Just one? What’s wrong with you?
What Anamorphic said, if you didn’t want to use foul language, you should have used some other language. All you did was use foul language, and spell it poorly. 
Cyningablod, Hef doesn’t live a lifestyle I’d personally choose. Neither do Willie Nelson, Bill Gates, Steve Irwin (before he went swimming with the rays), or Stephen Harper. To each his own, I guess.
I don’t think I like you very much.
One thing you can give him credit for is Batman. In the early 60’s, Batman was in the basement of DC’s catalog. For larfs, Hefner would show the old 1940’s serials at the mansion. The right people caught on, and decided to reboot it for camp value as a TV show; which begat 80’s Dark Knight graphic novels, the Tim Burton movies, and the Christian Bale franchise.
When I look at him, I can’t help but picture his little shriveled penis. That I cannot forgive.
Ah, but that shriveled lil thing has been places and done things. . .
Or so I assume.
If these balls could talk…
I remember Mike Royko’s column about Hefner, written back in the 1960’s that called Hef “the world’s most over-rated playboy,”. Mike contended that Hef’s mansion on the Near Northside of Chicago was just a supersized version of a suburban split-level with built in pool. I can’t find the column online, so here are some quotes:
"This, then, is his private kingdom, his idea of high living, the fulfillment of his great dreams–all he stands for.
Except for the fact that it is bigger and all paid for…Hefner’s kingdom is the same kingdom the 5:15 suburban commuter is rushing home to. Item by item, it’s middle-class, sub-development living."
Mike went on to describe the TV and movies room, the completely furnished basement with wet bar, his private apartment or “den”, etc.
“That’s the king of the playboys for you, complete with backyard pool in the basement, stereo, home movies, TV, finished basement with bar, attached garage…And he’s a stay-at-home too…”
Mike then describes his “Uncle Rudy” who was married four times and pinched in a bookie raid, and a swinger at the “over-40’s” dances.
He ends the column with “If Hugh Hefner is a playboy, then Uncle Rudy is King Farouk.”
Ah Mike, how I do miss you.
Two Many Cats that nails what I find sad about Hefner. His coolness has a desperate quality to it, like when Steve Martin’s character gets rich in The Jerk. The jazz and the literature all has the air of affectation, while he’s pretty much having sex with women who are paid to do so. He has put all this money and effort in to a fantasy that is pretty lame.
He didn’t start out rich you know.
A lot of comments in this thread seem to be focusing on the fact that he’s old (ewww, ick, an old man having sex OMFG!). As if being older means he has to behave differently than if he were younger.
IMHO, stop it all you ageists.
The man’s an incubus–like George Burns only more flamboyant. He’d have perished naturally long ago but for his ritual feasting upon the souls of young women. He’s not icky because he’s old, he’s icky because he’s old and apparently possessed of an unnatural virility. Back before the Democrats killed God and morality we as a society would have burnt him at the stake. And then taken his gold. And his women.
I wouldn’t find it a problem if he was having a normal relationship with a wife roughly his own age. However, if he’s living with several women roughly 60 years younger than he is, it does seem rather icky.
In my mind I always conflate him with Howard Hughes. Why? Cocks pistol Hop into the Spruce Moose, I’ll explain on the way.
No, I don’t know, I just don’t have room for two rich reclusive eccentrics with alliterative H names. Shouldn’t be allowed.
He’s not really that virile. He has to have a lot of stuff done to him to get off now. I mean, he may be more virile than the typical guy his age, but I don’t know.
I mostly have a problem with the fact that he has so many girls, and replaces them with clones. Not only is it similar to pedophiles, having to get a new partner when one grows up, but it also suggests that he is very misogynistic–any woman that looks similar will do.
Also, Inigo: why is it bad for him (or the rest of us) to judge Hef, but it’s okay for you to judge the OP? We know more about Hef than you do about Cyn.
I daresay some men would envy an 84-year old sleeping with beautiful playmates every night.
A question I’d have for lawyers is: where does the “bigamy” line get crossed? A Mormon was arrested a few years ago for calling multiple partners “wives” even though he’d never tried to legally marry more than one. Would he have been OK if he called them “girlfriends”?
Yeah, I find that sad, too. I look forward to being with my wife when I’m 84. As mentioned upthread his whole act is just sad and so “suburban” for lack of a better term.
Out of curiosity, how many folks do you know in the 'burbs who live in Playboy mansions?
It’s obvious I don’t live in nearly as interesting a neighborhood as I thought I did.
He seems to have a wonderful relationship with Mary O’Connor the 80 year old secretary of 40+ years, She is devoted to him and he in turn trusts her in business decisions and the running of the mansion.

How do you know any will do? He has his pick from many thousands of women, if any will do, why does he keep only a few at a time? Why have any girlfriends at all instead of a constant revolving door of them?
It makes perfect sense that when you have your pick, that you’ll choose ones that fit your idea of beauty.
