Hugh Hefner, the founder of the magazine Playboy, is no more. He bid farewell to his worldly life on September 27 of this year at the ripe age of 91. His life and death have created several ripples in the modern lifestyle. He is no more. But the legacy he has left to the world has a lot of repercussions. Can we say that it was he who opened the gates of "free sex"? Can he repeal the negative results that have been created through the magazine he founded?
Why do I write this?
I am not criticizing the sex revolution started
by founding the magazine Playboy or lamenting the sad end of Hefner. If you look at the fruits of this revolution initiated by Hefner with a morally neutral outlook, you can see how far it has influenced the modern world, especially the young men and women. It has become the leading cause of several health problems of both mind and body. The culture pioneered by Hefner has led to the global culture of sexting, unhealthy usage of the internet, etc.A new era of freedom!
According to Huffington Post, the supporters of Hefner state that he dismantled most of the Puritanical attitudes toward sex and contributed to the sexual liberation of both men and women. He arose as a sort of feminist icon and through his magazine Playboy he fought for
freedom of sex. The new culture evolved through Playboy helped legitimize sexual titillation in a "buttoned-up world".An unhealthy addiction
In the modern world free sex is playing a vital role. It is commercialized in all possible ways and the saying "sex sales" is proving that it has a pivotal role in deciding everything. No doubt, it has become an addiction for which one is fighting hard to come out. The images, whatever may be the source of a display, can never satisfy anyone. The addiction occupies the mind and makes a person insane and unhealthy. It leads people to unhealthy relationships and disasters.
A time to think!
Hefner is no more, but the trend he initiated is still moving on with worse consequences. The world can see today how the liberal views that championed the liberal causes of Hefner have made the human body, especially that of a woman, a mere commodity of luxury! Every human being has a duty to make humanity a better one in every possible way. Let us think about the possibilities of making life better and this earth a real Paradise.
