 <\/p>\n

Crystal Hefner, the widow of the late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, has opened up about what really down behind closed doors concerning their sex life.<\/p>\n

Crystal, now 38, was just 21-years-old when she met Hugh – who was 60 years her senior at the time – in 2008.<\/p>\n

She first met Hugh, who died aged 91 back in 2017, at a Halloween party which was taking place at the infamous\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0Playboy mansion after being called upstairs for a group\u00a0sex<\/a>\u00a0session with him – an event which Crystal says was a ‘well-oiled and well-practiced sequence of events’.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE in an interview\u00a0published<\/a>\u00a0last January, the\u00a0Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself<\/em>\u00a0author explained that such activities ‘went the same exact way every time’.<\/p>\n

She wrote: “Picking some girls from the party and bringing them up. Changing into the uniform for the job: silk pyjamas. The dimming of the lights. The music. The porn. Passing the pot. And then the sex.”<\/p>\n

Even that very first night 17 years ago, Crystal said that the sex was ‘odd and robotic’ with no kissing, romance or intimacy in that bedroom, either on that occasion or any following evening over the course of nearly nine years of being one of Hugh’s famous girlfriends before eventually becoming his wife in 2012.<\/p>\n

“Like Hef was just going through the motions of something that had once been fun and sexy,” she recalled. “Or maybe it was never fun and sexy.”<\/p>\n

Crystal went on to wonder whether or not being surrounded by so many ‘yes people’ affected Hugh’s ability to forge real intimate connections: “I think when you have so much money and power and so many ‘yes people’ around you, you just stick with your own narrative in your mind.<\/p>\n

“And then everyone else just goes along with it.”<\/p>\n

Crystal, who was the third wife of Hugh, went on to reveal that her husband never once looked at her when they had sex, and instead only stared in a bored manner upward at the strategically placed mirror overhead.<\/p>\n

“There was nothing sexy about it,” she wrote. “It was about power and control and leverage. It was a performance. I was auditioning for a part.”<\/p>\n

In her book, she carried on: “[Hugh] seemed less sex-savvy than some of the teenage boys I\u2019d been with years ago.<\/p>\n

“It was clear to me Hef had never taken a moment in his entire life to figure out how to please someone else.”<\/p>\n

Crystal also touched upon his family dynamic, saying: “He would always tell me there wasn\u2019t much love in his house growing up. Not between his parents or his parents toward him. So I don\u2019t think he fully got it in terms of being in a relationship or being a father.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
