Surely you’re aware that Barbi Benton agreed to the date but do you know why? “One of the main reasons I went is because I absolutely adored Shel Silverstein, and he came too,” she admitted. “Then Hef asked me out again and again, and before I knew it I was holding his hand all the time. I was also dating someone from UCLA and also I had another suitor, Jimmy Caan. So it was between my college boyfriend, Jimmy Caan and Hef. And Hef won. Within a few months, we were exclusive.”

“He was very romantic,” Benton admitted. “He was one of the most romantic men I’ve ever met. He was always rubbing my neck, holding my hand, squeezing me and making me feel loved. He was also affectionate with other girls … and he loved kissing. I didn’t mind, because I was very secure in our relationship.” Benton went on to say that they had a whirlwind romance that “was a totally exciting time”. I mean, wouldn’t yours be if it revolved around A-list celebrities?
