Men's lifestyle magazines [ edit ]

Men's lifestyle magazines ( lad mags in the UK and specifically men's magazines in North America) were popular in the 1990 and 2000s, focusing on a mix of "sex, sport, gadgets and grooming tips". ^[3] From the early 2000s, sales of these magazines declined very substantially as the internet provided the same content (and particularly more graphic pornography) for free.
