The hostess is very efficient.

It's all important to have everything
running as smoothly as possible for the

convenience of the new girls coming in
and for the dykes to be able to move

around and select a femme for
themselves.

Parties of this nature are kept in the
strictest secret. Fearing exposure, the

lesbian is often at the mercy of
everyone.

At work, or wherever she may be, she's
always susceptible to blackmail.

Discovery, in most cases, could mean
instant ruin.

Lesbians have their variations from one
group to another.

There are those women who are cultured
and refined who sneak away to some dirty

bar in order to meet a trampish -looking
woman to make love to.

Some women break up homes, forsake
children for the love of another woman.

Then there are the teenage lesbians, or
baby butch.

They roam big city streets in large
gangs, assaulting everyone who falls

their path.

Some of the weapons that they use run
the gamut of fists, lead pipes, chains.

Many of these girls eventually end up as
alcoholics, drug addicts, and

prostitutes.

Regardless of what the lesbian does or
where she goes, her life is a very

difficult one.

The lesbian must always be on the alert
and avoid detection.

She, like her male counterpart, leads a
very lonely and despairing life.

It is a fact that the suicide rate among
male and female homosexuals is very

high.

A lesbian making her debut within her
own society reacts as any other girl

when she's doing something for the first
time and knowing that she'll be in the

spotlight and possibly the main
attraction that evening.

The dyke is telling her how to behave in
front of the others and how to act like

a femme.

Initiation rituals might vary from one
affair to another.

At some affairs, the evening would be
spent in drink and general talk.

While at some other affairs, it was
quite different.

The bull dyke enters the affair,
followed closely behind by the femme,

make her initiation into the daughters
of Lesbos.

The butch and the femme are completely
different in appearance, yet many

lesbians feel that this dissimilar role
were easily interchangeable.

The fact remaining is that the butch of
today could become the femme of

tomorrow.

When the reverse is often possible,
records show that there have been many

butches who have actually become
feminine in manner.

And some have apparently returned to
normal femininity.

It is virtually impossible to tell how
many lesbians there are in the country.

However, lesbian vacation paradises are
well known to the more informed.

Fire Island.

the California beaches, the tropical
islands of Jamaica.

On Long Island, they have the Hamptons.
And the New York City set have Reese

Park. The international set always have
Paris, Rome, Switzerland, to mention but

a few.

This gay party was worked out in a
manner that would allow the guests to

mingle together, or singly as they
chose, in an atmosphere of privacy.

These girls chose to develop a slow
relationship before getting down to the

serious lovemaking that all were here
for.

This type of play was a form of teasing,
a way of stimulating their inner

senses.

The introduction room, as this place was
called, would allow them the privacy

that was needed in order for them to
play this game.

It was at times and places as this that
the lesbian was allowed to feel her true

self without worry of detection.

It was here that she found her love and
contentment.

The bull dyke was at her best when she
was working to make a femme.

Not all bull dykes succeeded in their
attempts, so the going had to be slow.

The ultimate conquest for the dyke would
be to have the femme become dependent

on her.

In this case, the dyke would support his
femme.

In a more literal sense of the word, the
femme would become the mistress of the

dyke.

The dyke, as records show, are very
dominant and possessive and extremely

jealous people.

The femme and her desire to break away
from the grip of the dyke often found

this an almost impossible task.

A strange occurrence happens when a
lesbian has to turn to prostitution in

to keep her female lover.

The Johns that normally pay $50 and $100
for the privilege of love would pay an

additional $50 to be with a lesbian.

The logic being that the men were highly
stimulated to think that they were able

to draw a response from a woman who was
known to be indifferent to men.

In prostituting herself to finance her
woman lover, the lesbian finds it ironic

that it's a man's money that's paying
for her pleasure with a woman.

Men unknowingly sometimes use lesbians
as procurers for them.

And in many cases, the lesbian usually
samples the girls before she turns them

over to the man.

It is not uncommon for a lesbian to do
what she hates most, prostitute herself

to a man.

It is also not uncommon for a prostitute
to turn in moments of despair and

loneliness to the warm, soft arms of
another woman.

Many lesbians, as a rule, are heavy
drinkers.

Some are alcoholics.

At parties such as this one, girls are
trying to escape from reality and

drinking usually helps.

Young dykes will always try to get their
femmes high on drinks.

They become more responsive with a few
drinks in them.

These affairs as a rule take place on
weekends.

so as to last for several days.

After the party is over, these girls
will all go back to their daily jobs,

as clerks, secretaries, hostesses.

The lesbian looks upon her job as a
means of contact with other girls.

Lesbians are always on the lookout for
new recruits.

After a few drinks, the dyke has been
able to get the young Deb in a receptive

frame of mind.

Being a new experience for the Deb,
she's not sure what will happen to her.

Suspense and excitement are usually
built up in her.

But she dares not say or ask anything,
fearing that they might not want or

accept her as one of them.

So she's willing to wait it out and
accept what comes.

After some drinking, the girls decide to
split up, each couple going their own

way, each dyke...

planning what she will do with her
property, the femme.

The kitchen is not an unfamiliar place.

It is the femme's duty to take care of
the house, cook and wait on her lover,

the dyke.

Many lesbians have at one time or
another been married, and for the love

another woman, forsaken their homes and
families.

Some lesbians remain married to their
male husbands, and when the opportunity

presents itself, leave home to go to
their female lovers.

Though many lesbians marry and have
children, others who never marry feel a

strong maternal void.

There are many sacrifices that a lesbian
has to make, and one of them is the

fact that she can never bear children.

Lesbians, being women, pass through the
childbearing years.

And even though she might carry on in
lesbianic harmony, she often regrets

there are no children in her life.

The dyke is a very selfish person.

She's out to get all she can, and as
often as she can.

The dyke often takes unjust advantage of
the young femme.

After feeding her drinks all night, she
becomes very receptive to the dyke's

suggestions and advances.

There have been cases where the
inexperienced femme developed guilt

was ashamed of what she had done.

However, this is not always the usual
case.

School girls of all ages are not immune
to the society of the daughters of

lesbos Girls on many a college campus
live together share each other's

talk about their dates discuss many
mutual problems their likes and dislikes

They spend more time together than with
anyone else.

Often these girls find consolation and
sympathy within the warm touches of each

other. Some girls, after leaving school,
also leave their lesbian loves behind.

Others continue in leading a life of a
lesbian.

The dyke is always the dominant figure
among lesbian groups on the school

campus. For as the saying goes, for
every dyke who walks the earth, there is

femme for her.

Some girls freely talk about their
lesbian habits, while others would

before admitting their lesbianism even
to their closest friends.

Even among lesbians that they can trust.

Some never reveal openly what they
really are.

Many lesbians don't want to think of
themselves as lesbians.

During the course of the evening, the
party had reached a peak.

The dykes had all assembled in the main
conference room.

The purpose of the meeting was to reach
a decision on what to do with the young

dead.

Each dyke had her own ideas of what the
initiation test should be.

But only one suggestion would be used.

A vote was being taken on the
suggestions.

And the straws were being drawn.

to see who would carry out the
initiation as decided.

The dyke had sufficiently mellowed the
young Deb for her ordeal. Still not

knowing what she was about to undergo,
went willingly upstairs with the dyke.

The decision finally being reached, and
the dyke to carry out the initiation

picked, they all left the room ready and
eager to assist if necessary.

The dyke and the young Deb enter the
bedroom, and the suspense begins for the

Deb.

The dyke is in no hurry.

She is all evening, and the Deb has no
place to go.

At times like this, every dyke is out
for herself.

She would like to be the first one to
initiate this young girl.

It would give the dyke great
satisfaction if she could be the first

The young Deb, realizing now what
they've worked out for her, begins to

fear.

She tries to escape.

That doesn't work.

Desperately, she fights.

But the dice are too strong for her, and
eventually she's overpowered.

Moldyke will now do her work.

The Dyke never feels remorse or shame
for what she has done.

To her, it's another conquest, one to be
remembered for a short time and then

forgotten.

Soon the party will be over and she'll
return to the heterosexual world that

so violently rejects, a world that she
must constantly be on the guard against,

a world and its male inhabitants she
must pretend to accept.

A world that, if it discovered her true
identity, would turn against her and

destroy her.

The path of a lesbian is truly a hard
and lonely one.

A few, if any, ever find what they're
searching for.

True love.

Someone that they can love and who will
love them.

A love that will last them the rest of
their natural lives.

Not all lesbians are masculine in
appearance and personality.

Many of them are feminine, married and
have children.

Their marriage is a cover -up for their
lesbianism.

As long as human beings are interested
in their own sexual satisfaction, there

will always be inverts.

The following are some important
statistics in the study of lesbianism.

The problems of the male and female
homosexual are of a complex nature.

There are answers to these problems.

And these answers can only be found
through competent medical advice.

Society as a whole is responsible for
this ever -increasing social problem.

It is therefore up to us to be
understanding and forthright in our

help those in need of it.

Lesbians can be cured if they show a
strong desire to be cured.

They cannot cure themselves entirely.

Sound medical treatment and advice is
necessary to effect a permanent cure.

Medical authorities state that
lesbianism is a symptom that affects the

personality.

Treatment is aimed at changing that
personality structure.
