Pretending that the swimsuit issue is different from Playboy is dangerous. By masquerading as mainstream, as Maxim and Details do, it allows readers to duck issues of exploitation. Just because you have to look through wet bathing suits to see nipples doesn't mean you should escape all feelings of shame and secrecy. To see these images, you should have to walk to the back of the video store, through those western-style swinging doors that make you think of a brothel.

Luckily, I'm male, and don't have to come into contact with the seat I'm standing over, and I indulge myself in what has to be done. I am, in the process, distracted by the warning label next to the smoke detector. "Tampering with the smoke detector," it reads, "is strictly prohibited." I take...
