Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that this reality series openly celebrates sexual fantasy and sexual pleasure as positive things, which may be considered inappropriate by some viewers. That said, no explicit sexual behavior is seen on camera, and most nudity is blurred (although there are moments of partial nudity when women are in various stages of undress or sporting very revealing clothing). The show's discussions of nudity and sexual fantasy aren't appropriate for children, and parents may want to exercise caution even for older teens.
Sexual
Content
Partial nudity. Contains sexual innuendo (which may go over the head of young viewers) as well as specific references to sexual behavior. Some making out but no simulated sex acts. References to genitalia, sex toys, and other strong sexual subject matter. Tons of very skimpy outfits.
Violence
Not applicable
Language
Mostly mild: "damn," "crap," etc. Stronger curse words are bleeped out.
Social
Behavior
People are respected (for the most part), and violence and substance abuse aren't tolerated. But sexual freedom and sexual pleasure (of men, primarily) are viewed as positive things. Women are sexually objectified and fulfill the stereotype of the dumb blonde.
Consumerism
The Playboy logo, magazine, etc. are all clearly displayed. Hefner's favorite films are often highlighted.
Drugs / Tobacco /
Alcohol
Adult consumption of alcohol (beer, wine, hard liquor) is frequent. Adult use of tobacco products is sometimes noticeable, including pipe and cigar smoking.
