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...

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.

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. 😂

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.
