THE MATING URGE (1959) - Decal Design

This decal features the evocative design of the theatrical poster for "The Mating Urge" (1959), a cinematic exploration of "love rites in strange lands." The artwork is a vibrant embodiment of mid-century exploitation cinema aesthetics, designed to intrigue and shock.

A Sensational Composition

At the heart of the design is a bold visual narrative promising titillation and the allure of the unknown. The primary imagery showcases a nearly nude woman and a man in a lush, jungle-like setting. This immediately establishes the film's thematic focus on primitive, "exotic" love rituals. The couple's pose and the environment suggest a sense of forbidden exploration and untamed passion, setting the tone for the entire film.

Exploitation Elements

Complementing the central image are inset vignettes. These smaller scenes, depicted in a stylized manner, highlight some of the movie's most sensational aspects. Themes such as "Peek-A-Boo Romance," "The Fertility Tree," and the provocative "Women Marry Women — and man is the love-slave!" are all prominently featured. These elements create a mosaic of lurid curiosity, inviting viewers to delve into the film's controversial content.

Retro Appeal

The design utilizes bold typography with headlines such as “Unashamed Love Rites… Shocking! Authentic!” These elements are iconic of mid-century exploitation movie posters, and contribute to its strong retro appeal. The artistic style is a direct representation of the film's time period and its unique, provocative marketing tactics.

Symbolism and Meaning

The poster's overall meaning centers around the exploitation of themes relating to sexuality, cultural anthropology, and the romanticism of the unexplored. It uses visual storytelling to provoke curiosity, highlighting the contrast between the familiar and the foreign, all while hinting at sensational narratives that promise forbidden knowledge. The design ultimately serves as a captivating representation of the movie's unique, and controversial, historical context.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
