I actually used to read it until the issue in which they had an article, pictures included, showing a step by step how to have a nooner with a married man.
Haven’t read it since - pure garbage.
I remember the `nooner’ feature from around 1980, IIRC.
Throughout the ‘70s, Cosmo did mostly features on how to decorate an apartment, romantic meals for two, even articles on literary figures & their private lives. Much more small print reading then than now. Clothing & travel, too. Relationship sort of thing.
As a guy, of course, I read Cosmo to find out what women were being `taught’ and for the frequent photos of bare bosomed women that belonged more in an early Playboy than in a women’s magazine. Maybe they were telling their female readers this is what you’re supposed to look like if you want to find somebody.
Anyway, I looked at this month’s Cosmo in the library while my car was being worked on and, geez, it has really turned into well, smut. And the language young women use nowadays. Oh, well.
