Hugh Hefner Sordid Legacy – What You Didn’t Know (VIDEO)
What was Hugh Hefner's real legacy?
Hefner spent his life spreading the ideas of Dr. Alfred Kinsey, whose 1940s and 1950s reports claimed humans are sexual from birth and that every sexual behavior is normal. Dr. Judith Reisman documented that Kinsey used pedophiles to gather data on children, including Nazi officer Fritz von Balluseck, who raped hundreds. Hefner called himself Kinsey's pamphleteer, built Playboy on that foundation, and helped fuel a porn industry now exceeding 97 billion dollars a year.
Most people know of Hefner as the founder of Playboy magazine and a driving force in legalizing pornography.
What they don’t know is that, as a virgin in college, Hefner swore his devotion to another man.
That man was Dr. Alfred Kinsey.
The Kinsey Reports – a set of books on sexual behavior released in the late 1940s and early 1950s – were the beginning of the end for sexual morality in our traditionally Judeo-Christian nation.

To Kinsey, all the sexual perversions anyone could imagine fell into the realm of normal, and (in a quantum leap of faulty logic) were therefore moral, behavior. He also claimed that humans were sexual at birth.
His methods of collecting data, however, were questionable at best.
Faulty Research
Dr. Judith Reisman is a world historian on the destruction of human sexuality who has fought the pornography industry for decades and even won a lawsuit against Playboy.
Dr. Reisman shared about her review of Dr. Kinsey’s research.
“I looked at the graphs he provided and I said, ‘Wait a minute, that is a two month old baby, how does he know a two month old baby did or did not have an orgasm?”
“He also employed bonafide pedophiles to do what they did to children for his so-called data,” Dr. Reisman revealed in an interview in the Conquer Series, a cinematic film series that is helping men break free from porn.
Dr. Kinsey’s research was also partially based on the collection of data and confessions of Nazi pedophile Dr. Fritz von Balluseck, who raped hundreds of children.
Kinsey’s project even involved a World War II Nazi officer, Dr. Fritz von Balluseck, who raped hundreds of children.

Society’s Moral Decay
Nevertheless, Kinsey’s work became the foundation for the sex educational structure and changes in sodomy and abortion laws, as well as the near-total sexual morality erosion in today’s world.

Kinsey’s goal was to change our belief about ourselves by making us believe that we are sexual at birth. When our beliefs change, our behaviors change.
As a virgin in college, Hefner heard Dr. Kinsey’s message and decided he would champion it.
“He said, ‘I will be Kinsey’s pamphleteer,'” recounted Dr. Reisman.
Hefner’s life’s work became to not only legalize pornography but distribute it on a massive scale.
Though he is now gone, his dark legacy continues.
Global porn revenue exceeds $97 billion per year, with $13 billion of that coming from the U.S.

What did the sex research behind the sexual revolution claim?
It claimed that humans are sexual from birth and that every sexual perversion anyone could imagine falls within the range of normal, and therefore moral, behavior. Released as a set of books in the late 1940s and early 1950s, that research became the foundation for modern sex education and for changes in sodomy and abortion laws. Change what people believe about themselves and their behavior follows.
Was that research reliable?
No. Dr. Judith Reisman, who has fought the pornography industry for decades and won a lawsuit against Playboy, reviewed the data herself: "I looked at the graphs he provided and I said, ‘Wait a minute, that is a two month old baby, how does he know a two month old baby did or did not have an orgasm?’" She also revealed, "He also employed bonafide pedophiles to do what they did to children for his so-called data."
How big is the porn industry today?
Global porn revenue now exceeds 97 billion dollars a year, with about 13 billion of that coming from the United States, and forty million adults regularly visit porn sites. Those numbers are the direct fruit of a philosophy that was marketed for decades as harmless freedom. The real cost is not paid in dollars, it is paid in marriages, children and souls.
Is porn really a problem inside the church?
Yes. Pornography use is the number one reason why men in the church seek counseling. These are men who love God, pray, and read their Bible, and who still cannot stop on their own. They are in the sexual battle of their lives and they are desperate for a way out, which is exactly why churches cannot afford to stay silent about it.
What is the Conquer Series?
The Conquer Series is a ten-week, Biblically based cinematic study that has become ground zero for the movement of men conquering porn. It lays out the battle plan for purity, and churches in more than 100 countries are running it in their men's small groups. It is designed to be worked through together, because no man breaks free from this on his own.
