Hugh Hefner has been idolized by millions of men of dubious morals for his “Playboy” lifestyle—his huge mansion, never-ending stream of celebrity guests, and, of course, the girls. He is considered the ultimate playboy, the silk-pajamaed icon of the Sexual Revolution, the man who brought “free love” to the free market and made a killing.
He’s also sexually dysfunctional.
In her emotionally mauling book Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality, researcher Gail Dines writes how the infamous TV show "The Girls Next Door," which started in 2005, "provides a sanitized version of life at the Playboy mansion, never showing the reality of the experiences for the young women who live and sleep with eighty-three-year-old Hefner."
Perhaps most revealingly, she points out how Izabella St James, one of Hefner's 'ex-girlfriends,' has written that while Hefner would often often have unprotected sex with multiple women, he could not reach sexual completion without using pornography and stimulating himself.
That’s right. Porn, the most viral manifestation of the Sexual Revolution, is reducing millions of men to pathetic dependents desperately scrolling through thousands of pictures and videos—and causing many of them to become impotent. Even a man with a non-stop stream of beautiful women sleeping with him, one of the most easily recognizable sex icons of our time, cannot get off without porn.
But it is us, supposedly, who are “anti-sex.”
Those of us who hold to a Judeo-Christian view of sexual ethics are invariably accused of being “prudes” or “anti-sex.” Rejecting the Sexual Revolution and the host of new sexually transmitted diseases, incalculable amount of psychological physical pain, broken marriages, porn addictions, and aborted and dismembered “love” children that it brought with it, it seems, is the primary way to loudly declare yourself a cultural heretic.
Let me break it down. We, apparently, are the ones who are “anti-sex” because we elevate sex as an action of such significance that it should take place in a loving, committed context - marriage - one that is, incidentally, also the best context in which to raise children. We recognize that sex is an extraordinarily powerful human experience, one that we toy with or abuse at our peril. But the Sexual Revolutionaries insist that this is archaic and foolish. “More sex,” they say, “more sex, all the time and with whomever you’d like.”
Someone should make these people take economics. Basic rule: If you commodify something, you cheapen it. We’ve put cash prices on intimate human experiences, and we’ve created an industry that amounts to nothing more than a trade in human flesh. I’m no anti-capitalist, but some things should not be bought and sold. But now that millions have been pimped out by the Sexual Revolution, we do just that. We treat sex like a game or a toy. And, like over-enthusiastic children, we’ve broken it.
Here are just a very brief sampling of a few recent headlines:
- “Porn causing erectile dysfunction in young men”—Global News - “Internet pornography destroying men’s ability to perform with real women”—Daily Mail - “Does porn contribute to erectile dysfunction?”—Psychology Today
I often wonder why more people don’t see the sad irony in this. Like thirsty men and women guzzling salt water, we simply inflame our lusts with pornography, dehydrating ourselves of the true human intimacy we crave. Rather than recognizing it for the poison that it is, we claim that porn is a sex aid, or carefree recreation, or even a tool for helping a flagging marriage. Clinging to this cultural delusion is doing precisely the opposite of what the Sexual Revolutionaries promised us it would do: It’s killing sex.
Yet when people try to point this out—from self-described radical feminist Gail Dines to the Christian scholars who warned that this would happen before we even pried open Pandora’s Box—it is they who get called “anti-sex.”
Hugh Hefner built an empire selling the bodies of young, attractive women and men to millions, but his cash has not stopped him from becoming enslaved by his own product. When I consider that the very man who is envied by millions for the sexual lifestyle he leads can himself only find pleasure in the pale substitute for human intimacy he markets to the masses, it brings to mind something Christopher Hitchens once said, when responding to a Marxist in his audience. The quotation perfectly fits this circumstance as well.
“Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. There you have it," Hitchens said. "You see how far the termites have spread, and how long and well they’ve dined.”
And so they have.

If your life is lacking music, it's probably a sign that you're hanging around the wrong caliber of men.
So, you think it is OK to attack someone with biblical quotes when you disagree with them? You think it is fine to try to change someone’s religion? (And I am not talking about crazy Islam stuff.)
If so, then I will pray for you. A lot. Because you are missing the whole point of America.
Please see post 89.
(This is fun!)
“We won’t go to hell because of using the Federal Reserve!!!! OMG!!!”
Yes, we will. Theft is a sin. The Federal Reserve is all about theft, including theft from those not even born yet.
Besides, we won’t go to Hell for Hefner’s sins.
Actually, yes I do.
You think it is fine to try to change someone’s religion?
Absolutely I do. And I believe that you do, too.
If so, then I will pray for you. A lot. Because you are missing the whole point of America.
What could it be that you are praying for? That I change my religion?
“Hefner and his crew did not use ‘government money’ to corrupt the culture. That was done entirely in the private sector. And that makes them worse than the public sector corrupters.”
Hefner didn’t have the force and guns of government to force his magazine, lifestyle, or anything related to his enterprise on others. The government has guns, thugs, courts to force their will on you.
“1913 Was a Very Bad Year .”
Yep. IMHO, the worse year of any including 1860. Not even the War of Northern Aggression was as bad as the 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve.
MTV no doubt ranks right up there with Hefner. They were/are a primary outlet for brainwashing teenagers and young adults with leftist ideology, including pornography.
Your damning indictment of Hefner, and his crasser imitators, and their customers, supports my point. Hefner et al. found a way to corrupt the culture without depending on the force of laws, and guns, and polizei. Far more destructive.
IMO.
Hefner did not force his ways on people, they gladly accepted them. He wasn’t devious or indirect, he was very direct. Which says Hefner didn’t corrupt anybody, they corrupted themselves.
Put it another way, if a mere magazine with images of nude women could corrupt an entire population of people then just how moral was that population in the first place?
Be glad to. That was a limited engagement of 4 years. The 16th and the reserve affects everyone and has for decades and will for decades more.
If the South had won I doubt we would have had the 16th or the thieves at the federal reserve.
Millions have been prosecuted, imprisoned, and some even killed over this taxation of the 16th and the federal reserve. Everyone lives in fear of it.
I think those that died in the war would have preferred to have died stopping the carnage of the 16th and the federal reserve.

I’ll spare you, just click and read at your own risk.
“it’s probably a sign that you’re hanging around the wrong caliber of men. “
yea like the one I just responded to.
Bringing a whole new level of meaning to “getting high off your own supply”.
He was a pervert.
