I love the jokes they are my favorite part. I bought this for my boyfriend and I think I read it more than he does!

This magazine makes a great gift for any adult males in your life. I gave it to my hubby for Christmas, and he enjoys both the articles and the pictorials. It is not quite as graphic as some of the other men's magazines, but it still has lots of how-to articles, saucy pics, and potty humor. It was a great value & a great gift. I will continue to recommend it to others for the men in their lives.

I once had a crush on a girl in 7th grade who had a family member from Cuba or Mexico. Latin women look good. too! Mom won't let me keep PLAYBOY in the house; but bikini clad women or women in negligees are alright with my mom. They had a good article for my prophecy writing about the top 15 hotspots in the world today! Even wanted to cite that in my writing; but I could not. I bought this magazine for $1.00 an issue.

I never received a copy of this magazine i am still waiting on my first issue.

This mag is for me, and it was great when I was in iraq, and it is still great here.

Ordered a subscription to this magazine over a month ago. It was a Christmas present, and the first issue still hasn't arrived yet!

I cancelled the subscription to Maxim after the first issue because it was a gift and it was not permitted. I have not yet recieved a refund for the remaining issues nor have i heard anything back from Dennis Publishing.

Well there is eye candy on the cover but that's about all there is to it. It's Cosmo for twenty-something metrosexuals. Can I give it a -5 stars? I got a free 1 year subscription on a lark 2 years ago and it's still coming. I moved without telling them and they tracked me down. It's like a bad cold, it just won't go away! :(

I ordered this magazine 2 months ago, and have yet to receive a issue. I am pretty irritated by the latency and will not be ordering magazines via amazon in the future...

Still have not received anything. Should have zero stars but I see I am forced to rate at 1 star.

I still have not received this. Obviously I can't review something I haven't seen. Where is my order???????

bought as a bday present for my bro, he received the first issue within 2 months, good stuff!!

Talk about going downhill.

I had subscribed to Maxim for about 2 years back around 2000/2001 and enjoyed every single issue. They were all great reading. Sure, the chicks are nice to look at, but porn totally trumps them there, so it's the meat of the mag that kept my subscriptions rolling. Eventually, I went into school and, being the penny-pincher that I was and with the promotional price of a subscription finally hitting its end, I let it run out.

Well, here we are years later in 2007 and I get another promotional subscription offer. Remembering the manly goodness, I send in my check and, after a few weeks, receive my first issue. On my next trip to the toilet, I crack open my first Maxim in years... and what the @#%$ happened? First of all, the magazine is half the size it used to be, but not only that, but the ads-to-content ratio has gotten ridiculous. The content that is there is decent so far, but compared to what it used to be, it's pretty disappointing. And here I am, with another 11 months worth of these things coming to me. Ah, well, at least I'm only out 10 bucks.

Maxim: what happened?

Nice magazine, incredible girls and fun articules, but if you have a po.box like me dont suscribe, USPS take a lot of my magazines.

I like Maxim because it covers a broad spectrum of topics similar to my girlfriend's favorite magazine- Cosmopolitan. There are articles about cars, gadgets, celebrities, fashion, and of course sex. I would say that they are interesting and original most of the time and are very easy to understand. The tips on how to be a great lover in bed are OK but nothing more. If you rely on them or in general on magazine articles to learn about advanced secrets then your long term success with women may be questionable. That's why instead of relying on such tips to keep my girl very satisfied I use bestsellers such as scientifcally guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex. Overall Maxim is superior for the top quality entertaining (eye candies plus interesting light articles) it offers to males. That's why I recommend it. Enjoy!

We always get the magazines very shortly after ordering! We have plenty of time to renew so we don't miss any issues. It is very cheap to order! It's a great magazine!

Cant say much more than Hot Chicks, Great Articles, Tons of Laughs. Greatest magazine around. A Must have for any guy.

I've been subscribing to Maxim and FHM for several years now and as a card carrying, certified member of the male population, I feel comfortable in asserting that these are just about the perfect mens magazines. Who else is going to package such useful nuggets of information as how to avoid dying in a plane crash, how to make the perfect italian sausage, and where to get a bunch of cool consumer products that I should probably be using (brainwashed you say...maybe, but at least I am well groomed!). Maxim really is the total package, all wrapped up into a neat little magazine with the occasional scantily clad hottie thrown here and there for effect. If you are a female and have not read Maxim, you need to do so immediately if you ever want to understand the short-attention-span prone psycosis of the average guy (think cosmo for men).

Not the maxim i remember from a few years ago, this was a very slim issue without even one redeeming value.
sorry i subscribed to it again.

I paid for this subscription over 2 months ago and have yet to receive a single issue?? So, I guess I can't tell you what I think about the magazine.

Last year I was offered a couple of free magazine subscriptions when some of my frequent flyer miles were about to expire. I had a dim recollection of thumbing through a few issues of Maxim at newsstands and feeling a bit of danger as I snuck a peek at some partially clad women within. Well the minute I started receiving this silly periodical I was put in my place BIG-TIME! On the cover of one of the first issues I received was that no-talent, teenybopper sister of Hillary Duff who is trying to glom on to her more-talented sibling's sucess to advance her own "career".... what's her name?... Hailey! Ewwww, I know Hillary Duff's sisters name, purge me, exorcise me! Anyway, with the exception of a few truly stunning and somewhat nude women sprinkled occasionally throughout the various issues, there is nothing much to look at or read here. Don't waste your money on this ad-stuffed trash. In my case, it now makes a direct trip to my recycling bin.

I love this magazine. have subscribed since it started and I always loved it's sexy women (cuz i'm one ;) hilarious and satyr filled articles and it's no-nonsense attitude.
I agree with another reviewer that there is a definite diffrence as of late but until it gets real horrible i'll keep on reading.

I've been a loyal subscriber since 1998 and have always enjoyed the magazine. Something happened to them in early 2006 - they've either been bought or have hired a new editor / staff or something. This magazine is absolutely terrible now. All ads, fewer and fewer pictures of babes in each issue, and the hilarious articles are now long gone. My last two issues (Sept and Oct) were in the trash within minutes of pulling them from my mailbox. I'm canceling my subscription.

Maxim is a good magazines for adult males. I enjoy all articles and their website, too. It is more affordable subscrition.

When this mag first came out I thought it would be another mindless T&A mag. I was surprised to find that it actually had some readable and informative articles. Even this lass found the male oriented humor funny. But, now it has sadly become "Playboy lite." The pictures are too glossy, they have fewer articles, and 60% of it is advertising. When they go back to a more moderate middle groud I will try it again.

Once upon a time this was a good magazine worth reading cover to cover. Unfortunately they've slowly been replacing content with more and more advertising. As the magazine currently stands you could probably finish reading the actual "content" in about an hour. The rest is advertising and BS. This magazine jumped the shark a long long time ago. Just let it die already like it's supposed to.

Okay so the pictures of the girls are not my thing but where else can you read a fresh look about cars, eating healthy and fashion? Ladies, this is a must read in order to talk to men! It features fun topics sure to entertain and assist in carrying conversation with all the guys!

...1) I can't;
2) on second thought, it deserves at least one star for having some silly, funny stuff that you don't find in other magazines.

That said, it is grossly overrated. How is it consistently in the top sellers list? Well, there are as many millions of folks with a below average IQ as there are above average. It's too bad they can't play up the silly humor a bit more while leaving the abhorrent juvenileness out. The images are generally trashy and sometimes airbrushed to the point that it looks fake and ridiculous--they could improve the quality of the photos a LOT.

Admit it, you would probably hide an issue if you ran into anyone you actually respected. Doesn't that say it all? Reconsider the standards you are setting for yourself, and respect your own brain, too.

I certainly do hope one of these days that Maxim magazing will get women who are small-breasted equal time.

That's all I have to say.

I've been a subscriber for several years now. I was trying to decide between maxim and stuff. I chose maxim because the info is very random and entertaining (i.e. how to do doughnuts in your car, ect.) They do have some photos of actors and such, but many were of people from other countries and just other pretty girls you may have never heard of... I would suggest this magazine.

I've been a female Maxim subsriber since I discovered it at my boyfriend's house 5 years ago. This magazine is far superior to the recycled, pandering crap offered in women's magazines like Cosmopolitian. In Maxim, there are of course the requisite (and good) sex tips, but you also get excellent jokes, taste testing and product comparisons, thrilling and exhaustive true crime features, war and international stories, collected weird stories from around the world, and important "how-to's" on subjects like scamming free cable, getting comped in casinos, playing poker, and impressing your friends in other ways.

As a skin rag, Maxim does a decent job of presenting women in sexy but tasteful photographs. It's been fun to see TV stars like Laura Prepon looking stunning and nothing like their TV characters on the pages of Maxim magazine. I swear I read it for the articles, though!

I personally have a current 4-year subscription to Maxim Magazine. The magazine has a unique but interesting way of incorporating all of the topics a man could possibly want into one single piece of reading material. Women, sports, the latest tech-gadget reviews, automotives, and much more are all covered. The best part, as I read in an earlier review, is that the magazine is put together in an easy-to-understand format. The humorous pictures are great to look at if you're in need of a good laugh. The girls featured in the magazine are cute, although not extremely hot always. This is fine for me, as the skimpy clothing they wear leaves a lot to the imagination. I prefer it that way. So for me, I based my rating on the magazine as a whole and not individual issues. Some issues in my opinion only score 1 or 2 stars out of 5, while other issues easily get the highest rating. So I went with a 4 out of 5, with the majority of the issues being worth the money. I recommend it.

this magazine has too many gadgets. i'm a consumer of useful products but i don't want to be consumed by the product! putting cheap shiny gadgets next to scantly clothed wemon may be effective on you average low brow american, but not on chikiwawa. and i don't care for the wemon either. this is just chikiwawa's opinion, but i waould prefer mediteranian, and south american wemon only. (hispanic 100% or very little indian blood please) no anglo wemon. sorry but have grown up in america of parents of iberian descent i am sick and tired of this long legged, long skulled blond, heavy chested, blue eyed ideal of blond beauty forced on me by this racist society!

Nothing too serious here. If you have time to kill and are looking for some straightforward and interesting reading it's not a bad publication. Given its slant, it is pretty concise and comprehensive for its intended readers.

Men are Pigs.

No seriously, it's true. I'm one, and I totally admit it: I'm a Pig. So are my colleagues, all good Pig Brothers. We're good with it, Kimosabe.

Total Pigs. So are you, if you're a dude, scoping out the pouty, oiled-up, squatting talent on the cover of Maxim, festooned in glory with all of 1 square inch of fabric gracing her, um, natural endowments.

Example? Why not. I have a mad-steppin' office with a great view of the mountains. No, seriously, it's killer: looking out my extra-tall plate glass windows up at the Wasatch Front, especially when the sky is a nice sizzling cobalt blue, makes you feel like you're walking into one of those Frederick Remington old west landscapes.

And with all that, you know what brings me and my colleagues right smack up against the window---THWAPP!---like a bunch of alley cats hopped up on catnip?

That's right: Talent. Girl Talent. Hot chicks in tight skirts. Mini-skirts, mind you, not the more modest nun-like variety. Long, silky hair, black, blonde, red. I don't know what's going on in my office building, it's like that scene out of "Last Action Hero" with all the fantasyland LA uber-hotties---but whatever it is, even if it is only Rock n'Roll---well, I like it.

Hell, even if we're closing up the $25 million Ublehumpf deal, one of my fellow VPs, in mid-sentence, will glance towards the window, his eyes do this funny GPS-bomb laser lock, and the next thing you know, both of us will be across the office in a sprint, noses against the glass.

Maxim Magazine is all about that. It's about Talent. Young, busty, silky-haired girlies. Preferably scantily clad. And to reverse the old Playboy canard, I only read Maxim for the pictures.

Are you not Entertained?

Oh wait, that was *Maximus*, the Roman general turned uber-gladiator, not *Maxim*, a magazine designed with the Inner Pig in mind, a glorious battle cry of toned-to-perfection suntanned nubile flesh, dedicated to the sensible proposition that Men and Women are *very* different.

Vive la difference!

Listen: I am a media-junkie. I get a daily hyperdose of financial and political dispatches from the far corners of the planet. I have a flatscreen monitor in my office with CNBC practically burned into the channel selector. I take the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The Financial Times, the New York Times, and about a hundred lesser magazines.

And you know something? I'm happy to sweep 'em all into the round file and spend a few minutes ogling some hardbodied little creature squatting on her haunches in dental floss---and that, plus a bunch of factoids designed with the ADD-set in mind, is Maxim. And you know what? In this hopelessly uptight, neo-Puritan, politically correct age, God bless it!

Oink-Oink.
