P la yb oy talks more about sex than any o ther subject It is pa rt of .

the pleasure approach to life And much of this talk reveals what is to

me an inadequ ate co ncept It is n ot easy to determine what the play

P la yb oy al s o presents a narrow and restricted V iew Of sex In fact .

( Pla yb o y December 1 969 p

S exual activity can co mm unicate s p ecific attitudes between two

perso ns ab out each other But meanin gful co mmunication amo ng .
,

o ther things must be honest In the l anguage o f sexual signal and

deeper the intimacy the deeper the feeling for one another should be .

Otherwise communication through sex becomes dishonest o r mean

,

in gles s Sex is reduced to physical stim ulatio ns and is ro b bed of its

.

distinctly human qu ality .

P la yb oy also fails to stress the impact of sex particularly sexual ,

intercourse on personality This fail ure may be b ut another rev ela

, .

tion of Pla yb o y s shallo w V iew of sex : It is so insignificant a thing that

’

it really a ffects us very little o ther th an bringing a moment of physical

pleas ure Or it may be a nother as pect of the bias toward n on involve
.

’
ment : Do n t get so involved that the relatio n affects yo u E ither case .

is a denial of the fact that sexual intercourse do es have a significant

effect on personality .

The playboy philosophy contains highly questionable historical ,

psych o logical and sociolo gical interpretations It is frequently vagu e

, .

and sometimes inaccurate But the main problem is not what the play .

b oy philosophy says I t is what it leaves u nsaid We need s ome clear . .

thinking about sex some insights on the iss u es created b y a changing

world Although Pla yb oy has raised many questions it has pro vided n o

,

new approach It talks ab out what is permissible b ut what is best?

.
,

It implies that adultery is s ometimes j ustified b ut when and why? It ,

lacks a clear statement of what the ideal in sex should be .

Pla yb oy dismisses any suggestion that sex is impo rtant enou gh ,

powerful enough and wonderful enough to need careful discipline ,

.
 ’

The u su al criticism is that s uch an attitude denies man s sexual nature .

On the contrary a disciplined appro ach is a reco gnition of man s sexual

nature It manifests a desire to see that nature is used for man s

And of course pregnancy out of wedlock and venereal disease

, ,

have n ot been eliminated by the pill and penicillin In fact the trend .
,

has been up in recent years for both o ut of wedlock births an d venereal - -

disease ( Ne w Y ork Tim es February 9 1 970 p , Hefner no tes ,

. .

this trend b ut blames it o n puritanical restrictio n of information abo ut

venereal disease and contraception .

The playbo y philosophy is also potentially destructiv e in that it

could undermine marriage P la yb oy makes no plea fo r the abolition
.

of marriage and family Pla yb oy claims that its approach to life will
.

make fo r happier more stable homes The reasoning in the p layboy

, .

p hilosophy is this : A play p eriod befo re marriage will help a man

mature and make him m ore s uitable for family life ; further after ,

maturing a bit he will be better qualifie d to determine what s o rt of

person he will find compatible ( Hefner pp 1 64 1 7 6 .
,
.
, ,
”
But why should ten o r fifteen years o f playb o y existence prepare
a man for a stable family life ? Why should numero us premarital
‘

sexual exp eriences assist a man to practice fidelity in marriage ? Isn t

’

it m ore likely that just the opposite would be the case ?

Another u nres o lv ed point in the Pla yb o y plan fo r marriage is who
will the playboy marry? If he marries the girl o f his p layboy dreams
she will be a fr esh frisky thing similar to the monthly center foldo ut
,
.

If this is the case what is to happen ten or fifteen years later when a
,

man s playmate is not the picture Of sex she used to be ? Is b e justified

’

in tu rning her in fo r a new model ? And what abo ut the girls ? Accord
”
ing to the playboy phil o sophy shouldn t they have a chance to play
’

,
befo re marriage too ? But if they d o wo n t they be p ast their according
’

, ,
“
to Pla ym a te prime by the time they marry ? If they don t play will
’
-

they n ot according to Pla yb o y be immature and unable to j ud g e

, ,

really what they want in a husband ? The idea is simp ly not work able
n o t if it is kep t within the g uidelines of the p layb oy p hilosophy .

1
In spite o f these few exp ressed concerns for marriage the bulk of ,

Pla yb oy is basically anti marriage Throu gh stories cartoo ns and j okes

-
.
, ,

the message comes throu gh clearly : for the playboy marriage is a ,

trap to be avo ided E ditorial comments rev eal a m ore s ubtle b ut still
.
!

o b vi o u s anti marriage sentiment Pla yb o y indicates that ma rriage comes

-
.

when p laytime is over a pretty depressing forbidding picture , ,

especially for the p layb oy .

The pleas ure approach to life can be destru ctive to hum an rela
tions in general It can degenerate easily into using people as things
.

t o gain pleas ure M a n has enou gh temp tati o n in this direction withou t
.

’
, ,

girls as playt hings as toys fo r the p layb oy They c an be used to bring

Sometimes Pla yb oy is quite exp licit in its view of women as toys ,

having valu e mainly becau se they bring pleas ure to the playboy I n

The Bible insists that all pers ons be treated as hav ing worth in

Benny had his black ha ir parted in the center and slicked back It .

he was that good .

At 2 1 he took the lightweight crown from Freddie Welsh and
