Hefner and Affection

Hugh Hefner, founder of the Playboy empire, when asked about his upbringing:

"I was raised in a setting in which [sex] was for procreation only and the rest was sin...Our family was Prohibitionist, Puritan in a very real sense... Never hugged. Oh, no. There was absolutely no hugging or kissing in my family. There was a point in time when my mother, later in life, apologized to me for not being able to show affection. That was, of course, the way I'd been raised. I said to her, 'Mom, you couldn't have done it any better. And because of the things you weren't able to do, it set me on a course that changed my life and the world.' "
