"Confessions of a Divorce Mills Love Mate" A history lesson for the children (under 40) here. In the United States before 1969, divorce was very difficult. Divorce was granted only because one party to the marriage had violated a sacred vow to the "innocent spouse." Long seprations might be required. The exception was my old stomping grounds (from Wiki):
By 1909, however, Reno, Nevada was, and was happy to be, "the divorce capital of the world." At that time, only six months in Nevada were sufficient to establish Nevada residency, and the Nevada courts, well aware of the contribution of divorce seekers to Nevada's hospitality industry, accepted the resident's uncorroborated statement that grounds for divorce, usually "extreme cruelty," existed. In 1927, the Nevada Legislature, "in response to a perceived threat to Reno’s divorce supremacy from France and Mexico and a divorce-trade war that had been going on since the end of World War I between Nevada, Idaho, and Arkansas," changed the residency period to three months, and in 1931, the same Legislature that voted in "wide-open gambling" dropped it to six weeks. Providing accommodations and other amenities for visitors, who could not leave Nevada during the six weeks, became a major Reno industry; greeters met the arriving trains, and there were a variety of divorce ranches.
Then in 1969, California passed "no-fault" divorce and the flood gates opened.
This blurb refers to sweet and handsome young men who kept the perspective divorcees from being lonely while establishing residency.
"The Nude Tent Girls of Normany" Your guess is as good as mine, though I do like the'nude girls' part.
"They had orders to find Playmates for the Women-Mad Oil Shieks of the Desert. If money couldn't buy them, they were to stop at nothing to get them!" If the girls were to stupid to take the money they deserved the 'stop at nothing' treatment!
"Unnatural Torture (as opposed to natural torture? Is this an early example of the organic food movement?) Sacrifices of the Nympho Hari-Kari Hostages." Whew! Sounds great!
Cover" Not at all chear which if any of those stories is the cover. But the girl in the back being stripped is very nice. And the girl in front being encouraged by a a whip to do a belly dance is very, very nice. Damn frogman look like they will spoil the Japanese(?) party.
