This original 1960s “Sex Relieves Tension” decal was produced by Great Western Enterprises, Inc. of Hollywood, California, a mid‑century American manufacturer known for novelty, adult humor, and pop‑culture water‑transfer decals. Great Western supplied a wide range of graphics during the 1950s through 1970s, commonly sold through gas stations, gift shops, and mail‑order catalogs.

🐦 Featuring colorful cartoon bird and bee artwork with bold mid‑century lettering, this decal reflects a period when adult humor was playful, visual, and openly displayed. Decals like this were intended to be permanently applied to car windows, toolboxes, lockers, or recreational spaces as casual expressions of personality and humor.

📄 This example survives in New Old Stock (NOS) condition and remains sealed in its original wax paper sleeve, complete with the original water‑slide application instructions. Most decals of this type were applied shortly after purchase, with packaging and instructions discarded, making unused examples with full presentation increasingly uncommon.

📏 Measuring approximately 4" × 3", the decal displays bright color, clean graphics, and no wear from use. It represents a distinctly mid‑century approach to novelty design — lighthearted, irreverent, and meant to be seen in everyday life.
