In other words, in the book, the characters were lying down, and probably not just kissing. It’s funny that this is observed by a rather frumpy woman. Cole is exploring women’s sexual fantasies as well as men’s.

She adds: “It must be remembered that Hefner was a gifted editor who knew how to produce a magazine that had great visual style and that was a riveting combination of pictorial with print design. Everything about Playboy as a visual object, whether you liked the magazine or not, was lively and often ravishing.... I would hope that people could see the positives in the Playboy sexual landscape—the foregrounding of pleasure and fun and humor. Sex is not a tragedy, it's a comedy! (Laughs.)” For years, the seemingly ageless Hefner embodied the “Playboy lifestyle” as the pajama-clad sybarite who worked from his bed, threw lavish parties and inhabited the Playboy Mansion with an ever-changing harem of well-turned young beauties. Sort of a personal retaliation, my becoming editor of Shaft. The first time this journalistic abortion printed my name, they misspelled it. 1 VandenBergh, Gary (2001).

Drugs were undoubtedly part of the procedure. But recreational drugs have been part of American sex lives for years, so Hef was scarcely doing anything that was socially unusual.In England, the erotic comic 'Jane at War' by Norman Pett helped bolster the morale of British soldiers during World War II. The other remarkable thing about the only issue of the Shaft that Hef edited is that his editorial reveals his thinking on sexual matters already firmly in place—or, as you might say, his arrested development fully arrested. And in that, he was in perfect step with the rest of American manhood. Here's the whole editorial:

After reaching its peak in the 1970s, Playboy saw this decline in circulation and cultural relevance due to competition in the field it founded—first from Penthouse, then from Oui (which was published by Playboy as a spin-off) and Gallery in the 1970s; later from pornographic videos; and then from lad mags such as Maxim, FHM, and Stuff. In response, Playboy attempted to re-assert its hold on the 18- to 35-year-old male demographic through slight changes to content and focusing on issues and personalities more appropriate to its audience—such as hip-hop artists being featured in the Playboy Interview. With an IQ of 152, Hef graduated in two-and-a-half years (in February 1949) with a BA in psychology and a double minor in creative writing and arts. While enrolled at the U of I, he edited an issue of an off-campus humor magazine, Shaft, which, under Hef’s superintending eye, was an incipient Playboy.Nobody could draw a gorgeous girl with the gusto and loving care of Cole… those langorous, full-breasted, ample-hipped sirens with the sooty eyes, pouting mouths and deep-dish navels.” Hefner’s being an attractive and very very wealthy man didn’t hurt his chances either. Wealth and power are, after all, aphrodisiac. And as Playboy’s fame and power grew, Hefner clearly realized he could deploy such matters to his advantage personally—sexually—as THE Playboy living the life of his adolescent fantasy. If she doesn’t sound like someone with a case of regret turning to revenge, I don’t know what does. In yet another maneuver to give the magazine cultural heft, Playboy featured extensive (usually several thousand-word) interviews of public figures—artists, architects, economists, composers, conductors, film directors, journalists, novelists, playwrights, religious figures, politicians, athletes, and race car drivers. When they returned to the mansion, they’d all retire to Hef’s bedroom, which was equipped with various amusements for sexual entertainment. While they’d all watch a pornographic movie, one of them would give oral sex to Hef to get him erect. Then, he’d have sex with one or more of the group. If a girl didn’t want to have sex with Hef that night, she’d wear panties. Makes me wonder what would happen if they all showed up wearing panties some night.

Absolutely not!” she said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter’s Jeanie Pyun. “The central theme of my wing of pro-sex feminism is that all celebrations of the sexual human body are positive. Second-wave feminism went off the rails when it was totally unable to deal with erotic imagery, which has been a central feature of the entire history of Western art ever since Greek nudes.” There's a special 'knotty' niche in the comics world, as in the real world, for S&M and bondage comics that feature long-legged, high-heeled mistresses who feel compelled to discipline anything from naughty schoolgirls to high-powered businessmen. These stories can be anything from the soft bondage of Saudelli to the violently sadistic scenes of Pichard... Stanton, Eneg and Willie (in his book 'The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline') have brought this genre to artistic heights. What's the difference between the Circus and the p**... Mansion? The Circus features a cunning array of stunts. VandenBergh 2001, pp.203, 205; Kitchen 2001, pp.213, 221–222, 225; Kitchen & Buhle 2009, pp.211–212, 226. I have always taken the position that the men's magazines—from the glossiest and most sophisticated to the rawest and raunchiest—represent the brute reality of sexuality. Pornography is not a distortion. It is not a sexist twisting of the facts of life but a kind of peephole into the roiling, primitive animal energies that are at the heart of sexual attraction and desire.”
