My experience with it was in two parts; as my first sense of sexuality in my tweens in the early 80's, and then a period in the mid-90's where I recall reading some notably in-depth (and career defining) interviews - the Salman Rushdie one comes to mind. I was working at the local B&N at that point so I could grab the free non-returns issues at the end of the month, at which point I had definitely moved on from the pictorials - though I still looked.

That dichotomy - the 'women as objects' adolescent attitude to sex and roving and more than occasionally thoughtful and deep content - pretty much sums up the magazine and the man who ran it.

The girls on the podcast just mentioned how Hef forbade men from coming
into the mansion. His butler was allowed but that was about it. Sometimes
he’d give permission for a playmate’s husband to come visit but very rarely.

Can you imagine being so insecure you have to be the only male allowed to
be on the premises with dozens of women?
