But Dr Saginor was the right love of Hefner’s life and was even at his bedside when he died at his Holmby Hills mansion.
That is, at least, according to Dr Saginor’s have daughter Jennifer and also Hefner’s ex-girlfriend Sondra Theodore, who made the revelations in new A&E documentary series Secrets of Playboy.
Jennifer - who lived at the Playboy mansion while growing up - had a ringside seat to the adore affair between her dad and the magazine mogul.
The 51-year-old said: "My father, Mark Saginor, was Hugh Hefner’s finest friend and medic for about 40 years. Their friendship was like, next level.

Hugh Hefner's one authentic love amid his marriages and relationships was his male personal physician, Dr. Mark Saginor, the latter's daughter has claimed.
The late Playboy founder's love being was placed under the proverbial microscope during Monday night's installment of A&E docuseries Secrets of Playboy, which examines the less savory side of the media empire's history.

"It's my personal conviction that the adore of Hef's existence was my father," she said. "Over the years, my father really gave up his family life, his perform, to be with him. I don't know many men who would just basically give up their own being and then shift into some other man's house."

Playboy‘s Hugh Hefner, role model for millions of heterosexual men who aspired to his Casanova lifestyle, loved a man more than any of his Playmate girlfriends. An ex-girlfriend and the daughter of his gay lover both confirmed the relationship in a new A&E documentary series.
Hugh Hefner founded Playboy Magazine in 1953. He became a wealthy gentleman from the magazine and related businesses, living what he described as a bon vivante lifestyle. He lived at the Playboy Mansion, surrounded by buxom, blonde Playmates.
In old age, he notoriously dated as many as seven young women at a time.
However, Hefner also enjoyed a long-term gay love affair. The daughter of Dr Mark Saginor said the relationship lasted more than four decades.
“All the girls would sort of come and move over the years, but they remained constants.”
An opportunity to life open sexuality
“They had a physical relationship. In the context of these unlike orgies, the orgies sort of started as something that was an opportunity for people to sort of experience their uncover sexuality.

I am a feminist, and I want to accept that I hear of all arguments about Hugh Hefner’s legacy being a negative one, largely because Playboy so furthered a culture in which the objectification of women became celebrated. I understand this critique. But it is also reductive.
Adam Gopnik, in the New Yorker, points out that what Hefner actually commoditized was “the male gaze.” This may seem like semantic quibbling, but it is not. It is an vital distinction, and it had an important result that I haven’t seen addressed in many of the assessments of what Hefner meant to America.
In the 1950s, millions of queer men lived in the closet, ashamed of their attraction to other men. When Hugh Hefner challenged the culture of sexual repression in which virtually everybody was ashamed of their sex drive, the lifting of this shame had enormous positive collateral effects on “homosexuals” — the sterile term used at the time.
Men attracted to men objectify other men, not because they are gay, but because they are men. This is how male sexuality works. We immediately respond to visual stimuli. The emotions often follow, but are not required to fuel our rich fantasy life. As any
