This week we head off to the west coast and delve into the Los Angeles Free Press, also known as the FREEP, which a paper that would eventually be almost fully consumed by sex ads. But in 1971 there was still a large amount of journalism still going on. However we’re only interested in the smut, so here for your perusal are the theater and for a change “live sex” show ads from the April 2/3, 1971 edition. As always enjoy.

THE SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF THE DRAGON ART
For many of you connoisseurs of smut The Dragon Art Theatre, made famous by Something Weird Video series of the same name, and the usage of the Donn Davison’s introduction to those videos (first on VHS, then DVD and DVD-R, and now also downloadable, for now…), is not an unfamiliar name.
