Swinger Lifestyle Wife Swapping Vintage Sleaze Paperbacks

Swinger Lifestyle Wife Swapping Vintage Sleaze Paperbacks

The topic of Swinging was always a popular one for authors writing sleaze novels during the late 1960's and early 1970's. Hundreds of books were published with swinging themes from wife swapping clubs to the cess pool suburbs full of husband swapping perversions! Phrases like "switch Partners", "Wife swapping", "Suburban sex cult", and "Weekend Party" were all common as titles for these swinger novels. The best part of these books today is their awesome cover art illustrations and the great taglines and copy. 

A great reference book to start with on Sleaze paperbacks is Sin-A-Rama: The Sex Sleaze paperbacks of the Sixties. It shows hundreds of great vintage sleaze books!

Vintage sleaze paperbacks are a great collectible-they can easily be found in ebay which has a vintage paperback category. Typing in the word "Sleaze", "sleaze paperback", or "sleaze pb" will allow you to find such campy kitsch treasures on ebay. 

Collecting vintage paperbacks in a topical way can get you an entire collection of gay/lesbian themed books, SF books, Westerns, or any sort of odd assortment from topics like vintage paperbacks with cover art showing deep sea equipment to books having to do with the Wife Swapping phenomenon. 

A great place to find vintage paperback related gifts with great art and kitsch is at SWEETHEARTSINNER! They have many pulp related and vintage paperback themed items-all under $10!

Which Lesbians Prefer Males? Vintage lesbian Pulp fiction sleaze paperback!

This 1960's era book asks the important social question....Which Lesbians Prefer Males?

 

 

 

This features cover art by Bill Edwards, who was a rodeo and film star as well as noted artist! He specialized in Western art but did cover art for many paperbacks in the 1960's. Here is one of the more racy titles from the Sixties.  It features a sexy brunette being spanked by a guy presumably because she is a lesbian. Accordingly, the artist and author believe that those lesbians that prefer males must be spanked to get them "straight".

 

While these books are not at all politically correct or sensitive, they are "campy" and fun in their own way. The obvious answer to the question posed is "NONE!" Lesbian paperbacks are fun to collect for their campy covers and taglines! They can be very valuable, make awesome displays, and are great cultural artifacts. Titles can be found on ebay for anywhere from $10 to $100 each.

 

I would love to see a book called "What heterosexuals prefer being gay?"

Pop Art- Turning common objects into artistic creations by Sweetheartsinner

SWEETHEARTSINNER POP ART DESIGNS

 

 

https://www.etsy.com/shop/sweetheartsinner

 

 

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, news, etc. In pop art, material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, and/or combined with unrelated material. The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it.

 

Pop art employs aspects of mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects. It is widely interpreted as a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of abstract expressionism, as well as an expansion upon them.And due to its utilization of found objects and images it is similar to Dada. Pop art is aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any given culture, most often through the use of irony. It is also associated with the artists' use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques.

Owl I Know Is... Owl Inspired Jewelry from Sweetheartsinner Creations

Owls first became really popular in the 1970's-- we all remember owl items in our grandmothers' houses growing up. Remember the macrame hanging owls and ceramic owl cookie jars? I know I do! And of course, the kitsch factor was high, and earth-tones like rust orange and brown were all the rage.

Over the past few years, owls have made a major comeback. Designers are incorporating these regal birds into their handmade goods. At Sweetheartsinner Creations, we've paid homage to the owl in both kitschy and more "serious" designs.
