What happened to fitness?

I dont know about you, but there was  a time when fitness was about getting and staying healthy or training for a particular sport. When did it all become about getting laid?

I know, that would be nice too. But seriously, when did that shift happen? Almost any fitness site that you go to now has sex tips, dating advice, flirting tips or some other nonsense. And its usually pretty high up on the page, right after some new workout theyre touting. They even have exercises that they claim will make your lady scream your name in bed. Now, Im not saying they wont, but what the f*%k?

Is this what magazine editors think all men think about? Sex and women and pleasing them? I would feel insulted except I know its partly true. Its true from the imbeciles at the gym that show off for the girls, its true from the guys with 14″ guns wearing tank tops, its true from most mens insecurity about their size(Im looking at you YellowSun). But really, lets move past it already. Lets realize that every activity in a man’s life doesnt have to boil down to sex. We dont want high paying jobs for sex. We dont want fast cars for sex. We dont want to work out for sex. So stop shoving it down our throats.

If they have to give dating advice, thats fine. I guess thats what Ted in marketing told them would sell magazines. But dont mix it in with every other section. For once, lets remove sex from an aspect of our lives.
