Default How do you guys feel about Cosmo magazine?

I won't lie, I am a man and you can probably figure out why I sometimes find myself looking at the cover of Cosmo magazine while in a checkout line.

It seems more and more a big part of me is getting uncomfortable with the topics such as, "Bad Girl Sex, 75 Very Naughty Moves to Try on a Man", "Foreplay Men Crave", "Is There Anything Hotter Than Make-Up Sex?" (of course the other part of me is thinking about getting Leslie a subscription!). But then I notice that the cover girls are Selena Gomez, Ashley Greene, and Dakot a Fanning. It just doesn't seem right to me, too much sex too young.

Well today I found out I'm not alone, there is a movement to make Cosmo sell there mags in the same way Playboy, Hustler, etc. do, in a non transparent wrap!

What is funny is that I used to always read Cosmo when I was 17 yreas old to my young twenties. Then I moved on to Glamour, which I will still buy on occasion. Cosmo does seem a little too obesessed with sex, I agree.

I used to read Cosmo, back in the day, before I was even having sex, lol. I wondered who in the hell these women were who were able to have "Ten different types of sex you should have before you settle down" since I couldn't even find one suitable man worthy of sex. Then, I met some other people and I realized what I dork I am, and that the magazine was probably not for me. I certainly wouldn't want my teenage daughter reading it....

I never liked Cosmo. I liked sex, but not Cosmo. It's not written for real women.
