Reviews For Maxim Magazine

I take my 5 star ratings seriously and won't give them unless well-deserved. MAXIM fits the bill! I've been a subscriber for about two years and somehow they continue to make each issue more interesting than the last.

Gorgeous, scantily-clad women from t.v. and movies adorn a sizeable number of pages. Speaking of pages, the paper-stock used in MAXIM is the expensive, glossy type so that all the pics look great. Since several other reviewers have already focused on the beautiful women aspect of the mag, I'll concentrate on the rest...

I am so busy that it is rare for me to actually spend more than a few minutes reading any magazine. It's almost as if I have a form of Attention Deficit Disorder when it comes to magazines because if an article is even vaguely familiar to something I've already read elsewhere, I'll move on. Why waste my time with old news? This has never been an issue (bad pun) with MAXIM!

Each issue is jam-packed with stuff that you just won't read anywhere else. Some of it is packaged in regular sections, such as "How To", where you'll learn everything from how to win a demolition derby to how to beat your credit card debt. Other regular features that you won't find elsewhere include stupid bar tricks, offensive jokes, questions you won't ask your own doctor, and fresh, thorough reviews of gadgets, electronics, fashion, beer, music and everything else important in a guy's life. Rounding out the regular features are enough sports and sex to satisfy even the most fanatical connoisseurs of either.

But it's the original articles that keep me coming back. (I swear!) Stories of real life adventure, crime sagas, first person accounts of experiences related to the best and worst this planet has to offer. Never dull and never something you could read anywhere else.

The whole 'feel' of the magazine reminds me of the guy who everyone wants to hang out with - the smart-ass, but caring friend who knows about everything but doesn't make you feel stupid for not knowing - the friend with excellent taste who tells bad jokes but makes you laugh - the dude we all wish we could be so we hope some of his coolness rubs off on us.

Ok I have to admit it. I read this magazine! When my husband first brought it home a few months ago, I was a little leary on whether I wanted it in my house at all when I first saw the cover. Half naked women ready to bare it all if they could. But once I opened the magazine, I have to admit, the articles are entertaining and humorous. I would find myself reading the articles and look up 10 minutes later, feeling quite ashamed of myself! LOL After all, I am not one to actually enjoy most women's magazines. I've read them all, from Cosmo to Elle and couldn't find one that interested me. After all, Cosmo is ALL about how to pleasure your man. Come on, we need this information EVERY month?

Maxim has articles about how men can pleasure their woman and they focus one article about a particular famous woman every month. BUT they also have hilarious jokes and very entertaining articles....let me give you an example..in this months issue....What Dad Never Taught You..Maxim gives you 22 save-your-*ss skills that your Dad should have passed on to you long ago. Such as, picking the right dog from the pound, rolling your own smokes, all the way down to Dump a Dead Body. Of course this is some funny stuff! Heck it even gives guys some advice on how to look better and improve their style! And how to improve your relationship or even pick up a girl if you can't get one by having a Job of the Month LOL.

Some women may not agree with me, I know for one, my best friend thinks I'm just downright stupid for letting my husband read it because of the half naked women. But come on...really ladies, when does your husband or boyfriend, go ANYWHERE these days and not see a half naked woman? I mean they are everywhere, billboards, TV, magazines, heck, even walking down the street half the time. If your guy can't look at a magazine then there is definitely something wrong. Besides, if Maxim can entertain me (other than the pictures) then I know other women out there have to like it too.

I recommend this magazine to anyone who likes to laugh, male or female, although it is aimed at men subscribers. It's a great magazine! Go Maxim!

I first discovered Maxim a couple of years ago when my husband brought home an issue. Great. Another men's mag with a half dressed chick on the cover as it's main selling point. I was bored and picked it up, hoping to find something in there to give him a hard time about. Boy, was I surprised! This magazine is great!

So what if one of it's main drawing points for men is the obligatory chick shot on every other page. This magazine is witty, irreverent, and absolutely hilarious! Take some article titles of the past: "Chicks Love Guys Who Kill For Money!!Be a SEAL." Or the travel article entitled "Get Out of Town! We Visit America's True Hellholes!" And these articles are actually informative. They go places, eat at restaurants, view movies, and interview people. They give honest, bitingly funny accounts of all their research.

In one issue they tested hiking boots for endurance and quality. Women also wear hiking boots, but all the "boot testing" done in women's magazines consists of "Five of our staffers bravely consented to wearing these boots to work for the day. Here's what they have to say about them." How in the heck is that supposed to help ME? In Maxim, they really tested those boots! They tossed them to a rottweiler for lunch. They put explosives in the toes, they ran over them. Then they described in detail how much damage was done to each brand. One brand (I can't remember which, now) actually survived the explosives with only a little separation of the top of the boot from the sole! Now THAT'S product testing!!

They also have a regular feature that showcases stupid things people do. Like rituals in other countries that involve sticking long sharp objects through your cheek or nose, or just things stupid people do, like killing themselves in highly unlikely ways (usually during the commission of a crime, so I'm not too sympathetic).

You won't find any make up tips here, but you'll find a lot of really helpful info on everything from travel spots to avoid, to great little pubs in New York, to product testing, advice on women (pretty good advice, usually, too), sports news, music/movie/game reviews, etc. They also showcase a number of way cool new products that I usually add to my wish list immediately.

I buy my OWN copy every month now. And if he asks nicely, I let my husband look at the girls. :)

WOW! Maxim contains almost all guy could want from a magazine. Where else can you find information on women, jokes, scantily clad women, stupid stories, and exciting articles?

Maxim contains articles that are similar to Cosmo- i.e. "How To Please Her All Night Long With One Move". Useful articles that will certainly grab your attention and are fun to read. Monthly articles also feature your questions, but are done in a manner that has a bartender answering them in "beer terms". Again, different and easier to read than the normal Q and A.

Maxim also has a monthly dumb story that is always interesting to read. A few months back the article involved a guy who lost a bet and had to get breast implants. Well, it turned out that he liked them so much and the women dug them so much, that he kept them for awhile. Yes. I agree, a very dumb story, but nonetheless it was interesting reading.

Almost forgot the monthly "babe" feature. Each month Maxim shines the spotlight on a beautiful woman. A beautiful scantily clad woman! Usually the article is accompanied by a cutting edge interview that will inevitably work it's way toward sex talk or nudity. Okay, I can deal with this! Maxim also features up and coming women in shorter picture and article formats.

Who should read (or ogle) Maxim? I would suggest to anyone mature enough to handle the content. Certainly some will be offended by the language, near nudity, and jokes, but that is the purpose of the magazine.

I used to be a big Men's Health fan, until Maxim came along.

The editors and columnists are fresh, funny, creative, and believe-it-or-not tactful. Despite what others might say, this magazine does not degrade women. My wife is actually the one who subscribed to the magazine (bless her heart). There is no nudity anywhere in the magazine, and all photo shoots/ interviews are done with class. Sure there is the occasional personal question like, "What is your bra size" or "When was the first time you had sex", but you know what? what does that hurt? If they didn't want to answer, they wouldn't have to. But I digress. . .

The articles are usually funny and short (great bathroom reading), and the letters to the editor that they publish are sometimes the funniest thing in the magazine. They have contests for rude jokes and the captions to all of their pictures are a riot.

To boot, there are generally quite a few pages devoted to helpful tips like how to repair scratched CDs or ways to talk yourself out of a speeding ticket. You know, the kinds of things you REALLY use. They have a music/video section that reviews new releases with a very blunt view. No sugar coating here. No, come on. . .tell us what you really think. . . They even rate frozen and convenient foods in a column each month. One month they rated microwave popcorn, the next month they tested several frozen breakfast sandwiches. It is kinda funny to read at first, but then you realize that someone actually did the test.

I would have to say that for the money, you will not find a better, more entertaining magazine. For about a buck an issue (subscription) you can have all the articles about sex, beer, sports, movies, and food that you could ever want. I highly recommend this magazine to anyone--male of female.

Let me preface this by admitting that I am a "Guy"...

Yeah...SURE, I'm an adult with a grown up job and responsibilities, and I KNOW that it's important to be sensitive and understanding...but I'm still a guy.

The simple, ugly truth is...I like fast cars, women, electronic gizmos, drinking, sports, girls in lingerie, cigars, nudie bars, dirty jokes and loud music...and doggone it, I'm not afraid to admit that as a "Guy" sometimes burping and "bathroom humor" is just plain FUNNY!!!

There! I've said it!

The secret is out. We're guys and we LIKE that kind of stuff!

Maxim magazine is everything a "Guy" needs. Heck, Maxim magazine is everything a WOMAN needs!!! It is sort of like having a "handbook" for your boyfriend or husband.

How many relationships and marriages could be saved if only us guys let our significant others read our Maxim magazines? (Uhhh...AFTER we're finished with it, of course.)

Sure...One could say that Maxim magazine is inappropriate, juvenile, and even a tad bit sexist...but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I mean after all...I AM a "Guy", right?

Maxim magazine is relativly similar to that of a toned down Playboy magazine where the women are actually wearing clothes, well not that many clothes.The women in this magazine are usually wearing next to nothing wearing tight shirts and women with their underwear only on.Celebrities often get featured in the pictures sections in this magazine.Jennifer Love Hewitt and others have been photographed for the cover story.

To put it into perspective for those who have never heard of Maxim, this is a man's magazine geared towards men and only for men.Beer,sex advice,jokes,sports,new gadgets,and health/fitness articles are what you will find in this magazine.The magazine has put all of these things into one magazine which makes it so much of a great magazine for guys.It brings best of both worlds, beautiful women and great advice for men.Some women may enjoy it also.Women might even find it humorous because of some of the jokes and articles in the magazine.

Taking everything that a man could every want and putting it all into one magazine was an ingenious idea.Sure there are Sports Illustrated,GQ,Men's Health, and others but they don't offer everything that Maxim does.

Maxim can be used for the playa's in our society always out on the town looking for women to pick up.Plenty of sex advice in this magazine to keep the playa's with new material.

The first issue I ever saw was the one with Jennifer Love Hewitt on the cover.She looked very sexy and seductive with those tight black pants on.Maxim photographers make the women do the most sexiest poses for the pictures which is a definite plus in my book.The lighting on the photos make it another great thing, the darks and lights really show feeling for the pictures.The pictures always look crystal clear and are printed on high quality glossy paper great for putting on your wall.

The girls in the magazine are the reason half of the guys buy this magazine.The other half buy it for the articles (or so they say).
The scantily clad women in this magazine will have guys drooling like crazy.This magazine is intended for men ages 18 to 40.But since it has NO pornography in it, young teenage boys are probably going to want to check it out for the pictures.

Maxim is one of my favorite magazines it has everything about sex, beer, and sports. It is a very nice magazine there is just so much to offer in this magazine it is hard not to get a subscription.

They have things about sports and what is going on in the country. They also have great pointers about sex and how to please your partner better and stuff like that. I suggest every man get a subscription for this magazine it is very good.

The top of the cover to Maxim magazine says it all. The ultimate men?s rag is the basis of all useful information and entertainment for the quintessential American bachelor.


With articles that deal with picking up women, cool jobs, dirty jokes,and countless other topics.


The regular monthly features consist of a variety of interesting and always entertaining items.

You can also count on beautiful scantily clad women to grace the cover along with a few photo spreads each month. The women are not naked, yet it does make a good clean wack off magazine. If such a thing exists?


The abilities of the editors at Maxim magazine should be applauded. They have the ability to consistently entertain month after month. They should make this a weekly rag!


The magazine is aimed towards the young bachelor yet I know of a lot of married guys who read it. A few females I know also like to read the magazine.


If you are an uptight liberal with sand in your privates you will probably get offended by this magazine. If you do get offended by this magazine then you need to reexamine your perspective on life.


I am not advocating a stereotypical bachelor lifestyle for the rest of your life. I am instead advocating an approach to your lifestyle which lends itself to the openness of ones mind.

If you are looking for a highly entertaining men?s magazine then I highly recommend Maxim magazine for its modern look at the young and single male lifestyle.


This magazines approach to life is one of humor. That I will take to the grave.

There is so much to say about this magazine! This zine is more than just revealing pictures of famous hot women, it's a guide to a man's everyday life.

Maxim is filled with funny and serious how-to articles, facts, and special sections in each fun-filled magazine. This magazine is not just for men who seek pictures of famous women, it's for men in general who like what "men like. Beer, sex, cars, sex, money, electronics, gadgets, etc. You will find articles on how to clean a car, to how to take off a bra with one hand. Very useful information, with a little extra.

The magazine is full color and focuses on the younger (22) to middle aged men (51), but teenagers and older people seem to also find Maxim very entertain. Each month has a woman on the cover, they have an interview with this person, and many nice pictures, although this magazine has revealing photos, it's not a porno, and children can purchase it from their local news-stand.

Some of my favorite things in this magazine is when they have something about cars, I absolutely love cars, and Maxim does too, so they have cool things to say and show. Sex, they get into things you want to know, but is too embarrassed to ask or tell, Maxim's staff is not, they will ask whatever they feel, and gets interesting answers!

Next time you are at a bookstore with a magazine rack, instead of looking at Gamepro, Car & Driver, or Guns and Ammo, Or even Playboy, take a look at Maxim, it's a great magazine with a very general focus, that?s what makes it great for everyone!
