Hugh Hefner on how many ladies he’s boffed: ‘Over 1000, I’m sure.’

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has been a renowned Cryptkeeper-about-town for decades. But how many women has he given the ol’ noodle to? More (or less?) than you might think.


Hefner revealed his approximation of his conquests in an interview with Esquire.

“How could I possibly know?” Hefner told the magazine. “Over a thousand, I’m sure. There were chunks of my life when I was married, and when I was married I never cheated. But I made up for it when I wasn’t married. You have to keep your hand in.”

Literally keep your hand in? Let’s get some tips here, Hef. Though I probably already have a good idea of what they would be. I’m guessing most involve “make a lot of money” and “take a lot of boner pills.”

Hefner married 26-year-old Playboy model Crystal Harris on New Year’s Eve of this year. She had previously left him at the altar before they reconciled.
