Literotica likely wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. Probably a lot of people wouldn't be around if it weren't for him, also!

The jokes are already writing themselves on Twitter.

"After 20 years of Viagra, they're probably gonna have trouble closing the coffin."

"I wanna say he's going to a better place, but I'm not so sure."

60+ years of pajamas till 4:00pm did a body good. Rest easy, Hef. You deserve it.

I'm pretty sure that he was the first person to say the word "penis" on Saturday Night Live.

i'm sure there's at least few plastic, blonde bimbos feeling fairly ambivalent over the fact that they no longer have to fuck some old geezer for spending money.

@darrenrovell: The Playboy Mansion is now owned by @JDMetro, who paid $100M for it & agreed to lease it to Hefner for $1M a year for as long as he lived. https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/913245558181171200/photo/1

He was actually...kinda handsome younger. I just knew him as a dirty old man, I never saw what he looked like in his prime.

They all gotta go eventually, and I can't deny that he was a driving force in getting sexual stuff to not be as taboo. People back in those days just did not talk about it. If they masturbated it was a shameful sin that they kept to themselves. He had to have had tons of opposition getting his magazine out there! So kudos to him for that at least. Really all I know about him generally involves, founder of Playboy, millionaire, tons of young blond girlfriends, dirty old pervert, might be sexist?

Idk though, godspeed to this legend, and yes, make sure he won't be pitching a tent in the coffin lol.

I want to believe that he went out mid stroke into some big titted starlet.

Also, anyone who thinks he was only about a tits and ass mag should delve a little deeper into his philanthropic work. He was a pretty class act.



Heh. Deeper.
