Why not? It's one of the few things in the world that almost everyone can agree is worth looking at.

Females are pretty and I thank god that I live in an age where I can see the especially pretty ones on the cover of a magazine (there was a time, no doubt, that a man [or woman] could go their whole life without ever seeing perfection in the female form). That's not a bad thing.

What's so wrong with that?

Would you feel uncomfortable/angry if your entire post replaced 'female' with 'male'?

not at all. and I'm a heterosexual male.

I think we spend too much time demonizing basic human sexuality, and not enough time accepting and understanding it.

removing all semi naked pictures off magazine covers will not change the fact that people find other people sexually attractive...what it will do is make people feel terrible for having natural feelings.

I say this as a sole male bought up in a feminist household. It took me a long time to realise that looking at the opposite sex was not actually a thought crime.
