What did X-rated movie posters look like in the 1970s?

This poster for the 1970 John Holmes vehicle I Want You is reproduced from Reel Art Press’ naughty new bit of film-ephemera-worship, X-rated: Adult Movie Posters of the 60s and 70s. “Ripped brutally from the tortured realities of twisted lives, I WANT YOU is the ultimate in exploitation fare,” promotional copy promises. “Torrid scene after torrid scene the temperature and tension builds to a climactic orgy and explosive conclusion. I WANT YOU is a film that combines all the elements demanded by your audience plus mystery, excitement, and murder. The ending is guaranteed to be the most surprising of the year…” What can we say, it’s one of our Staff Favorite Holiday Gift Books of 2017!
