Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it has stopped selling men's magazines Maxim, Stuff and FHM because the retail chain has received complaints from customers about their racy content.

A Wal-Mart spokeswoman told the New York Times that the company made the decision after "listening to our customers and associates. I know we've heard on at least one of those magazines, they weren't pleased with the offering."

The Times said that the company's standards and the magazines' content have not changed, but the firm has been under pressure from Christian groups in the past for its sale of certain magazines.

In the past, Wal-Mart has refused to sell CDs that carry warning labels about explicit lyrics. Instead, the store sells sanitized versions of albums, with some songs omitted or covers redrawn to pass muster with the chain's buyers, the paper added.
