Sixth issue of this publication from the heyday of New York sex tabloids, notable for being edited by artist and hippie activist Louis Abolafia (1941-1995). Sometimes credited with having coined the phrase "Make Love, Not War," Abolafia in 1968 ran for president against Richard Nixon on the nudist Love ticket, and by his own account received nearly two million votes. Contents here consist primarily of nude photographs and erotic fiction ("Long Time Comin" by Joe Kane, "The Vagina" by S. D., "Sexus" by Jim Boyd, etc.), with two pages of personal ads at rear.
