I’ve Never Thought Of Playboy, Quite Frankly,

We Have A Tremendous Opportunity To Try To Start Solving Some Of Our Overwhelming Problems With Population Related Environment, Related To The Hatred That Exists Between Countries And Religions, So We Have A Tremendous Opportunity, But The Dangers Are Very Clearly There.

I Think That From The Very Beginning It Wasn't Simply, What Made Playboy So Popular Was Not Simply The Naked Ladies, What Made The Magazine So Popular Was, There Was A Point Of View In The Magazine, That You Couldn't Run Nude Pictures Without Some Kind Of Rational That They Were Art.

I Think Our Society Is Fragmented. Messages Regarding Human Sexuality Have Always Been Mixed In America. We Are A Schizophrenic Nation. We Were Founded Initially By Puritans, Who Escaped Repression Only To Establish Their Own. Then The Founding Fathers Gave Us The Constitution To Separate Church And State. But The One Thing That Got Left Out Of All Those Laws Was Human Sexuality.

I Was Raised In A Truly Typical Midwestern Home With A Lot Of Repression. My Life, And The Creation Of Playboy, Were A Response To That Repression.

Being Attacked By Right-wing Christians Did Not Bother Me. Being Attacked By Liberal Feminists Did.
