Many congratulations to your imaginary husband Idris Elba for landing the September cover of Details! And congratulations to Details' Adam Sachs for writing one of the most panty-dropping sentences ever committed to print:
Movies, nice dinners and indie rock concerts are the new face of childlessness, at least according to a piece in this month's Details titled "The No-Baby Boom," the latest of many magazine articles about the gradual decrease in "worldwide" eagerness to reproduce. Using his own childless existence as anecdotal anchor,…
To write a tea instructional is to wade into darkly tannic waters long ago claimed by giants like Orwell and Douglas Adams. That hasn't stopped Christopher Hitchens, who writes an open letter on the subject. Nor shall it stop me.
Sometimes a dude has problems — usually about sex or money. But since therapy's for sissies, he turns to something a little more badass: a sweat lodge. Details has the story.
Heteronormative eyecandy of the day: Behind-the-scenes video from the Details photoshoots of the dreamy dudes from True Blood. File under Things That Don't Suck, even though Lafayette has been left out. (Click to watch.) [Details]
Jeff Gordinier's piece in Details on "The Remasculated Man" is less obnoxious than it could be, but it still reveals how difficult it is to talk about modern masculinity without falling back on lame testicular cliches.
For its 10th Anniversary issue, Details decided to go in a slightly weird direction, celebrating "The Remasculation of the American Man" by putting a sparkly vampire-Brit on the cover. Also? Edward Cullen is "allergic to vaginas." (Jokes, people!) [JustJared]

The magazine that brought you "Hot Jewish Girls" is back with another stereotypical portrait of a type of woman dudes can date: the hasbian.
"Just look at the features in men's magazines. They're often much meatier than the fare you find in women's magazines. What does that tell you? That guys aren't afraid to spend an hour reading a great piece of writing." [MediaBistro]
The print version of Details' paean to Jewish women contains more of the magazine's signature, sensitive photography. Plus, we got our hands on the casting call for the shoot. Jewish women are so back! (Where did we go? Unclear).
We all know how the women feel. What about their husbands?! As Details tells us, they don't get it.
We got a number of distressed emails about a recent piece in Details. Possibly because the description read, "Getting tricked into fatherhood by a woman hell-bent on getting pregnant is much more common than you think." Good to know!
