You have always been told to date in your age bracket. However, Hugh Hefner has been breaking that rule for the last 30 plus years. And it works for him. But he may have crossed the line with his recent engagement to Crystal Harris.

Hefner, twice married and divorced, may have finally found the girl of his dreams. Harris, a psych major and total hottie, has been Hugh’s girlfriend since January 2009. They’re only different from conventional couples because of a 60-year age difference.

So what if he’s 84? Many would find that atrocious or just plain wrong. But don’t they deserve to live happily ever after?  I don’t see why not.

Hefner simply doesn’t want to waste his last chance — especially when he’s almost pushing daisies. No doubt he is some kind of freak or the luckiest man on Earth, depending on your point of view.

But he’s still human with simple instincts like the desire to attain what he doesn’t have. So naturally, he wants that special someone to love and to hold till death does he part.

Unfortunately, marriage has not been kind to Hefner in the past. His first wife cheated on him, and he divorced his second wife after living apart for over a decade.

They say “third time’s the charm,” but the future husband and wife need to lay down some ground rules.

First off, get out of the Playboy Mansion. It will be like leaving heaven, but it will be worth it. Not many men can resist a Playboy bunny, let alone living with a bunch of them. Pick out a nice place without any arousing distractions.That is setting yourself up for success.

Second, Hugh needs to up the dose of Viagra; at least during the honeymoon. Can an 84 year old keep up with a woman who is 60 years younger? With Hefner’s experience — possibly. But bringing some insurance never hurts.

So, in the New Year, Hefner will try again and hopefully for the last time. Best wishes to the happy couple, and may their marriage be as blissful as a thousand splendid orgasms.
