Former Playboy Bunny Holly Madison reveals bizarre sex item Hugh Hefner used in shocking bedroom admission
Despite passing away at the grand age of 91 back in 2017, it's clear the fascination surrounding Hugh Hefner and his Playboy empire doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon, with many still extremely curious to find out what really went down in his notorious mansion during all those years.
As we know, Hefner made a name for himself as the founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine before expanding his business into a multi-million dollar industry.
He became the subject of a number of sexual assault allegations and, throughout the course of his many scandals, many women who resided at the mansion alongside him have come forward to open up about their experiences.
And that's been especially true for the likes of Holly Madison, who was in a relationship with Hefner from 2001 to 2008.

Over the years, the former Playboy model has been very candid about her sex life with Hefner, sharing details about his 'hellish' sex routine, the 'gross reality' of their domestic life and even a 'common misconception' about the magazine mogul.
She also once revealed the bizarre sex item Hefner used in a shocking bedroom admission last year alongside fellow former Bunny, Bridget Marquardt, on their Girls Next Level podcast.
Madison and Marquardt, who was also one of Hefner's many girlfriends, looked back on their time at the mansion and recalled their reactions to discovering a dedicated 'sex chair'.
Referencing what is dubbed the 'Cover Girl Murder' - when Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten was shot dead by her estranged husband - Madison described seeing an odd piece of custom-made furniture at the mansion: "The sex chair was this weird chair somebody made in the Seventies. Dorothy Stratten’s husband was trying to get it patented, or he was in a business that made them or something.
"There was one at the mansion in the bath house area …there was no gym back in the Seventies, but there used to be a sex chair there. They talk about it in Secrets of Playboy about how some people would like to use it at parties – really gruesome detail is that in the Dorothy Stratton murder that was part of the whole thing…"
And, on the subject of weird sex stuff, Madison told BuzzFeed News a decade back in 2015 that the prolific sex parties always took place on the same two days of the week.
"It was always Wednesdays and Fridays after the club. It was always exactly the same because that's just how he likes to live his life," she said.
According to Madison, all of Hef's girlfriends were required to take part, as she explained: "They knew it was kind of a quote-unquote requirement for living there, and expected.
"And it had kind of a chore vibe, I felt."
