How did Hugh Hefner impact society?

He sells . He had a huge impact on society because of what he does for a living. If you ever heard the term sells, its 100% true. sells in everything. That is why girls are plastered half nude all over magazine covers in the grocery stores. To make money in the entertainment industry you got to show some skin. A lot of women are against the concept that sells. They feel its demeaning and degrading to women. The industry promotes both men and women so it really goes both ways.
