When I think of Maxim magazine, I immediately think of the gorgeous cover girls. I mean unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years you have seen Maxim magazine on the newsstands or on television, it has been virtually everywhere. Each month there is a new gorgeous actress or model on the cover, serving all the men with a healthy does of eye candy, but Maxim is so much more than a pretty face.
Each magazine is a witty, sometimes satirical look at news, sports, music, movies, fashion, you name it and it's probably in Maxim magazine. But, somehow it never gets sickening, and it never seems fake or forced. Maxim is quite possibly the realest entertainment rag there is, it just works, and comes across as a witty, sarcastic outlook on life.
As with all magazines, each issue has its share of monthly departments, "Says Her," "Circus Maximus," "How to...," "The Edge," "Ask Dr. Maxim," and many others like a monthly caption contest where you can win awards ranging from a Little Nicky DVD and Flask, to Fender Guitars, just about everything.
But each article in the magazine is well worth the subscription price. The topics range from the truly childish, "100 Things To Do Before You Die" and "The Greatest Guy Movies," to genuinely intriguing subject matter. Maxim also contains its share of really good interviews, not only with the girls, but with leading actors, directors, newscasters, anyone who is on top of their game in the entertainment industry. I definitely feel that everyone should give this rag a try, especially the women.
I know that the cover girls tend to turn the woman audience off, but this magazine is not just an adolescent version of Playboy, it's a genuinely interesting magazine. Sure, some of the witty articles and the "Circus Maximus" feature can be sophomoric and juvenile, but aren't we all now and then? Maxim is just a good magazine that pokes fun and does what it sets out to do, entertains.

Maxim, what was life before I found this wonderful magazine. I can truly say that this magazine is on that is worth reading from start to finish. The whole layout is wonderful, it starts with the letters from readers, (always a joy) and then goes to jokes. This is truly the gem part. There are always contests that everyday guys like you and me can enjoy and actually win! Plus I cant forget the photos, Oh the photos, they always feature the hottest women in the world, and they are always scantilly clad. The magazine does its fair job of everyday reporting on issues, but always from a mans point of view. If the women reading this think that this is such a chauvinistic magazine and so am i, well then check out the readers letters from women who read the magazine. They swear up and down that this truly is the best thing to happen to men since women. Check it out

Prior to Maxim, I was a subscriber to Men's Health and when I started getting that a few years ago I thought MH was the best. I was psyched to finally get a humorous magazine that was intended for men. Then I found Maxim and was a changed man! I thought MH was humorous, but Maxim absolutely KILLS me! When I get an issue, I first scan all the great pictures in the magazine (there are many!). Then on the second pass, I read the articles and usually find myself laughing hysterically. Another great feature is having a woman on the cover of a magazine instead of a bare-chested man makes me feel a little better about leaving it on my coffee table. Truly my favorite magazine and I just subscribed to Stuff (a spin-off of Maxim) in the hopes of having 2 great mags a month. Easily worth the piddly subscription fee.

Okay, okay, I am a girl, but I hafta admit, I like this magazine. Its quite funny to sit and watch men turn the magazine every way possible, just at the chance that they might see something theyre not supposed to see (i.e., I see a nipple...) My boyfriend gets this magazine in the mail, when we first started going out, I found this out and freaked...how dare he, but... I know, reality check, these are massively unobtainable women in a magazine... who cares? Now, I find myself looking thru the magazine every month... "Who knew that the "virgin", Jennifer Love, could look that sexy?" "Are my breasts that big", etc.... This magazine is great especially considering the fact that they have every possible way to get the male subscribers excited without the women actually getting naked...

After picking up a copy of MAXIM at a store I worked at several years ago I was instantly hooked. Great photos, even better jokes, and the only "Letters to the Editor" section that has ever entertained me in any magazine I have ever read, not to mention a subscription is a bargain. I subscribed the next week! MAXIM is an incredible mix of humor, sex, and fashion that can be best described as a Cosmo for men. Tips on how to improve your sex life, articles about the craziest things from around the world, interviews with your favorite actors and actresses, MAXIM has just about everything the young professional man could ask for. MAXIM even has a monthly contest for great prizes where you can come up with a smart-ass caption for the most oddball photos they can find. If your caption is chosen you get the prize, plus your caption is published in the next issue.
Some women may find this magazine to be sexist and rude but in a way it is no more sexist than Cosmo, just that MAXIM has the guts to be upfront about it. Open-minded women will probably love this magazine because many of the articles benefit them as well (Such as the sex tips that their boyfriends may start to use after reading the magazine).
I would recommend this magazine to any man, regardless of race, color, or creed, and in fact I would recommend gift subscriptions for friends, brothers, and mature children. If you try MAXIM and enjoy it try their other magazine called STUFF. Just as crazy as MAXIM it might as well be called MAXIM II. Definately harder to find but worth checking out.

In the latest issue of Maxim magazine I came across the beautiful Shannon Elizabeth. The layout was so unbelievable especially after seeing her do her thing in the movie American Pie. Cause of the collection of pictures I experienced I have recently bought 12 issues of Maxim, in hope the next 12 women who pose for the magazine will be more beautiful then Shannon Elizabeth. But that will be extremely hard. So I highly recommend that everyone buy this magazine or even better subscribe. As a last note I think that Maxim mag should have included more pictures of Shannon Elizabeth because she is the most beautiful creature to be on this world.

Maxim is the ultimate men's magazine. Well by men I mean the stereotypical majority. The beer-loving, sports-watching, sex-crazed male. Well, this magazine is for you. Great pics of scantily clad women and, strangely enough, great articles. I admit, I subscribed after seeing some of the covers of the magazine, but after my first issue, I discovered it was more. Some articles cover topics like conspiracies, pick-up lines, and the best actors of all time. The magazine may be too provocative for some readers, however, and I suggest you buy an issue before subscribing. I, for one, love this magazine and just renewed my subscription last week.

There is not a better magazine in existence for the millenium man. It has all the info you need to get through the day or the rest of your life. It will give you good advice on how to exit after a one night stand to the best stance to use during a gunfight. They cover all the bases from how to get some in a foreign country to how to survive in the freezing wilderness overnight. Oh, and to top it all off they have sexy spreads of the most popular actresses and models.
This magazine is also classy enough to leave out on the coffee table. You won't have to hide it when your mom visits. Don't just get it for yourself, give your old college buddy a subscription. I guarantee he'll love it, plus every month he will be reminded what a great pal you are.

It's about time that we men got some good reading.News stands are always filled with women's magazines from left to right from make-up magazines to sponge weekly.Then some cool guys decided to make a mag with a man's prospective.So we got maxim, a testosterone filled mag with everything from how to take off a bra with one hand to how to pleasure a woman. Every issue comes with a beautiful woman on the cover and some interesting stories to boot. All the small pictures in the book comes with a hilarious caption.Mainly the book s about men,sex,beer and other cool guy stuff.In its second year, maxim has developed a great run with a great following and has created a good buzz in the industry.The only draw back would be that it is only published 10 times a year but at 12 dollars membership it's a steal.cover price is 3.50.Go get a copy and enjoy

Maxim magazine is simply put the best magazine known to man. As their slogan states, Sex, sports, beer, gadgets, clothes and fitness, what more is there to life? This magazine is a man's version of Cosmo but it is so well written and fun to read most women like it too. Every month there are jokes, cover girls, reviews of things like tourist destinations, microwave foods, gadgets, chairs, barbecues basically anything. There are even interviews with tv/movie/musical stars that are informative and fun. These are not your basic interviews. Like "Cosmo", there are tips about women. But unlike "Cosmo", there are also bar tricks, pictures of sports injuries, and other stuff that only a man can enjoy. Basically, there is lots of useless information but this magazine is a must for any guy. You will thank me for turning you on to this publication.
