Pictures created by people who knew full well how they could be interpreted. For pictures to fit in here there needs to be an element of plausible deniability, although it can be a tenuous one...

Perhaps people back in 1975 were too confused by this album cover to be offended... (sh.itjust.works)

Nice, this seems like a real band: Link to album info

Would perform naked on stage. Mickey is the lead singer / guitarist. The 7 stands for 7 inches.

Sounds like they were cool people, I need to get this album sometime.

Edit: Definitely very anchored in the 70's musical style, but their song Uranus (Space Butt Hole) is actually decent.

Dicks were big in the 70s. It was cool to work them into art, or wear them as jewelry.

The dual meaning of "big" in this context makes this comment more entertaining.

This is fake, isn't it? "Stroke my spoke" 😂

Seems like it was just a "the 70s being the 70s"-thing. Remember that for a while, people also assumed, actual pornographic scenes would become a mainstay of mainstream cinema.

We're gonna find out this is the original inspiration for Tenacious D.

"Rock Around My Crotch"

"I Got My Right Hand"

"Funk-y Butt"

Every one of those sounds like it could be the name of a Tenacious D song, or part of the chorus of one. 😂
