Hefner Tell-All Book
I just read a little bit about the new book about Hugh Hefner, which is a book all about the Playboy mogul’s sexcapades.
That’s right, his sexcapades. Excuse me while I throw up a little in my mouth.
Onwards. It’s mentioned that it is a “shocking” tell-all, and that the author was given access to Hefner’s personal documents in order to pen the book. The word I’m confused about here is “shocking”. What can possibly be “shocking” about the founder of Playboy magazine. Having sex with a man? Nope, not shocking… threesomes? No… pretty normal and not-quirky if you ask me. Sex has been the new adventure for awhile now. I really do not think that anything could shock me about Hugh Hefner’s sex life. Obviously the man has done a lot and has hidden salami many ways and with many people, maybe all at once.
If you want to write a shocking Hefner novel, sex shouldn’t be the angle. If you want a typical Hefner, story however, then you’re going the right route.
