Hmm, this is a good question.  I just flipped through my copy of the August
PC Gamer, looking for it (And sex ads, while I was at it)
  I always remove all of those annoying cards in the course of reading the
magazine, so maybe I missed the subscription for "just the magazine"...
Drop them a note at peec...@aol.com maybe they know?
  And as for sex ads, I didn't see any, really.  On the chips and bits
page, there were some very discreet ads that didn't say anything about sex,
for some games which I guess might be sex games?  It is really hard to
tell, judging from the ads alone.  They are not "glaring" at the least,
maybe 1.5inch square?  Maybe people who are concerned about this will look
at this at the newstand and tell us.
  I don't speak for PC gamer, I just read it.  Therefore I don't know if it
is "policy" or what.  This would be a good letter to the editor if someone
wants to write it.
  A side note: several net people have complained about horror stories
subscribing to PC gamer (taking 4 months to get their first issue, mainly),
I don't know if there is still a problem or if they have fixed it.  I just
buy mine at the grocery when I go.  It's a pretty good magazine.

   Later,
      Hal
