making love in 1976

updated with more photos a few years back i picked up a book called making love. how to be your own sex therapist at one of my favorite used bookstores. it’s a self help book of sorts. a workbook. here is an explanation from the forward, “what does this book offer? in my view it fills an important niche… a tool for those who would like to examine themselves, take stock, and use the book as a kind of personal companion in exploring new worlds- inner worlds, sexual worlds...” i’d love to say it’s a good book but i’ve never actually read it. “so why did you buy it?” i hear you asking. well for the photos of course! for the funktacular, sepia, Vaseline filtered photos peppered throughout. i’ve collected some of the tamer images for your retro softcore pleasure below.

haha. yup. innocent 70’s filth. gotta love it. i especially like those shots of naked folks on a see-saw. there are a ton more in the book, and i suppose looking over the post now i ought to have included more… 8 photos do not a proper gallery make. perhaps i’ll add more if anyone wishes.

i’ve added 8 more images and realized i’d neglected to mention the photographers name! it is alan winston.
