FS magazine

excellent articles, written from a nonbiased point of view. embraces the constantly changing gay community with open arms.

I mean who doesn't love to read about sex. I also understand the importance or awareness of HIV testing, but when it comes to most of the pages. It doesn't need to be so. Maybe three good articles and the rest of the 49 pages are about HIV testing, for $3.00 it just depends on you.

This magazine is AMAZING ... in that it purports to be "The Fit and Sexy Gay Mag," when nearly every page of the magazine is an advertisement or article encouraging testing/treatment/prevention of HIV and a variety of sexually transmitted diseases ("STDs"). Add to that the two feature articles about HIV. Then, add the "iListings": page after page of support groups, drop-in clinics, helplines, and, oh yeah, some hospitals — all with a focus on HIV/STD risks. There is one paragraph that mentions exercise as a positive thing, but no exercise or fitness recommendations or demonstrations. Add to those downers the perhaps unintentionally fortunate fact that the app crashes frequently, and, well, you get the picture. If you don't, let me draw it for you, verbally: "sex=disease / STD testing=fitness." Roughly 46 of this mag's 58 pages will hammer that home to you. Get it? (You will, if you have sex.)
