You have to look at it in that era's context.Censors would only allow so much to be seen in the media of the day.Nowadays it's gotten more lenient. So much is seen to the point of boredom. Today's smut will probably even be tame years from now.
As much as anything else, it was the subject matter of MIDNIGHT COWBOY (rape, male prostitution, homosexuality) that got it an "X" rating. When the ratings system was first devised, "X" was meant for films with serious adult subject matter, not just porn--but hard-care porn made it difficult for non-porn films to get into theaters.
Todays chicks mug for the camera. Its boring. I find this hotter

taboo subject matters like these were x-rated back then. look at midnight cowboy: x-rated in 1969, now pretty much tame.
