    a normal porno mag is different, this stuff is all about rape + murder!
    It's not as bad as you make it sound, yes it's an adult mag, with some extreme articles and the latest issue does have an article about serial killer groupies and something about a Dallas murderer who liked to steal his victims eyeballs, but it doesn't promote or glorify rape + murder.
    Some articles can make you say OMG! sometimes, but it doesn't cross any lines - ie... it's not a specialist sicko magazine, it's legal and you can get it in your local newsagent.
    Saying that, it definitely won't be to everbody's taste.

    I used to have a flatmate who bought this. She used to leave it out on the kitchen table to freak out the nursing students who used to !!!!!! her off by treating her as weird because she was a lesbian.

    I thought it was quite an interesting read. It has stories about some very extreme stuff but it doesn't fetishise it's subjects either by glorifying them or through the titillating horror of the tabloids. It actually provides very detached objective reportage. Your reaction as a reader is entirely your own. If you view this magazine as extreme !!!!!! it's because you're turned on by the subjects covered not because they're covered in a titillating manner.
  • Thanks love reading about the freaks. Love, A Freak!
  • @Lewt - I have, I ordered this free sample

    @zounds - totally agree, I went a bit over the top with my description.

    @kittiwoz - I'm not turned on by this. I was just saying that its about the darker side of sex. Isn't that true?
