11 of the worst sex tips women's magazines have given their readers

Glamour magazine managed the rare feat of welcoming near-ubiquitous condemnation from the internet on Monday after publishing some brain-meltingly awful advice on how women can get men to fall in love with them.

As well as imploring women to answer the door naked and offer massages to their partners ("happy-endings optional") it also urged its readers to make their partners grilled cheese snacks after sex and hand them a beer when they get out of the shower (?!).

In fact, so bad was "13 Little Things That Can Make a Man Fall Hard for You" that the magazine's editors have removed it from their website, admitting that it read like a "1950s marriage handbook".

But Glamour is far from the first women's magazine to offer truly terrible pointers to its readers and, alas, we fear it won't be the last.

So, for posterity, here are some of the other spectacularly awful pieces of advice dished out over the years:
