Canadian Reacts to the Scandalous Magazines Germans Teens Grew Up With
Sign up here to receive updates the novel Lilian is writing: shorturl.at/jWyYw
BRAVO - an iconic German teen magazine (yes they expanded it to a few other European countries as well) that was a part of many teenager's lives and was a part of their coming of age journeys from the 60s until its declining popularity with the rise of the internet and social media.
In this video, I show my Canadian wife Alexis the magazines my generation grew up with, including all the great spicy details we learned from the Dr. Sommer Team and the controversial "Body Checks"... A little shocking for the prude North American mentality?

The Dark Side of Traveling as an LGBTQ Couple
Who cares 😊
I think the main reason a bi girl will end up in a straight relationship it's simply because of statistics. There's a higher percentage of free straight and bi men out there than of bi or lesbian girls. I'm only talking by personal experience at dating apps, so I might be wrong. But I'm sure it's in some point related with that.
I have done every single thing incorrectly. Some how still dating her.
love you Sophie G trinity ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ girl friend ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why am I watching this when I'm a straight guy just trying to find a nice woman.
I am streight and had a lesbian colleague fall in love with me. I agreed to stay casual friends with her at first when she asked me, but me sending signals that i thought normal but she received as flirting, her developing even bigger feelings over time, her sending big gifts, me doing stuff i had thought of being normal in friendships that she deemed misleading, her giving me the silent treatment when i was being too cought up in my actual life... I saw a casual friendship, not too deep, but more and more felt like i was in an emotionally draining relationship i didn't know of, which was very very hard. When she had told me about her feelings, but wished we stayed like we had before, i agreed, and that was it for me - i didn't give it a second thought - i just continued exactly as before, with no intentions whatsoever. It pains me to say this, and i cherished our good times a lot, but i should have ended it right in the beginning, for both our good. I could never be what se actually wanted from me, and i had given her false hope without even knowing it. Friendships and talks between streight girls can be very personal and deep, even if the whole thing is just casual & a one time thing. I'm now super concious getting close to people i don't intend to have a sexual relationship with, because i'm afraid of getting myself into another situation like this.
I'm sorry to hear that that may have broken up.
Maravilha, espetáculo de vídeo!! Parabéns!!!
love you s G girl friend Sophie and trinity ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope I get a date. Some day
Im going to ask her out tomorrow, im super nervous, i really like this girl 😭
The Pizza looks amazing!
I'm a straight man and I watch this so I know what to avoid lol
I read them and kinda felt they were brainwashing me with sexist stereotypes and norms. One the one hand tBravo encouraged segzual awareness and emancipation in teen girls, but at the same time it replicated solely sexist stereotypes revolving around gender. Don't recall any LGBT visibility but it was the 2000s so maybe it was too early. The magazine also solely focused on what teen girls should look like and behave like, nothing about mental health or intellectual pursuits. My earlier teens were in Toronto and I recall early 2000s Teen Magazine and Claire was much less hypersegzualing teen girls.
Bonjour les filles toujours aussis sympa pour les reportages j ai adoré vraiment mercie amitié sincèrement bravos ❤❤❤❤❤
I wish I could to see you guys and i like to watch movies
I'm really looking forward to your book, Lilian
Original Amsterdammers are also very rude. Only none live there anymore...
The one on left looks like a fuckboy going through an MtF stage, and the one on the right looks like Anne Hathaway with cancer. I KNOW THAT SOUNDED HARSH, BUT I MEANT YOU'RE BOTH HOT, YOU JUST LOOK TO *ME* THIS WAY.
How about promoting prophylactics , dental dams , and condoms rather than this insane notion that ‘getting checked often ‘ is the answer ! Bloggers and others are not helping with the spread of STD’s and other diseases that can lead to cancers.
Damn Lesbo's....😢
Alexis's reactions are really cute in this video!
I fell in love with this person, I thought they were gay , we flirted with each other and talked about stuff and I thought she would like me back . We were texting and I asked her stuff about the queer club at school and why she was a part of it and she said she’s just an ally. She looks so pretty and she looks gay but she’s not.
I have watched this many times. Thanks for sharing your love and devotion with us ❤️❤️❤️
Love this
Stares are normal in India. Just stay safe and avoid camping in India as it can be dangerous for females.
Hello, i just discovered your videos. Miso is so adorable. What breed are they? x
Can a lesbian please just fucking love me.
Loved this! What breed of dog do you have?
That way you look at each other ❤❤❤ I love your channel!
Gosh, that is scary about that tick. I hope you are okay. Maybe a good idea for Alexis and Miso to be checked for ticks as well.
Miss your daily life vlogs and travel vlogs! More of just you guys just doing daily things ❤
My Bravo time was in the 90s and even back then they had the BodyCheck but I think it was fairly new then, think it was a new feature that they included at some point in the 90s. Tbh I was always wondering how those teens could show their faces at school ever again with all their classmates seeing their naked pic in Bravo 😳😅 But I agree that Dr Sommer could be quite helpful when you didn't really feel like talking to your parents about these things. If anything, it made you realize that all kids your age are concerned about similar things and that it's totally normal.
We had Bravo magazines also in Spain hahaha, but I think it was more about celebrities, romance stories and quizzes.
Scandalous 🤭 well in India there would have been riots if such a magazine was published for teens.. sex was and still is such a taboo topic here. My grandmother would ask me to cover my eyes if a kissing scene showed up in some English show/movie that we were watching. Although we got a glimpse of the sex advice columns in the regular mags and newspaper. Other than that as teens from an all girls school we were obsessed with Sydney Sheldon novels and some Mills & Boons - so unrealistic and tantalising stuff. Haha.
I'm 22 years old, I love older women 😩💋
Haha gotta love Bravo 👏 🙌 😂 we also had it in the Czech Republic and by the sound of it it was exactly the same as it was in Germany
I hope Lilian's book will not be a Kindle-only edition. I've been bummed a couple of times with books by new authors that have only come out on Amazon Kindle, and I'm reluctant to support Amazon. Watermarked pdf, epub or mobi format would be great.
🤣🤣🤣 Oh my god, I've never laughed so much at a youtube video! Those old issues are amazing!
Ah, this is just awesome. :D I was buying those in high school and always checked out the "naked" section first. Haha!
We had a really similar magazine called Dolly in Australia, also had a Dolly Doctor Segment. I looked it up and it stopped printing in 2016.
I have tried so hard to explain this magazine to my American friends! They just can't comprehend the idea 😂 Bravo was helpful and entertaining growing up, but it has been criticized for certain viewpoints as well. For me, for example, it "talked me out of" accepting that I'm bi/ queer when I was 13ish... There was an article that explained bisexuality (this was about 1992, yes I'm that old). The article said something like: bisexuals have a really hard life because they'll always want both a man and a woman and can never be satisfied. I was like, hell no, I don't wanna be like that... It was not a good experience for me for sure, and it took me some years to get over my fear/internalized biphobia!
Hahaha yes until now I remember some of the answers from dr Sommer! Top notch education hehe :)
Growing up french canadian I read Julie magazines from france which were similarly formated to the Bravo, I never realized there was no english equivalent to that magazine in Canada!
Cool video cool topic. Nostalgia is great.

In the 90s, there were even hit songs aimed at the teenage market going strong in Germany that had prevention from STI as their main lyrical theme, but in a playful way. "Use A Billy Boy" comes to mind. Also, the rap in "Love Message". I'm sure there were more songs of covert condom advertising but cannot come up with any other song title right now. Artists all over the world were raising awareness for prevention of AIDS since the 80s, and doing numerous benefits for the good cause of finding a cure. Bravo and Dr Sommer was also at the forefront of this. Good to find out that there is mental health content now, too. Not so much in the 90s.
