The entertainment section - Where the most trites of things that are meant to make you look and feel like a better fag are advertised. This includes a selection of sometimes ok music coupled with a parade of atrocities.
The sex/health advice section - Where a generally well meaning doctor tells you what is the cause of your genital warts/ shyphilis, or why your otherwise faithful boyfiend is bonking your best mate.
Right in the middle of this stands the porn section. In the past this section had to place little censoring stars where the male member was shown. Now you can have graphic sex in your hands for free and every week.
Near the end you get the pics of fags having fun, generally looking like cattle ready to be shipped to Gran Canaria for more sex, cries of ''Fab!'' and general stereotypes to be spread even more.
These publications are as widespread as STI's and are meant to be a tool of education and emancipation for the gay community. Why, I have never understood.

My housemate has a subscription to Butt. In spite of it being a xeroxed-y fanzine with a lot of cock in it, there's some wonderful articles and very little in the way of stereotyping 'Oooh, get her' type stuff in there. Can't recommend it enough.
I'm surprised that the two horniest men on the internet [TM], Rob 'I cannot go two minutes without mentioning [/undermining] my hetrosexuality' Instigator and !"£$% 'they'd better invent braille porn in the next 6 months or I will literally drown in my own semen' aren't posting more in this thread. T&B is almost certainly onto something...
