That is the male way. That is about men assuming women want the same as men. Like men, women do want to read sensual magazines but there is a difference between what women and men find sexy. That is what I have realised. I've found women are much more turned on by eroticism rather than simple pornography.
Women respond sensually to the written word, which is why the Black Lace novels sell so well.
They like to use their imagination. Women like looking at pictures which show men and women together in erotic embraces which are loving and sexy. But they prefer illustrations and drawings rather than the too realistic photograph. So we use artwork because it is more erotic. The success of the formula has surprised her.
