My fiance wants a subscription to Maxim?

Ok so me and my fiance have been together for 2 years, and will be getting married this march. When we first made it official between us he had a subscription to Maxim magazine, when I told him I didnt feel comfortable with that he canceled it. Now he wants it again, but all it does is have half naked woman in it, and I dont want him google eyeing them. He says Im just being immature and insecure. But he just doesnt get that it really hurts my feelings, and I feel those magazines are disgusting. So is he right??? And how can I just get over it?, cause I know there are women who dont. And please dont say hes with yu and thats all that matters because it still makes me made regardless. HELP PLEASE...GUYS AND GIRLS OPINIONS???

    I live in the UK so unless the US version is markedly different to ours I don't see what the issue is. Yes there are scantily dressed females in it, there are also articles about sport,politics,health etc. It's a magazine aimed at men and men like looking at attractive women but his magazine isn't the only place he'll come across them. Are you going to tell him to avert his eyes from billboards,make him wear blinkers in the street. I'm not being facile it's a genuine question your so insecure that you don't want him to subscribe to a basically harmless and occasionally informative magazine, what's the next step when he's given this up no more films,T.V or holidays at the coast because he may glance an attractive female and this will 'hurt' your feelings. Providing he isn't leering at women in the street, making direct and hurtful comparisons between you and the models and treats you with respect, then I'm afraid I agree with him. If you are genuinely this insecure I suggest you take practical steps to adresss that problem, because realistically the female population of the world are not going to start wearing burkhas in order for you to feel secure.

    Don't be that girl. You make it seem as if Maxim is hardcore pornography. No matter what you think or say about him he's always going to be a guy. always going to be looking at other women. Whether they're naked or clothed. We're guys, it's in our nature. When women try to change us things don't go too well. Let him be...and yes you ARE being insecure.

    the reason he says that you are being immature and insecure, is because you are being immature and insecure. Trust me when I say that your insecurities could and will get old for him after some time. In my first marriage after a few years of her insecurities and never believing me. I told her that she needed help to get over her fears because it was driving me away. Remember I said this was my first wife, why do you think we got divorced, it was because she refused to change.

    Yes, you are extremely insecure and immature. Those girls are PAID to be half naked and entertain men. He doesn't have a chance with them and he probably doesn't want them anyway. Let him look, its not a big deal

    Look at it this way. Maxim is very much like a men's version of Cosmo. Let it go. It's not worth the aggravation!
