"James R. Petersen is a veteran of forty years at Playboy magazine. Hired to be the Playboy Advisor in 1973, for two decades he answered - all reasonable questions—from fashion, food and drink, stereo, sports cars to dating dilemmas, taste and etiquette. He was, according to USA Today, “the number One source of sex advice in America.” That was his day job.
An award-winning freelancer, he has written about adventure travel, motorcycling, windsurfing, kayaking, and skiing (he co-authored Playboy’s Guide to Ultimate Skiing)."
Additionally, Petersen authored the infamous book "The Century of Sex." The book took 3 years to write and was a true labor of love for Petersen & Hugh Hefner, whom acted as the chief editor for the book itself.
"The book presents a sweeping history that argues that the "sexual revolution" of the sixties and seventies was part of a larger social evolution. This evolution began generations before the advent of penicillin, Playboy, or the pill -- and produced seismic cultural shifts that have changed the way Americans live forever."

Corinna & I loved having the opportunity to sit down with Petersen and conduct the interview. What we would learn from Petersen and his career at Playboy and most importantly working closely with Hugh M. Hefner was incredibly profound.
Enjoy the show as we travel back in time to the early years of PLAYBOY and it's dynamic and ever evolving historical moments in time.
We are so grateful for your support! We certainly couldn't do this without YOU!
