The notion of the single man began in the 1950's. The idea of the bachelor as a separate life was new and obscure.

Beauty is everywhere - on the campus, in the office, living next door... Nice girls like sex too - it's a natural part of life. Don't be ashamed of it.

I think the Playboy philosophy is very, very connected to the American dream.

Historically the Puritans left England to escape religious persecution, and they promptly turned around and started persecuting the people they didn't agree with - the scarlet letter A, and the stocks and the dunking board came from that. That puritanism is still there.

If you don't encourage healthy sexual expression in public, you get unhealthy sexual expression in private. If you attempt to suppress sex in books, magazines, movies and even everyday conversation, you aren't helping to make sex more private, just more hidden. You're keeping sex in the dark. What we've tried to do is turn on the lights.

I guess you could say, I'm just a typical Methodist kid at heart.
Hugh Hefner
Image
I was a very idealistic, very romantic kid in a very typically Midwestern Methodist repressed home. There was no show of affection of any kind, and I escaped to dreams and fantasies produced, by and large, by the music and the movies of the '30s.

People get their information in different ways now. And we are a little poorer for it, because the way you get information affects what you learn.

I truly believe that age - if you're healthy - age is just a number.

One of the things I've tried to do with my life is redefine the boundaries that I think are very limiting. I'm not suggesting that everybody should have three girlfriends, or necessarily have girlfriends living with them. I think there are many, many options to living your life.

I don't have dinner parties - I eat my dinner in bed.

You really don't create an authoritarian society unless you control the personal choices including the sexual choices of the people.

Playboy isn't like the downscale, male bonding, beer-swilling phenomena that is being promoted now by (some men's magazines). My whole notion was the romantic connection between male and female.

The interesting thing is how one guy, through living out his own fantasies, is living out the fantasies of so many other people.

Creating my own world in a comic or selling my first penny newspaper aged nine was a way of gaining recognition and acceptance by my peers.
