Playboy founder Hugh Hefner dies at the age of 91

Hugh Hefner, the creator of one of the world's sexiest magazines, has been criticised by his last wife, Crystal Hefner, for not being good at sex.

In her memoir Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself, she shares her experiences from when she first joined the Playboy world in 2008 at the age of 21.

Crystal, who was 60 years younger than Hugh, married him in 2012 and stayed with him until he passed away in 2017.

However, she reveals that they didn't often consummate their marriage, which was a relief to her.

In her book, Crystal describes their first time having sex, which happened the night they met at a Halloween party, as "odd and robotic."

She added: "Like Hef was just going through the motions of something that had once been fun and sexy. Or maybe it was never fun and sexy."

Crystal also suggested that Hugh wasn't open to feedback about his performance in bed. "I think when you have so much money and power and so many 'yes people' around you, you just stick with your own narrative in your mind.

"And then everyone else just goes along with it," she said.

In her memoir, Crystal made some shocking revelations about her sex life with Hugh Hefner.

She said: "There was nothing sexy about it," and "It was about power and control and leverage. It was a performance. I was auditioning for a part."

The former Playboy star even questioned his understanding of sex, writing: "He seemed less sex-savvy than some of the teenage boys I'd been with years ago."

Crystal also claimed that Hugh didn't understand the concept of mutual pleasure.

"It was clear to me Hef had never taken a moment in his entire life to figure out how to please someone else," she said.

Her book also revealed some strict rules that Hugh had set for her.

She reportedly "could not have French manicures" or her belly button pierced because Hugh thought it was "trashy."
