Cosmo girls really do have more fun! How popular magazine gives women a more positive attitude to sex | Mail Online
A new study has shown how reading magazines such as Cosmopolitan magazine gives its female readers a more positive attitude to premarital sex.
Research from the University of Michigan, published in Psychology of Women Quarterly, evaluated 160 participants' reactions after reading women's magazines.
The results revealed that, in the short term, a woman who reads 'common sexual scripts' from Cosmopolitan is more likely to describe premarital sex as a 'recreational' activity, rather than a 'risky' one.
