I was mostly that way too, but then I ran across the Markhat series, by Frank Tuttle.
Example of the old style cover....

He's fixed most of the older covers to something he thinks is more representative of the stories. But before when I recommended them I kept having to tell people it's not actually porn. It's a Gunsmoke Fantasy world, and one I really liked. No porn or half naked men in the story at all.
And even now I don't agree with his cover choices. I read it more as a Western with fantasy elements, not like 1920's flapper era.
I still tell people they just need to ignore the covers.
