What counts as an explicit image?

Does singer Rita Ora appearing topless on the front cover of July's GQ make the publication a lads' mag?

Or is that nickname reserved for titles such as Zoo, Nuts and FHM?

Is a Vogue bikini cover or a short skirt on Beyonce's Cosmopolitan front page harmful to children?

Earlier this week the Co-op, which has 4000 outlets, gave lads' mags six weeks to cover up their scantily clad women.

They don't mind selling titles such as Front and Loaded which show women wearing very little – but they want magazine bosses to hide their content in sealed "modesty bags".

The retailer said it was responding to concerns from its members, customers and colleagues about images of scantily clad women on the covers of magazines.

Companies are also facing pressure from groups such as Lose the Lads' Mags and No More Page 3, a campaign that is fighting for newspapers to remove topless photos from their pages. The lads' mags campaign, run by the feminist groups UK Feminista and Object, is petitioning for shops to stop selling these titles altogether.

Although the Co-op's move is a step forward, there's a far deeper problem in society's attitude towards women that targeting magazines aimed at men is not going to fix.

As reported yesterday in the Evening Times, Glasgow's G1 Group came under fire after claims that a quizmaster at one of their venues in the West End made misogynistic and offensive comments.

Matthew Vickery, who complained to the company after attending the event, said one of the quiz questions was: "Is it still rape if you kill her first?"

THE quizmaster was rightly told to step down and G1 is to apologise.

There is another debate over access to porn on the internet and whether it is damaging to young people's future relationships.

Rape Crisis Scotland co-ordinator Sandy Brindley told me that it was concerned about the impact that sexual images have on young people who, research shows, can start to access porn at age 11.

But there is a fantastic project in Glasgow which is addressing these sorts of issues at root level.

The Rosey Project educates young people by delivering workshops.

Glasgow Rape Crisis Centre members visit schools and youth groups to discuss concerns, including the impact pornography, lads' mags and social media has on their relationships.

Instead of focusing on superficial changes, these are the sorts of projects which will really make a difference.
