Canadian Reacts to the Scandalous Magazines Germans Teens Grew Up With
Sign up here to receive updates the novel Lilian is writing: shorturl.at/jWyYw
BRAVO - an iconic German teen magazine (yes they expanded it to a few other European countries as well) that was a part of many teenager's lives and was a part of their coming of age journeys from the 60s until its declining popularity with the rise of the internet and social media.
In this video, I show my Canadian wife Alexis the magazines my generation grew up with, including all the great spicy details we learned from the Dr. Sommer Team and the controversial "Body Checks"... A little shocking for the prude North American mentality?
Check out their website here: www.bravo.de/
We hope you enjoyed this video!

    I read them and kinda felt they were brainwashing me with sexist stereotypes and norms. One the one hand tBravo encouraged segzual awareness and emancipation in teen girls, but at the same time it replicated solely sexist stereotypes revolving around gender. Don't recall any LGBT visibility but it was the 2000s so maybe it was too early. The magazine also solely focused on what teen girls should look like and behave like, nothing about mental health or intellectual pursuits. My earlier teens were in Toronto and I recall early 2000s Teen Magazine and Claire was much less hypersegzualing teen girls.

    How about promoting prophylactics , dental dams , and condoms rather than this insane notion that ‘getting checked often ‘ is the answer ! Bloggers and others are not helping with the spread of STD’s and other diseases that can lead to cancers.

    I fell in love with this person, I thought they were gay , we flirted with each other and talked about stuff and I thought she would like me back . We were texting and I asked her stuff about the queer club at school and why she was a part of it and she said she’s just an ally. She looks so pretty and she looks gay but she’s not.

    My Bravo time was in the 90s and even back then they had the BodyCheck but I think it was fairly new then, think it was a new feature that they included at some point in the 90s. Tbh I was always wondering how those teens could show their faces at school ever again with all their classmates seeing their naked pic in Bravo 😳😅 But I agree that Dr Sommer could be quite helpful when you didn't really feel like talking to your parents about these things. If anything, it made you realize that all kids your age are concerned about similar things and that it's totally normal.

    Scandalous 🤭 well in India there would have been riots if such a magazine was published for teens.. sex was and still is such a taboo topic here. My grandmother would ask me to cover my eyes if a kissing scene showed up in some English show/movie that we were watching. Although we got a glimpse of the sex advice columns in the regular mags and newspaper. Other than that as teens from an all girls school we were obsessed with Sydney Sheldon novels and some Mills & Boons - so unrealistic and tantalising stuff. Haha.

    I have tried so hard to explain this magazine to my American friends! They just can't comprehend the idea 😂 Bravo was helpful and entertaining growing up, but it has been criticized for certain viewpoints as well. For me, for example, it "talked me out of" accepting that I'm bi/ queer when I was 13ish... There was an article that explained bisexuality (this was about 1992, yes I'm that old). The article said something like: bisexuals have a really hard life because they'll always want both a man and a woman and can never be satisfied. I was like, hell no, I don't wanna be like that... It was not a good experience for me for sure, and it took me some years to get over my fear/internalized biphobia!

    In the 90s, there were even hit songs aimed at the teenage market going strong in Germany that had prevention from STI as their main lyrical theme, but in a playful way. "Use A Billy Boy" comes to mind. Also, the rap in "Love Message". I'm sure there were more songs of covert condom advertising but cannot come up with any other song title right now. Artists all over the world were raising awareness for prevention of AIDS since the 80s, and doing numerous benefits for the good cause of finding a cure. Bravo and Dr Sommer was also at the forefront of this. Good to find out that there is mental health content now, too. Not so much in the 90s.

    Core memory unlocked - we had these in Poland too, and I used to spend all my money on these. But they were a bit more tame, with no naked photos and such. I mean, my mom approved of these magazines after all. But what I remember the most were all the accessories, the cheap earrings and bracelets.

They also had Bravo TV and I remember my grandma turning the TV off when they were talking about foreplay. Nowadays, everything is available online so no need to spend that much money on all the magazines anymore.
