Denmark was the first country in the world to decriminalize visual pornography in 1969, and several sources indicate that Danish feature sex films were exported widely in the 1970s. Yet our knowledge of the international distribution of these films is very limited. The overall argument in this article is that instead of relying on a wide variety of scattered sources, it is possible to provide consistent answers by limiting the selection of data to one main source. In this case, the reviews of the Danish sex films in the British periodical Monthly Film Bulletin. Although the choice of data in some respects limits the scope of the research, this approach offers credible information on the Danish films in Britain and indicates that the reception of the films was connected to certain recognizable imagined, national traits and an overall discourse of Denmark as a ‘sexy’ nation
