FHM or For Him Magazine is an international monthly lad's mag. The magazine began publication in 1985 in the United Kingdom under the name For Him and changed its title to FHM in 1994, although the full For Him Magazine continues to be printed on the spine of each issue.

After the emergence of James Brown's Loaded magazine (regarded as the blueprint for the lad's mag genre), For Him firmed up its editorial approach to compete with the expanding market and introduced a sports supplement. It then went monthly and changed its name to FHM. It subsequently expanded internationally. As of January 2007, it published 28 editions per month including editions in Russia, the United States, Norway, Denmark, Romania, Croatia, Australia, Estonia, New Zealand, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Indonesia, Taiwan, Portugal, Malaysia, India, Mexico, The Netherlands, Venezuela, Thailand, the Philippines, Serbia, South Africa, Spain, Slovenia, Sweden, Singapore, Bulgaria, Greece, Germany, Hungary and Turkey.

Like Loaded, FHM arguably[citation needed] relies heavily on the appeal of photographs of scantily-clad women. Unlike many magazines, FHM prints photographs of women already famous for reasons other than their beauty - such as actresses and pop singers. FHM is typically stocked in the lifestyle rather than adult section on newsstands, although Wal-Mart banned lad's mags [2][3] in 2003.

The magazine is printed on high quality glossy paper and the photography is of high technical quality.[1] FHM became one of the best-selling magazines in Britain during the mid to late 1990s, selling 700,000 copies per month by 1999[1], which was a fall by 9.6%. [4] Towards the end of the decade the lads' culture in which the magazine thrived began to die off and publishers turned to celebrity-oriented titles to boost overall sales. Lads culture is a British phenomenon where young adults binge drink at several public houses and bars and proceed to nightclubs where they flirt with females despite (or helped by) their drunken state. ...


FHM publishes an annual list of the "100 Sexiest Women In The World", as voted by its readers.


As well as the photo shoots, the magazine contains articles on a wide variety of topics, including profiles of sports stars, movie, music, gadget and book reviews, gossip, men's fashion shoots, the "bar scene" in a variety of locations, guy tales of sex, and extensive discussion of sexual techniques.


In December 2006 it was announced that FHM will be discontinuing its United States print edition after the March 2007 issue, turning to an all-digital format with the launch of FHM Online. [5][6]


In October 2007 FHM launched a magazine in India along with an accompanying website, FHMindia.com.
