Crystal Hefner, writing in her new memoir, Only Say Good Things, also revealed that having group sex with at least five other girls was a “relief” for her as she would not have to be intimate with her husband alone.

“After the twins [Kristina and Karissa Shannon] were gone, it became my job to help find girls to come up to the bedroom at parties at the mansion, or on an increasingly rare night out,” she wrote, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

“It was a big part of the reason we still went out at all: for Hef to find fresh girls.”

In addition, the 37-year-old blond bombshell revealed she is ready to change her last name back to Harris, noting it was not her decision to change it in the first place.

“Shortly after we got married, his secretary had it all changed to Hefner,” she told the Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel podcast. “He wanted me to be Hefner right away.”

Hefner explained how they chose which women would fuel her husband’s sex fantasies.

“Sometimes Hef would point someone out,” she wrote. “Other times, I picked. He liked to have at least five girls, and I knew what he liked. It was actually a relief to have other women up in the bedroom with me, to not have to be sexual with him all alone. If these other girls were doing it, then I didn’t have to.”

The couple married in 2012 when she was 26, and he was 86 and were together until his death five years later.

While recruiting for the wild gatherings, Hefner made sure the women knew she was not going to be replaced.

“Sometimes they would try to stick around, hanging on Hef and sucking up to him. There seemed to be an endless stream of women desperate to get into the mansion; it never slowed down.

“And it solidified the feeling even more that I couldn’t possibly walk away. The more other people wanted what I had, the tighter I clung to it. When somebody stuck around for any length of time, I’d try to find out what they wanted. Girlfriend? Playmate? What?

“It got to the point where I’d ask them, point blank. Surprised, they’d answer, ‘Uh, Playmate,’ said one very young-looking girl named Talia.”

She also said having other women in the same bedroom was not a sexual turn-on.

“Here I was in the Playboy Mansion, in Hugh Hefner’s bed with Hugh Hefner inside me, beautiful naked women surrounding me, and there was nothing sexy about it.

“This wasn’t about making love. It was about power and control and leverage. It was a performance. I was auditioning for a part. I thought it was about my power.”
