Men's Magazines

The one form of media which people are familiar with is magazines. Within this type of media, there are magazines which are for a male audience, especially men's magazines. However, men's magazines have received controversy by women due to the exploitation of women throughout the magazines available to men. Along side the exploitation of women, men's magazines also contain material based around sexuality and foul jokes about women, and inappropriate humor based around sexuality. While other parts of the magazines do not contain such materials, a descent amount of information inside to each issue of men's magazines do contain these topics. For example, one issue of a man's magazines may contain advice on how to repair a harmed friendship, while an issue of a completely different men's magazines will provide information on the size of male genitals.


Even the exact same magazine which provides information on genital sizes will also contain information on how to overcome sexual addictions, therefore making certain men's magazine's have both hypocritical and contradictory topics. Another way which makes men's magazines hypocritical, is that the same with a front cover of a woman in revealing clothing will contain information on how to overcome a sexual addiction. Besides contradictory topics, the other topics, including how to get along with women, have people questioning if men are insecure. There are both positive and negative reception of men's magazines by the male audience. Some men are displeased with the content of the magazines, while other men find the information a supportive resource.


In conclusion, men's magazines due expose various aspects of men, which are very unfortunate. Therefore, hopefully the content in the magazines will continue in being relevant to reality.
