You gotta give it up to Hugh Hefner. Dude is like 80+ years old and pretty much has had any girl he ever wanted. He’s the founder of Playboy magazine and has been male whoring it up ever since. He lives in a mansion with a several “girlfriends” and given the show “The Girls Next Door”, you have to assume he takes heaping doses of Viagra and lays down so these young gold diggers can ride him until satisfaction. And who knows maybe he bangs other girls too besides his girlfriends.
Recently he got 3 brand new girlfriends (video below) as the old ones (one of whom got married to Eagles receiver Hank Basket) moved on.
I’ve been thinking about this for awhile and besides the moral implications of glamorizing the life of a playboy bunny to 11 year old girls on the E network, what about the fact that he lives with 3 “girlfriends”. I like the show Big Love, Bill Paxton has 3 fictitious wives in this show, all of whom live in the 3 houses right next door to one another. This 3 wife, multi-child family depicted in the show is considered Polygamist.
Polygamy is the practice of being married to more than one spouse at a time. You may remember the April 2008 raid on a polygamist compound in Texas which was carried by every major news network and talk show for a good period of time last year.
That compound was raided because there was alleged child abuse occurring there and in general on these types of compounds it seems as if girls are forced to marry early into Polygamist families.
Obviously I’m not saying Hugh Hefner is raping little girls, but what is the fundamental difference between the actors pretending to live together in Big Love and Hefner and partners actually living together in The Girls Next Door? In both instances 3 women share one man and engage in co-habitation.
In the Big Love scenario the extended family must try and hide their situation from the community for fear of being ostracized. In the girls next door this scenario is championed. It’s great the girls get naked, take pictures, go on trips together and generally have a worry free life. The obvious difference is that Hef is not married to the “girlfriends” but if you are living with, banging and providing for 3 women that’s about as close as you can come to marriage without a certificate.
Now I’m not telling people how to live their life. Hef wants to live with and be intimate with 3 women who want the same so be it. A woman wants to live with and get rocked by 10 men who want the same, I’m all for that too. All I’m saying is don’t glamorize one scenario in the media and shun the other.
And to elaborate further on my “Kids have it easy nowadays” rant, why couldn’t the E channel and the Girls Next Door be on when I was in my mid teens. I was stuck spanking it to scrambled porn on cable and fake nudie pics of Sandra Bullock I found on CompuServe. Every show these chicks get butt naked and E just blurs out the nipple and ass crack. Then you got whorebag Kim Kardashian doing the same thing the next half hour. But shit what teenage male today is watching TV when there’s free streaming video porn on the internet?
