Maxim
Avg. Customer Review: 
 I don't wannna
like this magazine, I really don't. I know it's sexist, and preying upon all the dumb guy stereotypes that us sensitive guys deny but can't shake. And yes, I know it's really soft porn disguised as, well, ...maybe it doesn't disguise itself after all. Anyway, sign me up mom, I want my Maxim.
All the Bangs for your Buck..........but even better
Whenever a person wants to read a review on items such as MAXIM.....you find yourself in a situation that is sad really. For products like this that are for 18 and over......you find people writting reviews which are 25-40 years old. I'm not saying that it is a bad thing, but how do you know what younger adults think.
(...) saw a MAXIM magazine sitting on a table. So, out of curiosity, I picked it up. To say the least....If you are a man, meaning.....you like cars, women, electronics, sex, jokes, and things of that sort, then this is the magazine for you. Obviously I am not trying to be biased. Women find this magazine very interesting also. My college friends (mostly women) read this together and find it most entertaining.
It's hard to not give MAXIM a 5 star rating, but you have to realize that a magazine such as this will be a great magazine for a couple of years to come, but then, that's it. For the time being, I think it is great. But like Playboy was when it first came out for the public, People are going to want to see more. It won't last, it can't last. But, I recommend getting a subscription now. Enjoy it while you can.
Maximum Female Fun for Young Men
Maxim is a monthly publication aimed at the younger male population, aged 16 to 30. This magazine offers a few amusing tidbits each month, like jokes and unusual ways to make things. There is an occasional fashion article, and some monthly articles on electronic gadgets and music. But the primary reason why people buy Maxim and the main reason it sells as well as it does is the women.Maxim is not really an adult magazine, like Playboy or Penthouse. Its photographs do not expose so much that they should garner an X rating. But many of them come very close. From the picture on the cover (always a young woman, often with a seductive look in her eyes and much flesh exposed) to the photos in the middle, Maxim uses sex to sell. It isn't strictly a photo- op magazine for young women. There are interviews to accompany the visual effects. But the small talk is almost always geared toward sex- how to get it, how to keep getting it for a long time, how to improve your chances to get it, how to help friends get it, how to turn women on, etc. The photos in Maxim are enticing, and I don't think any red- blooded American male would deny this fact. But what hurts Maxim a little bit and what keeps it from gaining as much respect as it could have is the monthly dose of stupidity that comes with each issue. Much of what you find in the "How to" section, for example, is idiotic and I cannot imagine anyone taking it seriously. The "Bar Exam" feature is also bordering on stupidity, with a set of trivia questions each month about some type of useless information. Overall, I think Maxim is at least an average magazine, in spite of its flaws. Yes, many of the articles are brainless and the humor is the type that would amuse a 12- year old. But the main reason people buy and read (or should I say look) at Maxim is the photographs of the women. With so much flesh exposed, without going to far, Maxim is a publication with a purely visual bend. You won't find much intelligence here, but you will find plenty of photos of scantily clad women, tempting your hormones with their youthful good looks and uninhibited personalities.
