I read my FHM at the esplanade library. From my experience from browsing at mags at the esplanade, I have to say rock mags like Kerrang! probably have more explicit photos of girls than FHM

I once heard gals read these magazines to understand guys...just like guys read Female to understand gals

Gee, Female doesn't exactly reflect the majority of Singapore's female population. And I'm sure glad it doesn't!! If you go by the portrayal of local ladies there, you'd think we're all materialistic, sexually promiscuous (or should I attempt to be politically correct and say 'sexually liberated'Originally posted by X-men:I once heard gals read these magazines to understand guys...just like guys read Female to understand gals ) and not family-oriented.
Hmm... wondering if it's a reflection of the change in times...
Mom used to read Her World and Female avidly and I got to leaf through her mags waaay back in the '70's and '80's. (She stopped purchasing them in the '90's because she said there was too much sex sex sex, men men men, money money money in it. Back then, she was muttering about the 'lack of moral values these days'!)
Back then, these two mags would feature more wholesome articles on friendships, relationships, housekeeping tips, recipes, etc. You would not see articles on sex, or if you did, they would be very subtle and restrained. You certainly wouldn't see racy / sex-centric / scandalous headlines like, 'How to make him beg for more...', 'I dated more than three men at a time!', 'My husband had an affair with our maid', etc etc.
Whilst these articles do serve to 'educate' us more on a subject once considered taboo, part of me wonders whether it's worth sacrificing moral values for a more 'liberated' sexual orientation. It's good to know such things, but to promote 'loose' values is quite something else. Whilst it's one thing to learn good techniques to please your lover / husband in bed, it's quite another to learn it so that you can bed as many men as you wish.
Ah well, it all boils down to personal choice, I guess. The point can also be brought up that one shouldn't limit education and knowledge just to keep someone ignorant and thus, preserve morals because it's ultimately an individual's right to choose how he/she lives his/her life.
Ethics and morals... always a grey area! -

That's why I've boycotted buying such mags and only stuck with Singapore Women's Weekly & some other health mags for now. And I thought I was the only one here who thought like this. -

maybe I should feedback to my friends working for that Magazine -
Ah well, they won't change for the world... cause sex and scandals SELL like hot cakes!Originally posted by X-men:Hahahaha... ok
maybe I should feedback to my friends working for that Magazine
Oh, and btw... what they reflect now, is 'popular' culture. So well, I'll bet it sells well. What used to be frowned upon is now de rigeur so oh well, watched 'Growing Up'? That was my era so you can tell where I'm coming from! -
i volunteer my service!Originally posted by Rhonda:Many times I've wanted to buy FHM too, to see things from a typical guy's perspective... but then, I never got round to doing it.
Mental block, maybe? If I have a guy I can read the mag with, then it's a different thing altogether. -
My contribution : me no read these. Me read the ah-sohs mag. Like what Rhonda's mum's kind. Housekeeping, cooking, recipes, fitness, health......
-
Me read those AND a few of these!Originally posted by littlestream:My contribution : me no read these. Me read the ah-sohs mag. Like what Rhonda's mum's kind. Housekeeping, cooking, recipes, fitness, health...... Erm... multi-talented? Smooth 'transition' from workplace to home to kitchen to erm... boudoir? HARharharhar!!! Sowwy... me quite cheeky! -
By any chance, do you happen to read American mags like 'Woman's Day', 'Ladies' Home Journal', 'Red Book', 'Good Housekeeping', 'Bon Appetit', 'Cooking Light' and 'Gourmet'?Originally posted by littlestream:My contribution : me no read these. Me read the ah-sohs mag. Like what Rhonda's mum's kind. Housekeeping, cooking, recipes, fitness, health......
I read 'Cosmopolitan' and 'Shape' or 'Fitness' sometimes too. And then, there are these neat pillsbury monthlies. 'Living' by Martha Stewart, rarely... she's not really 'practical' but well, the photos in there are lovely! Flowers, antiques, nature, FOOD!!
My very first American mag was an issue of 'Red Book' I bought in Dec 1988. At that time, it was the most expensive mag I owned. It was Bill Cosby on the cover, wearing a Santa hat, and they had recipes for some really pretty Christmas cookies. I remember reading it from cover to cover, I even scrutinised the ads in there, it was a very special and memorable moment. I think I still have that very first copy, somewhere. -
We have the titles on the local shelves but out of these I subscribed to Fitness only. And then on the Canadian front, I subscribe to Canadian Living (my fav.), Chatelaine and Elle (because it only cost me C$1).
Canadian Living has tons of recipes (now you know why it is my fav. ) and I love looking through the pix. Somehow, recipes without pix doesn't do much for me. Maybe I am a visual person. Oh, you may want to check out their website.

Fitness was supposed to give me all the tips to stay in shape but alas....it failed its duty.
Chatelaine has good recipes too. Yes, I love bumper issues. The festivity ones gave me lotsa of ideas.
Remember my BBQ last weekend? Well, I borrowed an idea from Cdn Living to do up my ice cubes. My guests were impressed. -

Eh... I'm well-rounded, how did you know? Even after working out at the gym, still well-rounded!
littlestream, I wish I could say I was well-rounded in the good sense, but I'm not... I just like to talk a lot, only.
Paiseh... Exposed my talkativeness already!! -
Eeeeyaaaaa..........you so bad.Originally posted by Rhonda:

Paiseh... Exposed my talkativeness already!! Made me laugh so hard until I fa_rted. Cannot control mah.....wait kena "lai siong" again, how?
I am also "well rounded" mah. In fact, may have to put my clothes up for garage sale. Help me pray for good weather. And then with the sale money, can go get a new wardrobe. But one size up. -

Looks like we cannot meet because I always seem to give you 'lai siong'!
I hope you'll have good weather for your garage sale too! And well, buying new clothes is always fun, heck-care size up or not! -
Ah! I suddenly remembered this one men's mag I loved to read and I'd always secretly read it when my ex-flatmates bought it!
Men's Health!
Nice bods, studly models, and loadsa loadsa articles on sex! Plus, there's tons of exercise and health articles too so next time, will know how to help keep my partner in good health!
"Honey... if you wanna eat that orh luak (oyster omelette), you'll have to go for your hour-long walk first, ok? And no stopping by the char kway teow stall during your walk, you hear! Aiyah... on 2nd thoughts, I'd better go along too, just to make sure!" And then, take a walk together, maybe hand-in-hand, and then, at the end of the walk, shyly suggest maybe, char kway teow is good reward for us! muaharharhar!!!
