While the official voorlichting films shunned romance, Dutch television in 1991 had several shows that did combine relationship education with emotional storylines.
In 1991, the Rutgers Nisso Groep (now Rutgers) produced a 35-minute film titled Liefde Zonder Ongelukken (Love Without Accidents). It is the closest match to the search term.
Plot outline:
Two Dutch teenagers, Maaike (16) and Tom (17), have been dating for three months. The film follows their decision to have sex for the first time. Scenes include:
Why people remember it as romantic:
Unlike other voorlichting films, Liefde Zonder Ongelukken used actors (rather than doctors) and a sweet, melancholic piano soundtrack. The final scene shows Maaike and Tom lying in his bed, clothed, talking and laughing. No nudity, no clinical close-ups — just intimacy.

Recently, while digging through the dark archives of the "fullgolkesl" corners of the internet (the land of VHS rips and lost media), I stumbled upon the infamous 1991 edition. Watching it as an adult is a jarring experience. But what struck me most wasn't the outdated hairstyles or the clinical diagrams. It was the attempt at relationships and romantic storylines.
Spoiler: It’s awkward.
Here is the disconnect that the "fullgolkesl" generation (those of us who found this tape online 20 years later) can’t get over.
The Intended Lesson: Relationships are built on communication and mutual respect. You ask for consent. You giggle. The Visual Reality: Two people sitting three feet apart on a bed, maintaining eye contact for 45 seconds without blinking, while a narrator with a very serious voice describes the "vochtige slijmvliezen" (moist mucous membranes).
