Maxim Magazine Subscription

Pros: Some good articles and features
Cons: Clearly aimed towards single men, somewhat exploitive of women

Maxim is the latest, hottest magazine for men between the ages of 18-25. I must admit that if I were a man, I could not be turned away from a magazine blaring the latest hot babe, wearing practically nothing, tweaked into a scathingly provocative pose,...

Pros: Funny outlook on the world from a male perspective
Cons: See below . . .

Pros: um...may be the fact that subscription does end
Cons: Everything else

Now this is one magazine you must avoid at all costs! The title might be confusing but whatever you do, DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THAT MAGAZINE! If you want to know in my opinion this is something that should have never existed! Disclaimer: I do not mean ...

Pros: Funny articles and features; great photos of gorgeous women
Cons: Fashion spreads; best of what's out there isn't neccessarily great

Back in the late 1980's, I was an avid subscriber to Spy magazine. I ate up every shred of information in that once witty, cynical and literate periodical. Then, after a while, it went from being clever to just being...well, to quote Spinal...

Pros: Humorous content; provides what their target audience is looking for
Cons: None

Ever wonder what would happen if you gave the boys from Animal House enough money to put out a magazine? Frankly, neither did I, but I imagine it would look something like Maxim: a monthly examination of deep issues like women, booze,...

Pros: beautiful, half-naked young women?
Cons: just read the review...

WARNING: I'm reviewing this magazine based strictly on its contents. Part of this review may be vulgar or inappropriate to some readers. Unfortunately, vulgarity and sexually explicit articles are a lot of what this magazine is about. If you'd like a...

Pros: Entertaining, Funny Magazine
Cons: Half Naked Women, but where AREN'T they?

Ok I have to admit it. I read this magazine! When my husband first brought it home a few months ago, I was a little leary on whether I wanted it in my house at all when I first saw the cover. Half naked women ready to bare it all if they could. But...

Pros: better than date rape
Cons: purely insulting to the male sex

For crying out loud, are we men or spineless sheep who blindly follow the wagging of the media dog's tail. This magazine makes me sick, and angry, and really ashamed to be male.

After a moment, the intelligent male should realize, wait a...

Pros: Great for 13 year old boys who can't buy Playboy yet.
Cons: Not enough of anything that men are looking for.

I'm a 25 year old heterosexual guy who really enjoys looking at attractive women and reading about expensive toys. I could be the poster boy for Maxim! Even so, I don't think it's worth reading, and it's hardly worth flipping through in the Dentist's...

Pros: can be funny, cool boy stuff
Cons: tries too hard

Remember that guy in high school who was really good looking and slick and all the pretty girls wanted to go out with him, even the teachers? Maxim is like his geeky younger brother.

Oh, it wants to be cool. It really really tries. After...

Pros: Maxim - a dumbed down version of playboy; Vicki's - women and lingerie without distracting text
Cons: how could there be?

Ah yes, the inevitable faceoff - two ok magazines featuring lots of hot women in underwear with some text surrounding them that is rather negligible considering there are so many hot women. Maxim has more and funnier writing than Vicki's but the latter...

Pros: Twisted Sense of Humor
Cons: Too much advertising

My friend Bucky received Maxim as a Christmas present from his son last year. After Bucky had thoroughly read each issue, he would lend them to me to peruse. Bucky must have enjoyed Maxim because he wanted each issue back.

If you read Mad...

Pros: All-encompassing men's magazine with a lot of skin
Cons: A little of everything runs the risk of being a lot of nothing... yeah, I know, what fortune cookie did I steal THAT from?

I must confess, it was skin -- plain and simple -- that made me buy the newest issue of Maxim, the all-encompassing men's magazine geared toward the twentysomething set. I'd rifled through a copy of the Maxim Hot 100 insert at work a couple...

Pros: Beautiful women, funny, possibly some informative articles.
Cons: Definitely aimed at the very immature or college aged male.

I might call this a somewhat more juvenile version of Playboy, but that isn't quite the most accurate description. This magazine seems clearly aimed at the kind of person who is really focused on sex, but not in the traditional skin magazine like...

Pros: Maximum pleasure!
Cons: Ads

In case you didn't know, I'm a female. Maxim Magazine was introduced to me by my boyfriend. At first, I reacted like most females would when their significant other offers this magazine to you. I immediately thought that the magazine was just a...
