Just read my first Maxim

[UglyCasanova]

People buy this?

I got a free subscription off of Fat Wallet and found it in the mail today. The cover looked good enough, definitely not my normal reading material but I gave it a shot. Not sure how they make money, who the hell reads this?

It was "on the shitah" material until cell-phones with real browsers became the norm.

Which is actually really unsanitary but everyone does it.

 

[Rakehellion]

People still read magazines?

Basically, it's Cosmo for men, which means utter garbage.

 

[KaOTiK]

I have a year free sub and I only look at it when I'm on the toilet lol

 

[deerslayer]

I got it free for 5 years or so. It was good crapper reading.

each new issue of maxim is getting thinner and thinner.

Maxim has words?

I'd have lost that bet.

 

[Arcadio]

I used to read Maxim in my early 20's, mostly for the women, the gadgets, and the jokes.

 

[waggy]

about 8-10 years ago i got it free for a stretch of like 3 years before i stopped. its ok for the bathroom when you got a bad shit. but it even lost it's use then.

I'll probably catch hell for this but I like to read them while taking a bath, preferably with bubbles. 😀

Not joking though. I love my ipad and browsing the internet on it, but a bathtub is no place for it. When I'm not reading a book, I like to look through magazines in there. Helps me relax.

You're about 14 years too late to the Maxim thing.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I remember reading something about beer making your piss clearer in a maxim. So that's a little space in my brain I can't put anything useful in now...

Nope.

I had a subscription when I was a teen- haven't read one for at least 15 years

I never quite figured out the reading on the shitter deal...I just go in, do my buisness and get out

I got a free subscription out of nowhere many years ago. It just started coming to my house. When I saw it for the first time I was excited, but after looking through it I was disappionted. I suddenly realized I was misinformed and it wasn't like Hustler.

I think it's the worst when I'm trapped on the john with absolutely nothing to stimulate me other than the deed itself. I think it has something to do with the fact that you just can't move for that few minutes. I find myself reading anything within arm's reach at that moment. On some of my more desperate outings where I forgot my phone, I would find myself reading the ingredients to the hand soap, instructions for using q-tips, etc.

You guys who read on the toilet need to eat more broccoli. I crap in about 30 seconds and I'm done. No reading material in my bathrooms.

Because we just go in and poop. Some people go in and sit there for like 5 minutes before the poop comes out. I cannot fathom a more disagreeable affliction.

Exactly.

I used to get it in high school and college. It's always been a dirt cheap subscription. I don't know how they make money. I never paid more than $5 for a year subscription. I had it for probably 5 or 6 years before I cancelled it.

Advertising. The young male demographic is very lucrative and notoriously difficult to market to. They would give the magazine away for free, but if they did that the ad rates they could charge would plummet, so they have to charge a minimal subscription fee.

I get it for a couple bucks a year on my Kindle app. It's worth it even for a couple good pictures or an interesting article.

Cant trust a man who doesnt read while pinching a loaf.

Exactly.

We should start a power pooper club, it looks like it would be quite exclusive.

Say what you will but I always liked Playboy for the articles. Their interviews were consistently good and quite lengthy. And since they were free subscriptions for the fraternity house, nothing out of my pocket.
