Hugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriend Holly Madison shares surprising fact about sex life with the late mogul
Despite people’s comments, Holly Madison argues she ‘never’ saw this ‘one thing’ which so many have spoken about…
Holly Madison has revealed why one element of her relationship with Hugh Hefner wasn’t the ‘horror story’ many expect.
Hefner and Madison dated from 2001 to 2008, with Madison starring as his ‘number one girlfriend’ on reality TV show The Girls Next Door.
Since the Playboy publisher passed away at the age of 91 in 2017, many Playmates have since come forward to share stories from inside the infamous mansion.
Madison has been open about the difficulties of living life in the ‘fast lane’ alongside why the mansion felt like a ‘cult’.
However, alongside talking about how ‘disgusting’ certain elements of her relationship with Hefner were, including a sex act she ‘hated’ doing with him, she’s also since combated a certain negative stereotype to do with Hefner and, in particular, his age.
Speaking on the In Your Dreams Podcast with Owen Thiele, Madison opened up about her sex life with Hefner.
Despite the 50-year age gap between the pair, she noted how ‘normal’ the sex was.
She also addressed certain negative stereotypes which she’s faced as a result of having sex with an older man.
Madison continued: “I think everybody has this real horror story of how gross an old man’s body must be.
“I feel like there was a time when I couldn’t post anything without some dumba** in the comments like, ‘Oh, old balls’, or something like that and look, maybe some people’s balls do get old and nasty, but I’ve never seen such a thing.”
Ultimately, if it was just Madison and Hefner in a room together, she said their sex life ‘was a lot more normal than you would think’ however, there was one act she found ‘disgusting’.

With Hefner having multiple other girlfriends at the same time – including Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson – Madison opened up about hating when ‘everybody else’ was ‘in the room’ with her and the publisher, too.
“Everybody else in the room, no. That was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it,” she added.
However, when the pair were alone? Well, Madison noted it was ‘a very different story’.
Although that hasn’t stopped her from describing having sex with Hefner as having been ‘gross’ and a ‘chore’, previously saying everyone ultimately wanted to ‘make it go by as quickly as possible’.
Former Playboy playmate Kendra Wilkinson has spoken out about parties she went to hosted by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Rapper and record producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested on September 16 and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.
Since the 54-year-old’s arrest – the rapper having been denied bail twice – clips have resurfaced online of Combs and people who have interacted with him speaking about his infamous parties.

Combs was arrested around six months after his homes were raided by authorities.
The indictment accuses the rapper of organizing parties – nicknamed ‘Freak Offs’ – where he’d allegedly force sex-trafficking victims to engage in group sex acts, ‘distribut[ing] a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant’.
The indictment continues: “After Freak Offs, Combs and the victims typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use.”
US attorney Damian Williams said ‘hotel rooms’ were ‘booked’ and ‘stocked’ with ‘supplies, including drugs, baby oil, personal lubricant, extra linens and lighting,’ as quoted by Mail Online.
And items including 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant were found at Combs’ residence.
And former Playboy playmate Kendra Wilkinson has since spoken out about going to ‘one or two’ parties with Combs there.

Wilkinson was just 18 years old when she arrived at the Playboy Mansion, moving in and going on to date Hugh Hefner – 60 years her senior.
In an interview with KIIS FM host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, Wilkinson was asked about ‘going to P Diddy’s parties back in the day’.
She replied: “I remember just going to like one or two, but again, like I had a great time in my youth.
“Like, I didn’t really see anything. Like I never saw anything really bad happening around me. Sex is sex, in my opinion.”
When asked if she saw anything abnormal to that of a typical ‘Hollywood party,’ Wilkinson responded: “Look, you’re going to the Playboy Mansion. You know, there’s girls topless in the grotto. Don’t we already know that. […] [The Mansion] was pretty nasty. You know, there was dog poop everywhere and Hef [Hefner] would wobble by and just pick it up with his bare hands.”
Wilkinson has previously spoken out about how Playboy ‘really messed [her] whole life up’.
She ultimately resolved about her experiences with Diddy: “I’m not saying that something bad didn’t happen. I’m saying that, you know, nothing bad ever happened to me.”
Holly Madison has shared an insight into what it was really like living in the infamous Playboy mansion and some of the ‘weird’ things she saw.
Former Playboy Bunny and ex of editor Hugh Hefner, Madison, lived and breathed the reality of the Playboy mansion and has since spoken out about not just her relationship with Hefner being ‘a false paradise’, but what it was like living inside the mansion too.
Madison dated Hefner for seven years between 2001 and 2008, and during that time, lived in the mansion where the so-called bunnies were paid on a weekly basis, ‘weird’ trays were dotted around rooms and the whole experience felt like a ‘cult’.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror, ahead of the release of the 2022 documentary Secrets of a Playboy, Madison lifted the lid on life inside the mansion, explaining the bunnies had a curfew of 9pm – and she didn’t stop there.
Madison explained not only was there a curfew but bunnies weren’t allowed to leave for long periods of time.
She also alleged so-called bunnies were paid on a weekly basis – a sum totaling a hefty $1,000.
However, she explained living in the mansion wasn’t all just wad fulls of cash but came with some strict rules too.
She continued: “The reason I think the mansion was very cult-like, looking back on it, is because we were all kind of gaslit and expected to think of Hef as, like, this really good guy.
“You started to feel like, ‘Oh, he’s not what they say in the media — he’s just a nice man’. Another thing that reminds me of a cult is how it was so easy to get isolated from the outside world there.
“He said it made him jealous, and he would appreciate it if I quit my job – so, instead, we were given $1,000 a week as an allowance. You had a 9 o’clock curfew, you were encouraged to not have friends over. You weren’t really allowed to leave unless it was, like, a family holiday.”

Madison also discussed her ‘traumatic’ first night with Hefner, talking about how he was ‘literally pushed on top’ of her and lashed out at her because she cut her hair too short for his liking.
In an interview last year, she described to People seeing ‘weird’ ‘trays everywhere’ with ‘any kind of makeshift lube’ on them, lying in the bathroom, by the tennis courts and pool.
Details of life inside the mansion have emerged since Hefner’s death in 2017 aged 91, including rumours about Hollywood stars taking part in ‘scandalous nights’ and sex parties where ‘carloads of women’ were brought to the Playboy Mansion.
There have also been allegations of drug use and sexual abuse at the mansion, with Insider reporting that a former employee of Hefner’s had described the rampant drug use as a ‘necessary evil’, with Quaaludes referred to as ‘leg-spreaders’.
The Playboy Mansion itself was bought from Hefner for $100 million a year before he died, though he continued to live in it until his death.
Former Playboy twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon have opened up about the ‘trauma’ they endured after living in Hugh Hefner’s infamous mansion.
Ever since Hefner died in 2017 aged 91, many women have spoken about their time with the magazine publisher and life in the Playboy Mansion.
His ex-girlfriend, Holly Madison, claimed that living in the mansion was like a ‘cult’ while Kendra Wilkinson revealed her relationship with the Playboy founder left her with ‘a little bit of a sex problem’.
Karissa and Kristina Shannon rose to fame during the last two seasons of Girls Next Door, which focused on Hefner’s life with his three girlfriends, Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson.
Now 35, Karissa and Kristina were just 19 when they moved into the Playboy mansion.
They sat down with People magazine to discuss their time in the Hollywood home.

Karissa said: “It was such a culture shock for us. We literally … We didn’t grow up with a young mother, so we didn’t know about hair and makeup. We didn’t know much about fashion or style. And we’re a lot younger than Bridget, Kendra and Holly – we’re teenagers.”
Kristina added: “We were literally just teenagers. We were all natural. We didn’t have fake teeth. We didn’t have fake boobs like the other girls or fake hair. We just walked around with natural faces over tan because we were always in the sun in Florida.
“We got a lot of jealousy from the other Playmates because we were twins. We were the first twins to each get our own months, which made Playboy history. We were the youngest Playmates and the youngest girlfriends.”
Kristina noted that they soon realized ‘what they show on TV and on the show was a 100 percent different from what was going on behind the scenes’.
Karissa also spoke about the aftermath of Playboy after being in and out of the mansion over a period of three years, People notes.
“We always say Playboy will always be a part of our lives. We were Playboy fans and we still are Playboy fans. Even though it turned out to be very traumatic for us, there were also a lot of high points,” she went on.

Kristina chimed in: “It’s even in the way we were born. We know we were born three months premature … When we were born, we actually weren’t breathing. Our lungs weren’t fully developed.”
“We’ve had to fight for our lives, our whole lives. We came from a lot of trauma. We’re trauma bonded,” Karissa admitted.
Amid adjusting back to normal life, the twins decided it would be best to leave Los Angeles to get that healthy balance.
“Kristina and I decided to move. We didn’t know where to go, so we decided to go back to where we were born and leave LA,” Karissa added.
“We sold the beauty salon we owned at the time, and said, ‘Let’s get the hell out of here and live a simple life. Let’s just start healing’.”
