[QUOTE=Honey] The worst part may be the baby oil. Hef of all people should know what Astroglide is. 😉 [/QUOTE] According to one of his exes, if Hef has a fetish of any kind, it’s baby oil. He loved/loves to rub it all over his women and in _Hef’s Little Black Book_ one of them talks about how the girls hate it because it takes days to get it out of their hair. 😃 ---

_“Gonna wash that man right outta my hair.”_ 😉 Yes, she was speaking of the baby oil. ---

[QUOTE=The Octagon] Why would a fit girl in her 20s want to have sex (or whatever you want to call it) with an 80 year old man? [/QUOTE] There are way more hookers out there than you ever imagined. Its just that most of them have been offered the right package yet. ---

[QUOTE=Shagnasty] There are way more hookers out there than you ever imagined. Its just that most of them have been offered the right package yet. [/QUOTE] That goes for both women AND men. I think most people have a price. Hef’s a dirty old man, but he seems relatively harmless. Plenty of women put up with a lot worse for a lot less. ---

[QUOTE=Indygrrl] Hef’s a dirty old man, but he seems relatively harmless. Plenty of women put up with a lot worse for a lot less. [/QUOTE] In Jill Ann Spaulding’s book, she goes on and on about how Hefner uses these women, yet time after time it was her who was using and misleading him, yet he remained gracious and forgiving throughout. I was amused by this response when an interviewer asked if he ever thought women were only after him because of the magazine and his money: “I’ve been very fortunate to have been in a position where so many women have expressed an interest in me and in the magazine, and whenever one of them expressed an interest in having things go further, I didn’t usually look into it all that closely…call me _shallow!_” Another time he said: “I don’t care _why_ they’re after me, just so they’re after me.” Basically, Hefner is a guy who views himself as the star of his own life. He simply does what he wants–and gets from life whatever it has to offer–without worrying two whits what anyone thinks about it or him in the process as they’re all really just supporting players. He undoubtedly knows most of the girls who have sex with him don’t really want to, but as long as they’re willing to do it on the chance it’ll pay off for them somehow, he’s perfectly content to allow them to do so because in his mind it’s all about what’s pleasing to him. Still, he seems to be a congenial and gracious guy overall and I’ve never heard or read anywhere that he pressured anyone unfairly to have sex with him. As far as him being old, one of his girlfriends was asked recently if he could really still get it on, and she replied, “Yes, he can…but when he comes, it’s dust.” 😃 I keed, I keed… ---

[QUOTE=Paul in Saudi] I like to think at night he goes up to his apartment and takes a nubile young playmate and explains to here the difference between term and whole-life insurance. [/QUOTE] And how escrow works. When feeling really frisky, he hearkens back to his old Puritannical upbringing & explains infra- vs. supra-lapsarianism. ---

[QUOTE=Exapno Mapcase] \ To answer the sex question, one of the former live-ins wrote an article for the Canadian newsmagazine MacLean’s recently. She described a rather creepy set-up in which a number of the girls - more than just the three girlfriends - gather on Hef’s bed each night. They take turns sitting on Hef, cowgirl style, for a couple minutes at a time. Then alpha girlfriend Holly exhibits her dominance by blowing Hef. He thens masturbates onto her. Girls who don’t want to partake in the sex wear panties. There is little girl-on-girl action except for occasional kissing and fondling. \ [/QUOTE] Ah. So the “sex” in the videogame - _Playboy: The Mansion_ - is realistic, after all! ---

[/QUOTE] I believe I’ve mentioned this before, and yeah, it’s a weak link, but I have sort of a “six-degrees” separation from Bridget-a [seamstress](http://moviegowns.com/) friend of mine has taken orders from her (Bridget), including one corset top she wore on a magazine cover with Hef and the other two. ---
