(Reuters) - Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, who helped usher in the 1960s sexual revolution with his groundbreaking men's magazine and built a business empire around his libertine lifestyle, died on Wednesday at the age of 91, Playboy Enterprises said.

 

Hefner, once called the "prophet of pop hedonism" by Time magazine, peacefully passed away at his home, Playboy Enterprises said in a statement.

 

Hefner was sometimes characterized as an oversexed Peter Pan as he kept a harem of young blondes that numbered as many as seven at his legendary Playboy Mansion. This was chronicled in "The Girls Next Door," a TV reality show that aired from 2005 through 2010. He said that thanks to the impotency-fighting drug Viagra he continued exercising his libido into his 80s.

 

"I'm never going to grow up," Hefner said in a CNN interview when he was 82. "Staying young is what it is all about for me. Holding on to the boy and long ago I decided that age really didn't matter and as long as the ladies ... feel the same way, that's fine with me."

The man who had more pussies than the old cat lady down the road...

he has lived long and shaggfull life, farewell warrior of the bedroom...

Wow, 91.  Hugh lived a good life, one that most can only dream of.  I think some expats in Thailand may find a certain connection with this dude, i.e., living life to the fullest and not worrying about what others may think.  His quote: "I'm never going to grow up," Hefner said in a CNN interview when he was 82. "Staying young is what it is all about for me. Holding on to the boy and long ago I decided that age really didn't matter and as long as the ladies ... feel the same way, that's fine with me."  Amen.

 

As for the photo in the OP...gotta love cowgirls.

RIP.

Sandy and Mandy don't look very "natural" to me

 

R.I.P Hugh.

Ah, the sexpatriate's hero.

 

This guy and his predilection for women less than a third of his age (towards the end) served as an inspiration for most of the old dudes pitched up in Thailand . . . . even if they couldn't afford blondes with blue eyes

Hope he went out during a 3some. It's how I would want to go.

In related news.... the stock of Viagra maker Pfizer Pharmaceutical plummets!

What a life! More pussy than the KanKoon Kat Sanctuary  - enough to last a man 10 life times, AND he dies peacefully at home in his bed. How good does a life get. RIP. The guests at his funeral should be a sight to see. Ten thousand tearful blondes at least.

Will he go to heaven or hell.....whichever it will be much brighter for his presence

R.I.P.

I suspect that a lot of the low rent sexpats in Thailand will want today to be declared an international day of mourning.

Well, I'm a high-rent sexpat of impeccable taste and savoir faire, an d I demand that today be declared a global holiday. The bar owners of Pattaya should be forced to drop all bar fines on this day.

RIP HH

PS: Are blue-eyed blondes more expensive where you come from?

"Bury me in my bathrobe"

RIP, Hef

 

The one and only punter that would never have copped a YMMV in a Bar full of girlie choices

Thanks to him we have 80 year old sexpats in Pattaya. 

He was a true role model.

May I take over Sandy and Mandy from now on ?

No idea, mate.

All mine had proper, well-paid days jobs in the City

The sad story here is that Hugh, would not be so happy with many of the posters as they seems to think.

RIP!

Happy for him that he lived such a long and happy life.

His political views were fantastic. Too bad he didn't run for president.

But only 1000 sexual partners? You straight guys have a low bar.

Is it just me?

After 14 years living here full time I just don't get white blondes with silicone tits anymore.

No, I think that goes for everybody. They are hard to get here

You can’t say he’s gone to a better place.

RIP, old role model, RIP
