I seem to recall some comic giving a rant to the effect of "Used to be
just the magazines on the top shelf, everyone knew where they were,
everyone knew what they were for. Then these FHM, Loaded, etc though -
huh?  What are they, for blokes who "aren't sure" if they want to
masturbate?"

Most of the readership I'm aware of don't recall that much of the
eighties anyway...
