To add to what MA Jay said....

Fact is, is that sex sells and with everything as it is today, it doesn't seem to matter what type of product someone is trying to sell or push onto others. If it is something that bothers you that much, the best approach to take is to email or call the magazine and tell them about your distaste and cancel your subscription. If they get enough calls, emails etc... on the issue, they will change their practices. It's all about the $$. They will do whatever it takes to sell more issues. Really no different than anything else.
