Hugh Hefner, the late founder of Playboy, has been the subject of many revelations in recent months.
Many ex-wives and girlfriends have come out to discuss how Hefner utilised manipulation and abuse against them.
The majority of these revelations were made public thanks to the “Girls Next Level” podcast, which is hosted by Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, two of Hef’s ex-wives.
Holly opened the discussion on a recent show by disclosing that Hugh had an unhygienic bedroom habit that frequently resulted in health issues for his various partners.
“Hef would use baby oil as lube,” Madison revealed.
“I do not recommend this. It is an infection waiting to happen. It’s disgusting. I don’t know what his hang-up was with it,” Holly continued.
“It took to the point where I was constantly irritated by this baby oil because it throws off your pH, so you’re constantly going to like [having] yeast infections.”
Madison continued by saying that she had discussed her worries with Hefner and her doctor, but Hefner seemed indifferent.
“I remember talking to the gynecologist about it and then telling Hef, ‘You need to stop using baby oil. I can’t use it,’ and even telling him the gynecologist agreed with me, and he would argue with me and be like, ‘Well people use baby oil on babies,’” she recalled.
“And I’m like, ‘Yeah, on their skin. Not internally. You’re not supposed to put it there.’”
Hef continued to use his preferred lubrication without Holly’s permission, which made the problem worse.
“Then it got to the point where I would refuse to use it, but then other people would tell me that he would — in the bedroom — put it on his hand and then out it on me when my back was turned and I didn’t know he was doing it,” she explained.
“Which is so foul and so non-consensual and so gross,” Holly continued.
“I had forgotten about that for the longest time but I was reminded of it for some reason and it made me angry all over again.”
Holly and Bridget recalled that while they were staying at Hefner’s home, they had to have sex with him, and he kept meticulous records of how frequently they interacted.
“The black book kept track of a few different things,” Marquardt said.
“It kept track of when somebody collected their allowance. He would mark it off so you couldn’t ask for it twice,” she added.
“It also kept track of who slept with him and when.”
The women who resided in the Playboy Mansion, in Madison’s words, considered having sex with Hefner to be a “chore” that they tried to get it over with “as quickly as possible.”
And Hef appears to have taken all reasonable measures to make the encounter as unpleasant as he could.
