    Pornography was not out in the open in the 70s in stores. But, I distinctly remember a paperback book with a photo of a bunch of hippies (I think it was all male) and they were running their hands all over a woman's body. I think they were all laughing. I was only 10 or 12 and always found the photo really strange (not so strange a few years later). I asked numerous AI, and my brother to help find the book. They came up with nothing.

    This paperback was in all the shops that sold paperbacks and magazines.

    Does anyone have a clue as to what book this was? It was a photo, not a drawing or illustration. I would have thought it would be easy to find. It's not. It's now going to have to come from someone who actually knows what book it is.

    it's possible that photo was never uploaded onto the web..

    Stop pretending you don't know the answer, and just tell Snowman the title ...

    Then get your copy from the nightstand, and upload it.

    Do you think it was a pornographic book, or just a graphic book with nudity?
    Were they all naked?

    I was 12 the last time I saw it. It was on the cover. It didn't have photos inside. I'm guessing it was a fiction novel.
    It would be here. I actually looked on ebay last night. Putting in Paperback Hippies. There's thousands of books. I only scrolled through 2 pages of over 20.
    It was in all the shops, so it must have been popular.
    I think it was a novel. There were no pictures inside, just that photo on the cover. They all had clothes on. Even the girl lying down might have. But, her stomach was definitely showing, so she probably had on a halter top, and shorts. It was over a half century ago that I used to see this.

    The early 70's were definitely the Renaissance of 'Naked Hippie' books...I vaguely recall a few as I was in my early 20's and not spending quite as much time back then perusing Antique reference sites !
    Early titles might have referenced- art photography,dance,sexual techniques,massage,new age psychology, body/mind integration, kundalini/yoga-there's a million keywords that might yield up the volume.
