Holly Madison has revealed why one element of her relationship with Hugh Hefner wasn't the 'horror story' many expect.

Hefner and Madison dated from 2001 to 2008, with Madison starring as his 'number one girlfriend' on reality TV show The Girls Next Door.

Since the Playboy publisher passed away at the age of 91 in 2017, many Playmates have since come forward to share stories from inside the infamous mansion.

Madison has been open about the difficulties of living life in the 'fast lane' alongside why the mansion felt like a 'cult'.

However, alongside talking about how 'disgusting' certain elements of her relationship with Hefner were, including a sex act she 'hated' doing with him, she's also since combated a certain negative stereotype to do with Hefner and, in particular, his age.

Speaking on the In Your Dreams Podcast with Owen Thiele, Madison opened up about her sex life with Hefner.

Despite the 50-year age gap between the pair, she noted how 'normal' the sex was.

She also addressed certain negative stereotypes which she's faced as a result of having sex with an older man.

Madison continued: "I think everybody has this real horror story of how gross an old man's body must be.

"I feel like there was a time when I couldn't post anything without some dumba** in the comments like, 'Oh, old balls', or something like that and look, maybe some people's balls do get old and nasty, but I've never seen such a thing."

Ultimately, if it was just Madison and Hefner in a room together, she said their sex life 'was a lot more normal than you would think' however, there was one act she found 'disgusting'.

With Hefner having multiple other girlfriends at the same time - including Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson - Madison opened up about hating when 'everybody else' was 'in the room' with her and the publisher, too.

"Everybody else in the room, no. That was disgusting. I hated it. I made it very known I hated it," she added.

However, when the pair were alone? Well, Madison noted it was 'a very different story'.

Although that hasn't stopped her from describing having sex with Hefner as having been 'gross' and a 'chore', previously saying everyone ultimately wanted to 'make it go by as quickly as possible'.
