Such as ' How to find your lovers secret love spots' or perhaps 'Do you have secret feelings' for your father! All this is on display for impressionable, early teens!

Blase is more like it.

Deleted User	I couldn't help noticing the title of one article in Glamour Magazine in the check out line this afternoon: How to Have Better Sex in 5 Seconds I am puzzled because I figured it had to have been written by a man...and I though Glamour had an all female stff?
