I find that to be some of the best stuff in Stereophile and R&T.Too bad I missed the U.K. sexy rags. I always thought the U.S. type of was either too glossy and superficial (Playboy) or or simply crude and superficial. Since childhood, I always felt that the Europeans seemed to have more depth of character in many ways.
And you wouldn't believe what was used for seductive music when I was young. Pure syrupy schmaltz or mindless, commercial jazz. (If you liked real jazz, there were few women in the general population who shared that passion. - just as in audio. So I just pandered to their tastes and had a good time. (Those relationships didn't last, of course.)
It's nice when music and the lust/love/infatuation thing clicks. My girlfriend and I both like classical and jazz, although her tastes are a bit limited compared to mine. However, there's enough in common to share.
Sounds like a good topic for a new thread.
