Hefner changed the world with his radical views about sex and the female body, and ushered in a sexual revolution that has largely shaped sexual attitudes in today’s society. Hefner turned what was once taboo into one of the most recognizable brands in the world and that is no small feat.
RIP to Hugh Hefner, a trail blazer on many levels.
