A Taste of the Hef's Sordid Past

I recently finished reading Steve Watts' Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner's American Dream (Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2008).

The Hef, uh, gets off fairly lightly in the book. There's constant references to his desire to liberate Americans from sexual repression and pre-conceived gender roles.

But then, of course, we have stuff like this (p. 59):
One night after he and Millie watched a stag movie with Jamie and Eldon Sellers, he suggested that the four of them make love on the same bed, each husband to his own wife. They did so and, in Seller's words, "It was different and exciting." According to Millie, Hugh began to hint at switching partners, apparently suggesting it with the Selleres, although the swap never materialized. But it did happen with his brother, Keith, and his wife, Rae, one evening at the apartment. While Millie ultimately backed out of having sex with Keith, Hugh slept with his sister-in-law.
Firstly, sucked in Keef!

Second, ewww!
