Cosmopolitan, one of the world's largest magazines, is being removed from view at thousands of checkouts by the US supermarket giant Walmart.
The move has been celebrated as a victory by a conservative non-profit group that has lobbied against the magazine's "hyper-sexualised" content for years.
The National Centre on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) said they had been in "collaborative dialogue" with Walmart for months.
In a statement, Walmart said the change was "primarily a business decision" but "concerns raised were heard".
They said that while it would be removed from checkouts, Cosmopolitan would still be available to purchase in designated magazine sections in store.
Cosmopolitan, which has a print and online reach of tens of millions, has yet to comment publicly on the decision.
Founded originally in the late 19th Century, the magazine underwent a feminist renaissance in the 1960s when it became known for pushing the envelope for sexual content, fashion and entertainment gossip.
Hayley Halverson, Vice-President of Advocacy and Outreach for NCOSE, told the BBC that they think the magazine sends the same messages about female sexuality as publications such as Playboy.
"It's filled with articles that are extremely sexually graphic, encouraging its young readership to engage in everything from sexting, to watching pornography. It's also promoting things such as group acts and other forms of risky sex," she says.
Ms Halverson believes the magazine targets a "young female demographic" with its bright covers and cover stars, such as former Disney actors.

It's not at all a bad thing, I guess. But aren't there more important things to be worrying about right now? Even in the fight against leftist degeneracy, this isn't a victory worth mentioning.
begone, concern troll
small things is how degeneracy started
=/= that is how it will be finished
Good.
terrible. sure, let religious people, of all of them, be the ones to complain about sex. let them have their sex magazines, if it makes women hornier, all the better.
Cosmo gives the absolute worst advice, and the level of sexualization is BEYOND obscene.
Disgusting. Sex should be a weight-loss activity.
So it's highly likely they're screwing up badly at some other point in their mission statement, and just happened to score a beneficial victory. I'll still take it. Progress is progress.
My wife reads cosmo.
Cosmo told my ex-wife to tie a shoelace around my dick during sex and "floss" the tip. she was skeptical and asked me if that's something that would/could feel good. i said "i don't know, you tell me" and strangled her with a shoelace.
To this day she wasn't able to tell me if she liked it or not.
Does anyone have a pic of the article where Cosmo suggested that lots of men really like a woman grabbing hold of his balls and pulling down sharply? Or was that just a meme?
no bitch, i don't want to see your fat face munching a sugary donut, just suck me off and swallow
Yeah, pain.
And I thought she was just extra hungry…

Yesterday I heard a radio ad for "a coming of age" story where girls act like boys and try to get pounded after prom. Full on sexual inuendos from girls supposed to still be in high school. Giggity.
I get the magnum sized donuts.
And a magnum sized bitch. hey-o!
