Erotic Magazines Category Overview

The Erotic Magazines category, identified by the ID 4060, is part of the Mature > Erotic product hierarchy within the Google taxonomy. This category is designated for print-based or digital erotic publications that do not fit into broader book or video classifications.

What Belongs Here

This category is intended for periodical publications focused on erotic content. While direct product examples from the US market are scarce, this classification is appropriate for monthly or quarterly erotic journals, specialized photo-heavy magazines, and adult-themed digest publications. Ensure the content is strictly print-formatted to distinguish it from digital or video media.

What Does Not Belong Here

Items belonging to other segments of the Erotic parent category should not be listed here. Specifically, avoid these categories:

  • Erotic Books: Use for narrative-heavy works or novel-length adult literature.
  • Erotic DVDs & Videos: Use for all film, short video content, or streaming media.
  • Erotic Clothing: Use for all lingerie, costumes, or fetish apparel.
  • Sex Toys: Use for all mechanical or physical sexual wellness devices.
  • Erotic Food & Edibles: Use for items intended for consumption.
  • Erotic Games: Use for board games, cards, or interactive play kits.
  • Pole Dancing Kits: Use for fitness or exercise equipment.

How to Configure Your Feed

For your feed, you may use either the ID 4060 or the full path: Mature > Erotic > Erotic Magazines. Including this attribute helps Google categorize your items accurately, although it remains optional; manually selecting the category is superior to relying on automated assignments that may misclassify your adult content.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use the ID or the full path for Erotic Magazines?
You can use either. The ID 4060 is preferred as it is shorter and language-independent, but the full path is equally valid for Google Merchant Center.
Is it mandatory to provide the google_product_category for these magazines?
It is optional. However, manually providing the category ensures Google classifies your products correctly, which is often more reliable than the automated system.
Does this category affect my ad targeting?
No, the google_product_category helps define product attributes and policies, but it does not restrict or determine which users see your advertisements.
