Can someone please explain Maxim Magazine to me?

[MrScorpio]

I can't look at an issue with thinking, "Lame attempt at soft porn."

1. Hint: its target audience is males age 13-25

3. You are right

Its kinda the "Playboy" for a new generation except they don't overtly show nudity. Everything is always covered up even if its only a hand. Instead of Playboy bunnies you have actresses, rock stars and models doing the layouts with interviews.

4. "well in my day"

i had oui magazine that was published by playboy. great magazine with real naked women and excellent writing. the rumor is that playboy sold it because it was cutting into playboy`s younger buyers. this new generation just don`t have the balls to show real naked women

5. FHM and Stuff are MUCH soft pornier.

Consistently, of the three, Maxim is the most tame.
