Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy magazine and the subsequent Playboy Enterprises which helped fuel the sexual revolution in the United States, has died. He was 91.

http://www.eonline.com/ca...c-magazine

Hefner, often referred to has "Hef", parlayed $8,000 in borrowed money in 1953 to create Playboy, the hot-button media empire renowned for a magazine enriched with naked women and intelligent interviews.

No he didn't ... porn has probably been around in some form or other since cavemen walked the earth. And he certainly didn't invent the modern incarnation; there were nudey mags around before Playboy.

And like someone else said, the ladies getting paid serious dollar for appearing in his mags certainly didn't mind, so why should you? Hef did more charity work than all of us on this forum combined ... I'll be raising a glass to him on the weekend.

Ditto that sentiment. In fact I don't believe he ever even met Marilyn Monroe; he'd bought and secured rights to her photos from a session photographer SHE MODELED FOR (and was paid). I'd SEEN the guy at several screenings he'd attended for various "arty"/documentary films he'd co sponsored.

To simply say he'd degraded women is ludicrous, maybe if you're someone who hasn't read the printed page. I don't know what set his mag far apart from others at the time, (SWANK, CAPER, ROGUE come to mind)* probably staffing and a better editing department.

To that end however, some of those women WERE prob dim. ...especially those triplets i saw him with in his later years. Free room and board/publicity with a stipend. It launched many of their careers, and if you don't believe women do that sort of exhibitionism FOR FREE and far more, you're living in ur own make believe world.

Ftr: I DO wish stronger role models were presented and women who made significant contributions to the world were more celebrated, but it wasn't necessarily going to happen in his mag.

(*asterisk: "i mainly know about these mags because I've actively sought out the written records of notable thriller/scifi/television writers whose works populated these magazines whether crime, humor or editorials, works that mostly have never been printed in anthology form either)

i wonder how many people that will honor him will be all in a twist over other forms of the objectifying of women... and talk about a pay gap!

some of the things that come with wealth and celebrity.

As for the objectification ...they did not object.

It's been a principal of art, beauty, revenence, etc for practically all of humankind. Typically was man creates, woman mates and is revered.

Examples abound from: The "Venus of Willendorf" to the work of Rodin: notably "The Eternal Idol" (I only found out about this via Black Sabbath)

Either way.... it's been going on for forever.


But, maybe women want to live like men and shovel shit.... who knows.

Sorry sad

.

I was a bit harsh - guess being a gay male, his products had no interest for me, but still I guess he was important to 3 or more generations of men who were into pornography.

.

Plus at least he had a bit of class with Plyaboy, the playmates and smiling naked girls were a huge step above the gonzo porn (3 dicks in 1 chick) and the sleazier magazines like Penthouse, Hustler, Razzle, Juggs, Creamsicle etc. Hefner liked porn but he was hardly tieing women up and making them do shit like Bukkake or anything else.

.

He should also be seen as one of the leaders of the Sexual Revolution of the 20th century along with names like Dr. Magnus Hisrchfeld (1869 - 1934), Dr Ruth Westenheimer, Alfred Kinsey and Havelock Ellis amongst others. People who made non procreative sex real and normal rather than sleazy, dirty or forbidden in the past.

I have no great feeling of loss for Hugh Hefner when he continually allowed cartoons like this in his magazine.


Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Reminds me of the old "Take a letter Ms Bosom" type cartoons of the 1950s, this looks 60s.

Why is porn the *worst* vice in history? Like, why not....gambling say, or alcoholism? I'm curious......

Porn is a great driver of technology. What were some of the first products of the fangled new printing press? Naughty pamphlets. Why did VHS beat betamax and blu-ray beat HD-DVD in format wars? Yup.


However, I have no respect whatsoever for Hugh Hefner. His latest wife must feel like she's won the shagging equivalent of The Hunger Games.

I feel the same way. I will remember him as a misogynist.

Rumor has it, that his latest wife wasn't in the will. Only his 4 kids and some charities. He also sold the mansion several years ago, to be vacated upon his death.

I am sure most of what he owned was already in the hands of his kids. his wife will likely get a 'small' amount but not much... and she certainly accepted that condition when she got married. But I also predict she will play the victim (and she is) and try to get more. But she is just one of 1000s of women he took advantage of.

The women also took advantage of him.
