Re: Opinions please: Maxim Magazine & My teenage son
hmmm...I have some reasons for doing it and some for not doing it.
Maxim would be better than most of the hardcore internet stuff thats out there. I mean, you don't want him to start thinking that choking women and tying them up and stuff is OK. So I think Maxim is a little more tasteful.
But on the other hand, Maxim is for adults. A lot of the content in there is related to sex. So if you don't mind him reading that than its fine. Hell, little 12 year old girls read crap like Cosmo and other explicitly adult magazines. But also look how slutty American girls have gotten.
I think its probably fine to get him the magazine, but it might be a little awkward to tell him.
dad: "i got you a subscription to Maxim"
childe: "why"
dad: "uh...so you can...uh..read it in the bathroom"
