Holly Madison reveals hell with Hef in Playboy Mansion
NYPost.com ^ | Sunday, June 21, 2015 | Maureen Callahan

... In 2000, Hugh Hefner and the Playboy empire already seemed like a toothless relic. Yet as Madison writes in her new book, “Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny” (Dey Street), life behind the mansion walls was darker than she could have imagined....

Then Hef approached her, bent over and opening one hand to reveal a bunch of pills nestled in an old tissue.

“Would you like a Quaalude?” he asked.

Madison was mortified. “No thanks,” she said. “I don’t do drugs.”

“Okay, that’s good,” Hef said. “Usually I don’t approve of drugs, but you know, in the ’70s they used to call these pills ‘thigh openers.’ ”

Looking back, she writes, that was the moment she should have left, never to return: “It doesn’t get much creepier than that.”....

Very quickly, Madison learned that everything about Hef’s life — and the lives of his girlfriends — was an illusion. The mansion itself was in grave disrepair, the carpeting stained with urine from his nine dogs. Most of the bedrooms had cheap, outdated and beat-up beds and dressers, and some of the girls taped over vents so they could smoke crystal meth without getting caught....

The girls played power games with each other but ultimately were pawns in Hefner’s larger game: He thrived on keeping them all at war, because it ­allowed him ultimate control....

She saw a shrink behind Hef’s back, and she came to realize that Hef picked women who were already vulnerable — herself included.

“We were all young,” Madison says. “He wasn’t interested in women over 28. None of us were from a big city or affluent backgrounds....

So, I guess she is saying that the Playboy mansion is exactly what we thought it to be. You know, like Laz's house.

Do you happen to know his address?

A woman doing what she wants whether having a drink, or a pill, to make here more relaxed to have sex, is her own decision, it isn’t “rape” to not run around forbidding grown women to drink, or party.

You never bought your date a drink or poured her a glass of wine?

Do you think that people who drink beer, or martinis, or smoke pot, or take pills, or like Cocaine, never offer any to their boyfriends, or girlfriends, or to members of the opposite sex?

You seem to be not only foul mouthed, but a little insane.

You evidently think that consensual sex between adults, is "rape".

Are you the radical left wing feminist, Catharine MacKinnon or Andrea Dworkin?

"And Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon have long argued that in a patriarchal society all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not in a strong enough social position to give meaningful consent."

The Left won't suddenly pile on Hugh Hefner the way they did Bill Cosby.

You shouldn't defend a serial rapist who drugged and raped women.

Bill Cosby would insist that females drink something, tea, or a mixed drink, or anything, that he had slipped a drug into, to knock them unconscious, or incapacitate them.

Don't defend him by pretending that the media is running a conspiracy against him.

You are posting that to the wrong person.

Look at posts 2, 32, and 35, and 50, you will see that I was trying to correct “a fool in paradise”, who bizarrely, was calling Hef the rapist, while defending the actual serial rapist, who would slip drugs to women and rape them.

It’s been unspoken acceptable in all cultures except American puritanism.

As if this is a bad thing?

A few years ago there was another book written by a couple of bunny’s, it said they he never has sex with any women, he masturbates to gay porn with the naked girls in bed with him.

That is a lie of course, do you also want to sell some gay marriage and abortion, while you are at it?

I’ve read other articles from friends or people familiar with Hefner that he, apparently, has one of the largest collections of porno in the world, and that his favorites are the really really sick stuff. Like women with animals, torture stuff, things of that nature.

Look, I've got little sympathy for these dames. There's a reason why Hef had dozens of hot blonde hotties next to him, and why hundreds of women enter the porn industry a day. They all want money, fame, and power.

And what they get is rape, abuse, drug addiction, and STDs. The porn industry destroys everyone in it.

love and sex are two very separate things you can love someone and have a life partner. but still enjoy the company of young females. it’s natural and has been accepted by most cultures throughout history.

The company of young females eh? You should tell that to your wife.

I watched an old western episode (”Wanted: Dead or Alive”, with a young Steve McQueen) on youtube last night. The rich, but ugly guy in town wanted McQueen (a bounty hunter) to fix him up with a gal. McQueen calls in a favor to a con-woman to date the guy for a couple of weeks to spur the local women’s interest.

One local gal takes an interest to the guy, but by that time the con-woman has already gotten the ugly rich guy to propose to her. McQueen tells the guy about the con, and tells him about the nice gal in town that has taken an interest in him, and will make a good wife, family, home, etc.

The next scene has the wedding bells ringing and the bride covered up. Hoping that the guy made the “right” choice in a woman that could love him. As the guy is riding off he shouts out “I thought it over. I’m marrying her for her beauty, and she’s marrying me for my money!”

That’s been the way for lots of people over the years. And some even go on to write books about it to get even more money.

>He has lived his entire life in the pursuit to ejaculate<

A fitting epitaph if there ever was.
