This is a list of magazines primarily marketed to men. The list has been split into subcategories according to the target audience of the magazines. This list includes both 'adult' magazines as well as more mainstream ones. Not included here are car magazines and gadget magazines, many of which are aimed at a primarily male audience.
These publications appeal to a broad male audience. Some skew toward men's fashion, others to health. Most are marketed to a particular age and income demographic.
Lad, lad's, or laddie mags (magazines) (known exclusively as men's magazines in the U.S.) contain non-nude photography (or topless photography in the case of some British lads mags), accompanied by articles about women (usually models or actresses); consumer stories about cars, tools, and toys; and/or guy tales of sex.
