'08
Never let it be said that Hugh Hefner’s job, although full of buxom perks, is stress free or without it’s sex-related risks. The now 82 year-old softcore media mogul once faced death in a bizarre sex toy incident, presumably in 1977 when he was 52. His hot but quick-thinking partner saved the day and they probably went on to screw several more times out of sheer gratitude for being alive.
There’s a new Hefner biography coming out called “Mr Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream
“Hefner divulges he almost died doing what he loves best while he was dating ‘Playboy’ Playmate Sondra Theodore,” said a publishing source familiar with the book.
The incident happened when Hef and Sondra, the July 1977 Playmate, were in bed making love with a small sex toy. Somehow, the toy became lodged in Hef’s throat, said the source.
“He fell back on the bed, unable to breathe. But Sondra didn’t realize what had happened, said the source.
“Then Hef began choking and was about to pass out. Sondra quickly started pumping his chest until the toy was dislodged. What a way that would have been for him to go!”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, July 14, 2008]
Another story that author Steven Watts tells is of a foursome Hefner once had with his younger brother Keith, now 79, and both their wives at the time. Hugh all too willingly screwed Keith’s wife, but Hugh’s first wife balked at having sex with Keith.
Hugh Hefner also admits to a one-time homosexual experience in which he received oral sex from a man. He calls the book “the most authoritative book ever written about me” and says “it’s all essentially true.” He probably figures he’s getting on in age and may as well let it all be known.
This is a man who has three feuding live-in girlfriends, the youngest of whom is 48 years younger than he is. He almost died over 30 years ago. He probably doesn’t give a shit what’s printed about him now.
There’s also a movie coming about Heff’s life. The planned title is Playboy and it will be directed by Brett Ratner.

Way way way too much info.
Don’t get this guy, don’t get the women who get this guy, just don’t get any of it.
-
Am I the only one who finds none of these women beautiful or the least bit interesting?
The book will fly off shelves. It will have to be sealed so people like me, who don’t want to buy it but do want the juicy details, won’t be able to stand in the bookstore surreptisiously reading the whole thing. -
Hugh Hefner is an icon and a role model. I named my cat “Hef” after him.
Hef always has something positive to say (the person not the cat.) -
I don’t understand how someone who exploits women is seen as an icon
-
“OH no, blah blah…degrading to women…blah blah…” you folks are freakin laughable to say the least. This is a man who started an entire multimillion dollar industry by doing what he did best. Being a “Playboy” and inspiring millions of men to pick up a magazine and take a load off. Hugh hefner is not degrading to women. The thousands upon thousands of women willing to take off their clothes for a glimse at fifteen minutes in the spotlight; women that are trying to cash in on good looks instead of years of hard work; that is what is degrading to women. This guy just let everyone glance at tasteful pictures of nude women and give them a good arcticle to read, not chain them to a basement wall. and if it weren’t for overconservative morons like you, america could smoke in bars, gays would be able to marry, and i would be able to use the words that I want to say about you without them being retracted or edited away. grow the !@#$% up hag.

The thing with Hef and Playboy magazine is that most people today (especially guys) don’t realize how bad it was in the 50’s and 60’s when Playboy first started.
There was no internet, no “R-rated” movies, no 500+ “skin mags” at your local newsstand - NOTHING. I truly respect the man for what he did to ‘liberate’ (that coming from a guy who was coming-of-age at that time) the idea that women could be their own persons, have ideas and goals, not need a man to define themselves - AND get naked!
Sure - on the scale of curing Polio and putting a Man on the Moon - not a biggie. For millions of young men everywhere, it was a watershed in discovering their sexuality and learning about a lot of cool stuff we could buy and enjoy (cars, food, wine, etc.)
Of course, *I* only read it for the articles…
-
It’s really funny. Look past the bleach blond hair and silicone breasts, all three of the girls in the pictures are DOGS.
-
Ah, to have my hopes dashed to bits. To find out after the teaser headline that, not only was the episode in the distant past, but that it didn’t stop the old putz in his tracks. Yeah, he brought sex forward in a way, but maybe there are better ways to do that????
-
How did he “liberate” women if they all have to have sex with him to even qualify for playmate of the year? He does however contribute to STD’s. Way to go Hef!
-
ever watch the “Girls next Door?” contrary to the whole Playboy myth, these women are about the most sexless things I have ever seen.
-
I respect the man for doing what he did at a time he did it, but I don’t like it. And yeah, the women he chooses are all ugly, silicon copies of one another. That is definitely NOT sexy
-
He’s a sex addict.
Just another addiction like drugs and alcohol.
Too bad he couldn’t have channeled his energy for something positive to help mankind.
But no, he just screws alot.
-
I won’t be buying it. It’s all a bit sad.
-
Judging by the comments on this topic it looks like I should be ashamed that my first reaction was….
-
I think you are being too kind when you say there is only 48 year between Hef and Kendra. She’s around 22, so there almost 60 years between them. Even more disgusting.
-
These girls are not that attractive in the face but they are uninhibited and do have good bodies. The one there, Bridget? is very average looking and she really has to work at making herself look good. They are very fortunate to have made a fortune as Hef’s girls. When it all ends they will walk away and never have to work again.
-
Kendra just turned 23 on the 12 of June. 82-23= 59 years different. ewww.
I’d so read his Bio/watch the movie -
In reality I bet they are all older than what they say. Kendra looks about 27 at least. Holly has been saying she’s 29 for the last few years now. She looks about 36. Bridget probably is pushing 40.
-
I’m sure that the blonde things beside him chipped a tooth with a vibrator, first time out.
-
@Julia: But who cares! They’ve found the golden penis! They don’t have to really admit their age because one Hef finally kicks it, they’ll be sitting pretty.
Off topic: I met some random Playboy promoters in Chicago, and they were every bit as skanky as you would imaine Playboy promoters to be. I had to take a shower once I got home
-
Is it wrong to wonder what exactly the sex toy was??
-
I watch Girls Next Door when it’s on, and it is pretty interesting. It’s more like he built a giant sorority house and the initiation is to have sex with him. But they go and do fun stuff all of the time, which can’t be bad. I just wonder what the parents of these girls think about how their daughters are making their living.
-
whats the difference between these women and prostitiutes? just saying
-
I know dancers..well…strippers that clear 2k a week…who’s exploiting who?
-
I’d totally be a Girl Next Door. Not only do I think Hef is sexy, he’s also clearly not opposed to paying for his girlfriends’ plastic surgery.
For the record, Bridget is lovely.
-
Strike out the word “almost” from the headline and you’d have made my day.
IMO those women have experienced abuse in their childhood (as have more than 70% of prostitutes, btw.) and Hefner is taking advantage of their damaged self-esteem and their need to re-enact the trauma.
-
I’m sick of hearing how these girls are exploited. No one is forcing these girls to be naked or have sex with Hef, They want to do it because they like the perks.
They are all adults and they are all fully know what the sitution is: The girls do sexual things and are sexy and arm candy in exchange for living at the mansion, partying, and $$. Everyone is benefitting!!!
I don’t think I’d be able to have sex with such an old guy, but if these girls are willing to, then that is their business.
BTW I think Bridget is beautiful!!!
-
@Anne, I’m wondering the same thing. What sex toy got lodged in his throat where he almost choked to death?
-
@All who chose to wish death, or ill will torwards hef aka puffen, holly aka muffen, bridget, and kendra… I am a mom of three kids, three cats, and one husband
I watch The Girls Nextdoor and 
Love the show, hef is a kind and generous man, he may be much much older then his girlfriends but he is only as old as he feels! back in the day I am sure he had many sexapaids, and everything else most people did do in the sixty’s and seventy’s, but that was then and this is now. He loves life he welcomes people into both of his homes, every sunday they have brunch @ the house and tons of friends and family come and eat and talk like any other family. They also have movie night every week. Hef has gone from a man who would not fly anywhere, just wanted to stay at home, to traveling to see kendras mom and grandparents at her home. And now he has traveled many places with his three lovely girlfriends. When it comes to Holly, bridget, and kendra I feel they are wonderful, caring, sweet, very sexy and gorgous women just because they have big hair, and big breast’s does not mean they are fake goldigger’s. Look past that and they are wonderful, and really care about each other, and Hef. One Big happy family! I will read the book and watch the movie and someday get to Vagas and see the all new playboy club, and for as long as it is on, I will be a big fan of the girls nextdoor, and Hef. Oh (p.s. I an very glad he did not die) 
-
Ha, ha, one time homo experience, give me a break! Any man that engages in a foursome with his own brother is a sick fuck, period. I am 67 years old now, a former hustler/escort and physique model.
It was common knowledge that Hugh Hefner had a “Homo” relationship with a John Holmes, who had a 12″ slong, back in the day, maybe, that 12″ was what Hugh got stuck in his throat?
Many of my friends, hustlers got invited to the Playboy Mansion back in the day, trust me, they did not go there to screw chicks!
-
See now, Ron, you’ve just made this story 100 times more interesting. I think I’d rather read your version of events than this ‘tell-all’ bio he’s flogging. Yours sounds like a MUCH more absorbing read.
-
Yes, Ron do tell MORE!
-
Gross man - let’s hope that he comes back as a homeless beggar woman who dies a virgin. Karma is always exact.
-
Hey Ron, do you know what the sex toy was? I have a one track mind.
-
sooooo ron…a hustler “back in the day” yeah right! Hef’s women are beautiful inside and out well except for kendrai got a feeling ron likes stories and is not above making them up
-
I must say I was a little shocked at these replies, but also not at the same time. I’m glad Hef did what he did to liberate a lot of people into being comfortable with sexuality. As far as the girls go…sex sells, dont blame Hef for scocieties ways, he never forced these girls to do what they do, and it has made a lot of them very successful.
-
I’m glad Hef did what he did to liberate a lot of people into being comfortable with sexuality.
Hef will always be a hero to some. Sad.
-
Whoa Ron, way to go bud! I´d rather read your version too. Can straight men have one-time homo sex? I hope not, or I left my husband for nothing…
-
I’m pretty cool with it all and I love the show, I’m just wondering only because of my own curosity, how does the sex thing work I mean is it like the Morman thing? (please I did not mean to offend any mormons) I just meant the ones with multiple wives, like does he Holly, tonight I’ll be slepping with Bridget, and how can that not cause problems?
