Personally this doesn't feel like true theyknew material, because this is one of those "this is how they had to advertise because nobody would allow them to say the real purpose of the items" rather than "suggestive thing presented as normal with a lot of rib-to-elbow action and stifled giggles behind the scenes, often hidden from management"

It's one of those "it fits the literal definition but not the spirit" situations. Idk Maybe it's just me.

It'll never not be funny though

In India they’re still advertised exactly like this

You're right, Chief.

And that sort of thing had been commonplace since the Victorian times.

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...
