You Know, From My Point Of View,

Did You Know That I Almost Called The Magazine Stag Party And The Symbol Was Originally Going To Be A Stag? I Changed My Mind Just Before We Went To Press, Thank God. Somehow, It Wouldn't Have Been The Same. Can You Imagine A Chain Of Key Clubs Staffed By Beautiful Girls Wearing Antlers?

Life Is Too Short To Be Living Somebody Else's Dream.

I Was Raised In A Truly Typical Midwestern Home With A Lot Of Repression. My Life, And The Creation Of Playboy, Were A Response To That Repression.

If You Don't Encourage Healthy Sexual Expression In Public, You Get Unhealthy Sexual Expression In Private. If You Attempt To Suppress Sex In Books, Magazines, Movies And Even Everyday Conversation, You Aren't Helping To Make Sex More Private, Just More Hidden. You're Keeping Sex In The Dark. What We've Tried To Do Is Turn On The Lights.

Without Question, Love In Its Various Permutations Is What We Need More Of In This World. The Idea That The Concept Of Marriage Will Be Sullied By Same-sex Marriage Is Ridiculous. Heterosexuals Haven't Been Doing That Well At It On Their Own.
