감성사회, 무한경쟁사회로 진입하면서 남성의 스타일이나 이미지는 힘과 권위로 상징되던 과거 스타일에서 많은 변화를 보이고 있다. 오늘날 남성 스타일과 이미지에 관한 정보는 소비대중의 요구와 매체들의 보도에 의해 필요와 학습의 과정을 거치면서, 정보의 제공자나 수용자 모두에게 적절한 이익을 주고 있다. 일반적으로 잡지의 표지는 잡지의 컨셉과 이미지를 대표하며, 표지 모델은 잡지의 상징적인 이미지, 시대성, 대중의 호감도와 밀접한 연관성을 지닌다. 따라서 라이프스타일 잡지의 표지 모델에 관한 연구는 현재 스타일의 흐름을 단적으로 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 의미가 있다. 본 연구는 남성 잡지 표지 모델의 섹슈얼 이미지에 관한 연구로 현대 남성의 이미지를 호모 섹슈얼, 크로스 섹슈얼, 메트로 섹슈얼, 위버 섹슈얼의 이미지로 구분하여 연구하였다. 연구의 결과 국내 남성 잡지에서 나타나고 있는 섹슈얼 이미지는 위버 섹슈얼이 압도적이었으며, 메트로 섹슈얼이 그 다음을 차지하였다. 결과적으로 현대 남성들의 이 같은 섹슈얼 이미지는 남성 성역할의 변화와 함께 남성 이미지의 범위 확대를 뜻하는 것으로 파악할 수 있다.

Urinary symptoms and daily life symptoms averaged 36.04 (range of score 20~100) and 16.03 (range of score 8~40). Sexual function had a positive correlation with body image and negative correlation with daily life symptoms. Sexual satisfaction, daily life symptoms, marital satisfaction, and frequency of sexual intercourse were factors affecting sexual function.
