Why Men Buy Those FHMs and Unos
8 May
It’s quite interesting to analyze what people prefer to read nowadays. Observing this site, I tend to get lots of hits when I discuss Playboy or FHM than some serious stuff like the Death of a Patriot or some political issue (which I get a lot of hits on http://newphilrevolution.blogspot.com)
Sex sells, really. Some people don’t know why but I have some ideas why. People like to imagine things. People like sex not because of the “act” rather because of the novelty attached to it.
For example, why are we so engrossed with men’s magazines, when its just 30% baring and 70% content? Sex, like any other, is a gadget, an emotive one. Those real tech gadgets are symbols of sex, albeit, without an emotive value.
Sex is a must-have, like real gadgets. Sex is what you must get to feel that “you’re in”. For others though, sex is…well…a good-to-have.
Men’s magazines, like Playboy, FHM, Uno and Manual should not be hypocritical and say that they’re not selling sex. They are. In fact, even if they don’t show pink nipples or brown bushes, they still sell sex. These magazines offer refuge to the saint as well as to the sinner. It satiates primal desires that often are lodged deep inside everyone’s emotive cavities.
So, don’t believe that crap when your husband tells you that the reason he’s buying all those FHM, Uno and Manual that he’s in for the gadgets. Sure, that’s true.
He’s really reading those articles about cars and gadgets because he likes sex.
