Ooof, I thought lads mags like FHM and Loaded were amazing when I discovered them. Before they existed, all men's magazines were like GQ and assumed their readers aspired to be James Bond, giving advice on how to tailor your suit and how to choose the best cigar. Someone realized that mags could instead cater to young men as they are: chasing girls, wanting to be action stars, drinking booze, having a laugh with your mates. In hindsight I'm embarrassed to have liked it at all. Most cringey was when they'd have some hot girl photo shoot overlaid with clearly fake pull quotes that made it sound like she was looking for a man just like you, dear reader.

Yeah usually with stuff like “I like quiet confident nerdy guys” or “guys that don’t try to hard to look good”. One that stuck with me for years simply said “I like the Halo game.”

This is more of a most 2000s thing but this reminds me of how Kanye West used to photoshop "where are you Yeezy?" word bubbles onto sexy model photos for his blog back in the day.

I have an old Maxim somewhere from like June 2001. I could never throw it away because of this weird rear end article of 'hard hitting investigative journalism' about how Iraq secretly had nuclear capability and America needed to attack to save the world.

I think it was Teen Cosmo or Teen Vogue during the 2012's that actually started publishing investigative pieces and started pressing upon young girls body autonomy. You have to remember that Teen Cosmo is not for teens. It's for preteens.

There were a few years when Maxim was basically free and you ended up subscribed to it by signing up for other things and not unchecking the box next to the fine print. It just seemed like ads for stuff 20 something guys might like interspersed with pictorials of scantily clad actresses, models and musicians.

I got maxim in middle+high school from like 2002 until 2007 because the family had subscriptions to NatGeo, GQ, SI, Architectural Digest, and a bunch of other stuff and even then it basically got ignored I imagine most of us were well-enough versed at internet porn to render the maxim brand of centerfold photography irrelevant to our tastes

That said, I do miss the 80s style "Let's just slip some boobs in this movie" poo poo; when I first saw Friday the 13th recently, I was surprised by how much of it was just an excuse to show titties on screen.

I saw so much R and NC-17 content that I definitely shouldn’t have..…probably why I’m such a queerdo cinephile today.

By the time On Demand and digital cable were a thing we'd already gotten rid of our cable subscription, and now I do cable through a CableCard hooked up to my HDHomerun, so on-demand has never really been a thing I think about.

What you never flipped back and forth from the spice channel to something else rapidly to try and catch sight of a boob before the full scramble took over after a half second?

Man, I didn’t have cable growing up nor did I have internet until I started art school in ‘99 so I missed out on all the smut. No woods porn, just acres upon acres of discarded, rusted-out farming and construction equipment courtesy of the über-hoarder who owned the surrounding land, so the best I could do was snag an old Frederick’s of Hollywood catalog from my friend’s weird dad. Frederick’s was better than Victoria’s Secret anyway imo because there was absolutely no pretense of tastefulness. Not that any of it mattered, I had no privacy throughout my adolescence, not even a bedroom door.

I loved that Right Stuf had its own Comcast On-Demand channel with a bunch of anime to watch for free. I shoulder-surfed my mom putting in the parental control code and that's how I first watched Golden Boy and Devil Hunter Yoko

There is an Irish themed restaurant at Disney World that does Irish dancing every night. It's always packed and you need to make reservations in advance. The love of the dance never died.

Björk is 90s art/alternative as gently caress. She and Fiona Apple are like that extremely intelligent artistic girl that non-one can touch with regards to uniqueness/style. Like, they are the ones who start hipster trends and are still lightyears ahead of that trend because when the trend gets picked up they have already gone two steps ahead.
