Tribute to Hef

We lost a pioneer and an unofficial poly forefather today at the ripe old age of 91. Wouldn't surprise me if he had a blow out from the use of viagra. A ledgenary figure both on and off the court I'm sure that how he would have wanted to go.


God bless and we thank you and salute you. :D:D
 
Hmmm, Wikipedia doesn't say what the cause of death was. Old age, plain and simple?
 
Well done, Hef - I offer a toast of salute - in honor of your milestone contribution to the sexual liberation of western civilization.

(The news said that he passed of "natural causes" - probably just "old age").
 
I never got the impression that there was much love involved in Hef's relationships, so I'd hesitate to label them "poly".
 
I always thought they were more for show than anything. However I do think he contributed to the sexual revolution. And he did put non-monogamy out into the spotlight, even if it was mostly for titillation.
 
The original playboy has left the building. Dim the lights.
 
Like most successful entrepreneurs, his heart belonged to his business empire. He never claimed to have successful or even deep love relationships, but he sure brought "fucking around" out of the shadows and did a lot to lift the shame of sexuality in general. I don't know if Western culture would have had much of a sexual revolution without him.
