For graduation in '67 the love of my life gave me a year subscription to Playboy Magazine. We married in 1974. 44 years of marriage. Fun... and it really began with a magazine. ((-:
I remember reading some of the articles as a young woman in the 70's, they were well written. And yes, I looked at some of the pictures, they did nothing for me but I could understand why most men found them appealing.
I truly never envied Hugh Hefner, not for one solitary moment. Those women were with him simply for what he and his magazine could do for them financially. Nothing more. Nothing less.
According to wikipedia: "The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) has published a Braille edition of Playboy since 1970.[80] The Braille version includes all the written words in the non-Braille magazine, but no pictorial representations. Congress cut off funding for the Braille magazine translation in 1985, but U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan reversed the decision on First Amendment grounds.[81]" So apparently that old joke "I'm only reading it for the articles" holds some truth.
I PRIMARILY got it the articles (the best James Bond article I've EVER read was in Playboy-look at their expose on Thunderball; AND look at where Alex Haley got his start and HIS legacy), ...AND I'd look at the pictures too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stefan B. I’m pretty sure the Braille version includes image descriptions if I’m not mistaken. However, I’ve never read the magazine so I’m not sure how they formatted the Braille version.
I bought some shoes from a drug dealer. I don’t know what he laced them with but I have been tripping all day! Ps I got that joke from a playboy magazine!
I've heard that joke from a half dozen places. I know its cliche to say but Playboy really did have some great articles. The humor was always kind hacky.
Well, I don't know about guys, but I would prefer to have one soulmate and grow old with him, together. HOWEVER, I'm 36, on a relationship, and the fact that we have pretty healthy sex life, that I'm still alive, and not being an outcast for not being married yet... we owe that to this man.
Pardon my tardiness, but it's too early for Neil Gaiman. I also have a feeling that Biographics would sugarcoat how much he has changed over the years. Spoiler alert: it's not for the better.
It's interesting to think that if Hefner's first wife had never admitted to cheating on him, he might have been more committed to the marriage, worked harder at keeping it alive, and Playboy might never have been. I do wonder if he might actually have been happier that way, in the end. When he was a younger man, I think his lifestyle did sort of make him the most envied man in the world -- after all, who wouldn't want to be surrounded by beautiful, naked women? And I'm sure that there were gold-diggers back in those days too, but many of the women he spent time with must have been genuinely attracted to him; he was reputed to be a very charming, charismatic man, after all. But by the time he was old, he simply HAD to know that not one of the women he was with then would have had the time of day for him if he'd just been Hugh Smith, the retired bank manager. I remember seeing a video of him in his eighties, when he had several girlfriends at once (I think it was eight) -- all dyed-platinum blondes -- and it showed him going out to a dance club, and he HAD to have been at least forty years older than the next oldest person there, and possibly even fifty years older. Two things struck me about that: first was that this looked like a man who was doing what he did at least as much to live up to an image as it was to enjoy himself; and the second was that this looked like a man who was truly DESPERATE to hold onto a long-vanished youth. A man who was afraid of old age and death even. I could be wrong, of course, but my gut tells me that in his old age, he wasn't really all that close to anyone. He may have had a lot of sex with a lot of beautiful women, and I've no reason to doubt he loved his children. But my grandfather died around the same age (90, in his case) having been married to the same woman for 63 years, having seen all his children grow up to have happy lives and children of their own, and I strongly suspect Grandad died a happier, more fulfilled man.
Having sex w/ beautiful women is not the end all and be all of life, as so many men seem to think, but that your Grandfather and some others do figure out.
But Hef made all his dreams true. He tried marriage twice and it really didn’t work out so nobody can say he was lonely for a wife. He also kept good relationships with his kids. And he kept a good circle with his old pals and brother with the whole manly night thing. All this while having lots of hot girls. So his life was pretty balanced.
despite all the contraversies playboy , and Hugh Hefner , are icons of the publishing world , it was an inspired and brilliant coup attaining the Marilyn nudes for the first issue of Playboy and the rest , as they say , is history. I really admire the man , and not just because he lived the unbelievably hedonistic lifestyle that he did , but because he created a life for himself that was as over the top as could be , with wealth and a never ending stream of beautiful women at his side. The playboy parties of the 70's are legendary and his life was one that every boy , around the world , aspired to. There will never be another Hef , and that is something , love him or hate him , he was the king.
As an orthodox Catholic-Christian naturally I can't approve of his hedonistic lifestyle but WTF the man had class, style, was a fellow Chicagoan and had plenty of business savvy; Hef here's my Get Out of Purgatory card.
Around 2006-07, Playboy tried to expand to Indonesia, but it was hugely controversial. By March 2007, it was pulled off the shelves for good, following the legalisation of Indonesia's anti-pornography law.
Just had an interesting thought... I wonder if this type of conditional environment at the Playboy mansion is a modern day example of the age old expression "making a deal with the devil" aka "signing your soul to the devil in trade for your needs or desires".
Pardon my tardiness, but probably. There's been allegations that Hugh Hefner wasn't the champion of women's rights he claimed to be, he still profited off of the sexual exploitation of women, and Simon didn't rule out a cult of personality.
Woah this makes me respect the guy more than I ever have, I mean he sure wasn't perfect but he really loved that girl and his life seemed to really go the way it did because it's like he didn't believe in love anymore. Really interesting.
Had his heart broken, even during his later years he still admitted it was was the most devastating moment of his life. Filled that hole that was left with women he never felt a connection to so he wouldn’t get his heart broke again. I for sure don’t envy that, closer to pitying him. What a sad life
I typically love this channel but you guys missed a lot on this one. Alex Haley and a lot of other great authors and comedians got their start from Heff.
This man is a very-VERY personal hero of mine. What FEW Playboy magazines I did buy remained of a collection, NOT given-away unless I FINISHED reading them ENTIRELY!!! (Laugh all you want, these mags DID-HAVE some extremely interesting articles to read [The pictures weren't' bad also]) Of all the magazines I had where the nude centerfold/gatefolds missing, NO centerfold ever hung in my room. I personally preferred the older/thicker magazines that provided more to read THAN the later/newer thinner mags. VERY-VERY PERSONAL MEMORIES: Visiting the Chicago club on a semi-regular bases after Navy Bootcamp and once visiting the Lake Geneva Wisconsin club; I still have the photo of the guys and me posing with the Bunnies as a souvenir. Alex Haley , "Roots" fame, did the FIRST (!!!) Playboy magazine interview with Miles Davis back in '62 AND these interviews became a staple/regular feature in the magazine because of him. Mini-stereos, Euro-sexy sport cars, and learning the difference between living with style and "frugally" and rather-than showy OR cheap (a huge-HUGE [!!!]) difference was learned from Playboy. And while I never-NEVER met one of these Blond-airhead-bimbo types that is so often associate with Playboy, I REGULARLY/OFTEN met young attractive INTELLIGENT college-educated-women who reinforced the idea, in me, that beauty AND brains could go together, AND taught me to be a gentleman, respectful of feminine beauty and treat women with respect and dignity. All this, and more, I PERSONALLY learned from Playboy, and regardless of Ms. Steinem's critique these people were nice to me and treated me as MORE THAN A CUSTOMER. I NEVER personally me "Hef", ..BUT I'm going to miss him very-VERY much!!!!!!!!!!
I'm surprised that "Playboy" had such a relatively easy time of it in the 1950' and '60's, because (to the best of my knowledge) photos of naked--or near-naked--women would have violated obscenity laws.
In Hef's favor,he supported equal rights & his daughter took over his empire. Also,the articles are great. I used to think he was a pig but now I grudgingly kind of admire him(if only for those reasons)
Hugh Hefner was living in the right time taking in consideration what was the mentality in that era. He gave the world something that was forbiden by the norms of society but people needed. Like it or not, healthy people will always be intersted in sex, no matter the culture.
the "playboy philosophy" wasn't published as a book, (i suppose it might've been later), but it was initially published in the magazine as an on-going editorial series that lasted some 15, or so issues. hefner was also quite the philanthropist. contributing to many left wing causes including the reform of pot laws and sexual laws that criminalized common sexual acts such as oral sex. in the 70s, at "playboy's" height in sales. during the disco-cocaine era, hefner was hit with a drug scandel that resulted in a govt investigation that came close to destroying hef's life. hef admitted himself, it was a wake-up call that things were getting out of hand. hef cleaned up his lifestyle and averted drug and racketeering charges. of all the rich people i've ever known about, i find hef to be among the highest in integrity and generally using his wealth for the benefit of society. like everyone else he had his flaws but i think he was alright and i admire him on many levels.
Not very accurate. He paid $500 not $200 for the Marilyn Monroe pictures and the dates around his marriage in the late 80's are incorrect. A couple more inaccuracies, but you get the jist 😉
I can't say I liked the man, but I do have respect for him. He found a a notch to make money. And it was a honest way at first. And although it may have been honest at first, wasn't always the case. But just like JR Simplot, I will miss him
Hef was definitely the coolest dude ever. One cool thing he did was pay for the wedding and honeymoon for one of his ex-girlfriends from his reality show. Hef took millions of young men from boyhood to manhood.
I find it fascinating that Holly was in love with Hef....until she became his exclusive then she fell out of love with him. Shows women want what they can't have and when they get it they don't want it again.
Michael Walton No , not buy modern standard but it’s fair to say he was the father of Porno . He planted the seeds that eventually led to hard core porno
In 1960 the social consesus was that Playboy was pornography. The Hays act was extremely influential in public morality standards. Its hard to overstate how sexually repressed American was back then. Playboy was pretty outrages when it was first published. Hefner was really a pioneer.
I don’t think that he did the first recorded pornographic film is a silent from the 30s and it shows full penetration at a close angle which means the cameraman was all in there so to blame it on Heff I don’t think so I think hard-core porn was born about two days after the motion camera
I think we can sum Hugh's life up like this it wasn't perfect or ideal but we don't have the right to judge on our morals cus in the end he lived the life he wanted and he was happy... and personally I think he lived a good life, all one can do in this life is do something that makes em happy and do what we feel is right 😈
As a man, I feel confident about saying that every generation of men in the future should take a good look at Hef, realize what was good and what was overly ambitious to maybe a naive extent...and then try to be as much like him as they can. Not because it's what people expect but because it's what deep inside every man's hormones tell him he likes.
When you binge Bigraphics for a week and start narrating your life in Simon's Voice.
Or fear his cunning judgement 😂
One could say he's white Morgan Freeman?
That’s more common then I thought isn’t it…😂
If I ever become famous for something, I want him to narrate my life 😁
When?
And, so the term, "I'm stripping to pay my tuition" was born.
At least you're working...
For graduation in '67 the love of my life gave me a year subscription to Playboy Magazine. We married in 1974. 44 years of marriage. Fun... and it really began with a magazine. ((-:

I would hope so.
Bruce Lee had a Playboy collection , ha ha :p

Playboy Interviews were some of the best out there and they had really interesting people as the interviewee when magazines where still popular.
Had some of the best Vag pics too

That was the kicker. Hugh was like the sex will sell itself. But what if we actually made it a good read too?

Well I am pretty sure there are many who would want to live like him no matter what or they could hopefully find a soul mate there
Those are the perfect last words for him say. Well done sir well done.
