According to the John Lennon site Absolute Elsewhere, John Lennon himself referred to this album photo for Two Virgins as featuring two “flabby junkies”. The utter madness of releasing this album cover in 1968 can’t be underestimated.
It’s not as it is today with several decades of naked people on album sleeves and music videos behind us. John Lennon’s flaccid, wilty junk swaying back and forth in the squalor of his apartment wasn’t considered in poor taste, it was actually branded as pornography!
What possessed Ono and Lennon to put their naked naughty bits on Two Virgins is beyond me, but Absolute Elsewhere speculates that Lennon might have been a closet exhibitionist. No matter.
What matters to you is that your eyeballs have been permanently seared with the vision of Lennon and Ono proudly displaying pubic shrubbery so massive by today’s standards that endangered bald eagles could build a nest there.
