Hef probably went out in the saddle:
With Playboy, he helped slip sex out of the confines of plain brown wrappers and into mainstream conversation.
In 1953, a time when states could legally ban contraceptives and the word “pregnant” was not allowed on “I Love Lucy,” Hefner published the first issue of Playboy, featuring naked photos of Marilyn Monroe and an editorial promise of “humor, sophistication and spice.”
The Great Depression and World War II were over and Playboy soon became forbidden fruit for teens and a bible for men with time and money, primed for the magazine’s prescribed evenings of dimmed lights, hard drinks, soft jazz, deep thoughts and deeper desires. Within a year, circulation neared 200,000. Within five years, it had topped 1 million.
Hefner, the pipe-smoking embodiment of the lifestyle he touted, died at his home of natural causes on Wednesday night, Playboy said in a statement. He was 91.
Hefner and Playboy were brand names worldwide. Asked by The New York Times in 1992 of what he was proudest, Hefner responded: “That I changed attitudes toward sex… That I decontaminated the notion of premarital sex. That gives me great satisfaction.”
He had the upper lip and naso-labial folds of a man who I would have assumed had been at least sexually abused as a child, if not been outright homosexual.
That said he was an excellent example of two things. One, the ignorance of r/K’s power among even those who we are told are the ones who set the trends. Hefner believes he changed attitudes about sex, even though the decline of the Roman Empire featured the same laxening of sexual standards, absent any individual’s efforts on that part. There are no trend setters, there are only trend-riders, and occasionally trend-helpers.
That said, if you have the right psychology, and hit the waves right, you can ride the tides of r/K to great personal success. Hef was the right rabbit at the right moment in history. He probably did have an effect helping along the cultural decline, but only because the conditions were right, and a little push was both possible, and capable of advancing the slide.
Had Hef been born in 1812, he either would have had to hide, or he would have been reduced to being the sleazy guy in town who ran the brothel, whom nobody respectable would associate with openly.
You cannot fight the tides of r/K, but you can ride their waves. For those with the right psychology, and the right timing, the tide’s shift can be very profitable indeed. DO it right, and you can even help along the trends, and in time, be remembered for having some effect.
60 years ago, in the late fifties, this fact would have been very demoralizing for a K-strategist. Today, it should be cause for a personal celebration. It is the rabbits who are fighting a losing battle. All of our actions are pushing the movement to our preordained victory.
Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because the trends are right to be a trend-pusher yourself
“With Playboy, he helped slip sex out of the confines of plain brown wrappers and into mainstream conversation.”
Typical leftwing garbage. He didn’t bring sex into the mainstream, he brought playboyism into the mainstream like some golden calf statue millions of undersatisfied men could glaze at. It was a degeneration of sex, and not even a good one. Internet porn gave playboy a run for their money cause internet porn is basicly the honest version of playboy. No bullshit stories, no bullshit interviews, no sugarcoating(besides from frosted faces) of the thing that it is acutaly about.
But you know what the best thing is about playboyism? Its easier to raid a mansion where one old guy lives with 20 bitches then to raid a village where 20 booty booties have 20 men to protect them plus family. I have my doubt hefners servent would have put up much resistance if some ISIS or MS-13 goon squad would have shown up to loot or occupy the place for themselfs.
Yeah, like I’m going to give any credence to someone who writes “themselfs”. America, where ignorance, lack of humility and the ability to feel shame is paramount.

Sex is either within the safe confines of wedlock or out of it.

From the article
“While the show painted a positive picture of Hugh and the women, Holly’s book reveals the truth was much darker. She says Hef offered her drugs the very first time they met, when she was a 21-year-old waitress working at Hooters. According to her book (as excerpted by Us Weekly), Hef told her the pills (Quaaludes) were called “thigh openers” in the ’70s…
… Even worse, she claims Hef would manipulate his girlfriends to amp up the drama. “I learned Hef was the manipulator and that he pitted us against one another. I realized I wasn’t treated well,” she told Us Weekly.
Holly also claims Hef was controlling over her appearance, spitting at her when she cut her hair shorter and telling her she looked “old, hard and cheap” at one point. Things got so bad, Holly says she even contemplated ending her own life.
The final straw came when she was accused of cheating on him with illusionist Criss Angel in 2008. Holly says Hef offered to leave her US$3 million in his will if she stayed, but she left the mansion and hasn’t seen him again.”
By the way do you think you could do a Psycho test on the man, you know the left and right side picture?
I’ll take a look for a good photo.
Hey anonymous, this as a lesson for young females.
Crystal Hefner (31) his wife since 2011 is to inherit nothing.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4928382/Hugh-Hefner-s-wife-Crystal-Harris-inherit-nothing.html
Unfortunately for her I don’t think she is very marriageable now. She could of got a younger partner maybe someone not 60 years older when she was 25 at the time.
Interesting she got Lyme disease in 2016 and many other health problem. This was related to her breast implants. She got them 8 years (so about 2008) before getting them removed in 2016.

It is ironic that the r-world, which should be heaven on earth, is always such a sad, dark place.
Compare and contrast with:

Looks how fulfilled and well adjusted the men are. Goes to show what a healthy masculine lifestyle looks like in contrast to the lifestyle of Hugh Hefner.
Can you please explain what you mean by ¨facial folds¨ relating to child abuse etc. Thanks in advance
In affect psychology there is a disgust affect, which involves pulling the nasolabial folds up and outward, often while curling the lip somewhat. Here is one example:
To get the most out of that image, cover over everything above the middle of the nose with your hand, and just look at the upper lip and mouth.
I have noted a subset of gays exhibit a variation of this that pulls the naolabial fold outward slightly more than simple disgust, and often includes a nostril flare. I also notice this in girls who have been sexually abused. I think the first time I noticed it was in a young brunette pornstar who was profiled on Nightline. I do not remember her name, but I do remember she came from a Mormon family, and they said she was sexually abused at an early age by a relative, maybe fourteen. In the episode she immediately fell for a male costar on a trip to Italy, until he turned a porn scene into a violent scene, inexplicably transitioning to choking her, pilling he rup by the neck, and slapping her back and forth from side to side while grabbing her neck, as he acted out the acts they were assigned. She was wrecked right after it, crying and acting like it was nothing at the same time, as a crew member tried to comfort her. It was pretty awful. But all along the way as they interviewed her, I couldn’t help but notice what looked odd to me – that strange flaring of the nostrils and pulling that nasolabial fold up and outward to each side. Then I began to notice it in many, but not all, gays, usually the ones who seem the most neurotic (Milo does not have it, FWIW).
Hef is an excellent example of this – I would almost say textbook. In fact, he may be the most extreme example I have ever seen:
Cover over everything above the middle of Hef’s nose, and focus on the upper lip and mouth. Notice also Hef has no upper lip. It is curled under. That is usually a sign of quickness to anger or more often frustration.
Here is a gay guy who has it to a much lesser degree:
Notice, he is even curling the upper lip like the model in the first photo. Also, notice he is a different model of gay from Milo, psychologically, so I assume it means something psychological.
I make that expression myself in a mirror, and try to visualize what I feel, as affect psychology advises to understand affect, but it is deeper than an emotion. It is a mixture of disgust, horror, and dislike/extreme contempt for a person or situation. I almost wonder if the act of molestation is so intense for some, and it triggers that mixture of emotions so intensely, it burns that mixture of emotions into the brain so deeply that they wear the affect of that experience the rest of their lives, and it shows, even when they smile, or try to appear neutral. It might even be some sort of outward manifestation of a fundamental change in their amygdala.
There was an unauthorized book written about the goings on at the mansion by a bunny that lived there for a while as one of Hefs girlfriends. She said Hef liked to watch gay porn and have anal sex with Holly. It may not be true but I find it hard to believe it was published without massive law suits if it wasn’t.
It is hard to imagine anyone could take the idea of a beautiful mansion, full of beautiful flirty women who liked to take their clothes off and run around naked, and make it discomfiting to the point I’d dread going there, but Hef certainly did. That place was like a living nightmare.
“He had the upper lip and naso-labial folds of a man who I would have assumed had been at least sexually abused as a child, if not been outright homosexual.”
This is absolutely incredible. Do you write more about this kind of thing in your book? I’ve just been enjoying your blog posts but would like to learn about this kind of analysis.
No, it is not in the book. Facial analysis is just a sort of hobby that pops up now and again on the blog, sometimes recounting things from others, and sometimes anecdotal observations I have noticed through life. The nasolabial fold I was referencing is very similar to an extreme form of what affect psychology refers to as disgust affect. I find that interesting in that homosexuals have an unusually low level of disgust as a group, yet I see many who exhibit an extreme form of disgust affect on the upper lip/nasolabial fold, and they seem to express it constantly. I have no idea why, but I am quite sure the disgust affect, its expression being centered in the amygdala (which has a documented structural difference in gays) and a documented aberration in psychological disgust are all somehow related.
Update – oddly enough I had never seen this before, but just decided to search on Hugh Hefner being gay. Turns out he may have been:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4566642/hugh-hefner-sex-men-gay-rights-sexual-revolution/
I’d be shocked if he were not also a victim of very early-onset childhood sexual abuse. Probably much of his life course was set in that experience, and out of his control from that moment forward.
I would agree that you could be onto something, because the first thing that popped into mind when I read your remark about the upper lip/nasio-labial fold was Corey Feldman. Feldman has been vocal about his sexual abuse as a child actor in Hollywood, and he was friendly/acquainted with Hefner. He’s been on about Hefner’s death on his Twitter account.
Both appear to have the same upper lip and nasio-labial fold look, and I’ve often wondered about certain people who just have a certain look to them. It’s difficult to articulate; I used to think it was around the eyes mostly but now you’ve got me looking at the mouth region.
I can’t remember where I saw it but computers using neural algorithms can tell if someone is gay with great accuracy just by being shown a persons face. Maybe that’s what it’s seeing. I believe the level of accuracy was around 80%. Very high.
