Ads that would never make it today.
Who knew 1950s Jantzen swim suit ads had such an undertone of homosexuality?
This is bizarre on so many levels... it's hard even to know where to begin...

Was it aimed at Mrs. Jerry Falwell?

Half of those are harmless....suddenly kids can't eat bananas in an ad? If you read something dirty into that then that says more about you than the ad.
Also I think a few of those are fake. The " Spread your legs" one is for sure....the poolboy one probably too.

Razor Baby looks like Elisabeth Moss in a crossover production of The Handmaid’s Tale and Sweeney Todd.

R6 Yes, the pool boy one is for sure, and I am convinced the "Spread your legs" was on some fake spoof ads website

Please - the main point of having a pool boy is to fuck him.

Is this Richard Deacon, or just a lookalike?

I'm disappointed the poolboy one is a fake. Back then it would probably be more true than not.

I'm pretty sure if the hubby wore a swimsuit like that back when the ad was created (or today, for that matter), the poolboy was a legitimate concern for the wife.
