Sex to Sexty was a sexually-oriented humor magazine published in Arlington, Texas, by John W. Newbern, Jr. and Peggy Rodebaugh, with art direction (and cartoons, covers, etc.) by Lowell Davis (later to become known as a creator of bucolic art)[http://zombieswithcoffee.com/sex-to-sexty/ Davis, Phillip.

Legman. Blow the Candle Out: "Unprintable" Ozark Songs and Folklore. Vol. II: Folk Rhymes and Other Lore Fayetteville, Arkansas: University of Arkansas Press, 1992; p. 943
The content was a mixture of risqué anecdotes; limericks (some by Gershon Legman) and other short humorous sexual poetry; and cartoons, the latter initially by Davis but soon expanding to include artists such as veteran good girl artists Bill Ward and Bill Wenzel. It ran from 1964 to 1983.
The company which published the magazine also published novelty records and paperback books under the Sex to Sexty title.
