Hefner has his legacy. It’s not positive, in my opinion. He is something of the “Godfather” of the sexual revolution.
Was the sexual revolution really a good movement for society? All of us have our opinions. Mine is that it was not good, overall.
I had heard, just hearsay, that Hefner was more upset about the public image of Playboy being hurt by the Dorothy Stratton murder, rather than having any real remorse over her death. Because, in his world, all the girls are interchangeable. There’s always a new playmate the next month. Etc.
He got a lot of publicity from the reality show “The Girls Next Door”, which featured three of his playmates/live in girlfriends at that time. But, what people may not realize, is that he had been living that way for decades, even though that show started in 2005. He had a revolving door of girls moving in and out over the decades.
I wasn’t aware of a non-dark side to Playboy.
In the book about the beautiful Dorothy Stratten's murder, it chronicles her journey to becoming a top Playboy model.
She tells about her first visit to the Playboy Mansion as a young inexperienced girl.
She was lured to the infamous grotto pool under false pretenses.
There Hefner came up to her and made advances. She protested.
Then without her consent, he forced her into sex.
As he planned her murder, her deranged husband strapped Dorothy into Playboy's infamous **** machine......
This savage device was constructed for one purpose.....the man's ultimate enjoyment.
A cute dark headed girl called Barbie Doll was his long time girlfriend ...
I thought it was Barbi Benton.
I think Hef’s “girlfriends” were mostly beards.
Yes that was probably her name but I think the doll part was added ...just a nick...
Hefner said the thing he was proudest of in life was that he helped make sex outside of marriage acceptable. American society is much the worse on account of Hef’s “achievement”. It was disgraceful when writers such as William F. Buckley published in Playboy, thereby giving a patina of respectability to what was. however take it may have been in comparison to publications that came after it, still pornography.
Did Heffner have a NOT dark side?
An abortions loving piece of garbage.
Soulmates forever.
If I recall correctly her murderer was alleged to have used that machine to have sex with her bloody headless corpse. (I apologize for the grotesque reference but it is important to note what type of sick people pornography attracts.)
A 91 year old creep died. Good.
Then only lesson to be learned from Hefner and “Playboy” is that people will do anything for money. Anything.
20 years old. Naive. A lot to take advantage of.
