More bucks and bangs

A Rabbit has thanked Hugh Hefner for making people think he is a sex symbol, not just a boring herbivore.

Rabbit Roy Hobbs said: “Before the Playboy logo, people had a much more mundane image of rabbits as slightly manky-looking brown things that amble around eating vegetation.

“And to be honest, that is quite accurate. For example I’ve spent this morning squatting in a field nibbling at grass and occasionally looking startled.

“But thanks to Hugh, the world associates rabbits with high-class orgies, cocktails, celebrity breasts and driving around really fast in sports cars.

“While in reality I am very shy. It comes with being quite low in the food chain.”

He added: “Maybe one day I’ll have a rabbit version of the Playboy Mansion. Basically a massive sex burrow with hot and cold running carrots.”

The Daily Mash

Of course.

And, right on cue, fresh from the home of all things soft-focus, gorgeous and exotic - Soft Tempo Lounge - we have a snippet of one of the most notorious (and eternally-remembered) "soft-porn" films ever made, Emmanuelle (starring the late, great Sylvia Krystel). With some smooth music, naturally:

Mr Hefner would have approved.

  1. Hugh Hefner is not the usual go to hero for a gay man, but I gotta say I was sad to hear of The Hef's passing. He lived unapologetically if not sometimes controversially, and what gay man hasn't wanted to live unapologetically in his sexual truth especially those of us born into a different less accepting generation than perhaps current society (sought of) allows. Yes his vision of the sexual revolution became more reactionary with time and feminism but you can't take away the fact that he led the charge when it came to shift in modern sexual morays to wards a more accepting and open conversation about the world of consenting adults.
    Vale Hugh Hefner! 🐇

    1. Indeed. From his obituary on the BBC: In 1955 Hefner published a short story by the writer Charles Beaumont, about straight men facing persecution in a world where homosexuals were the majority.

      In response to a flood of angry letters, Hefner replied: "If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society then the reverse is wrong too."

      In later years he would become an advocate for same-sex marriage describing it as "a fight for all our rights".
