Hugh Hefner - The Ten Most Important People in Sex

If nothing else, you’d have to say that Hugh Hefner is humble, even if for no other reason than placing himself third on his own list. Hef gave himself the 3rd spot in the top ten most important people in sex list, which seems fitting given the names on the number 1 and 2 spots.

Even without the Playboy empire, if Hugh Hefner was still pulling down the caliber of girls that he’s getting now, he definitely deserves his spot as one of the ten most important people in sex.

Alex Comfort - The Joy of Sex

As author of the book, “The Joy of Sex”, Alex Comfort (and his book) played a crucial role in the sexual revolution – a revolution that would change the attitude towards sex in the Western world.

For this reason alone, Alex Comfort surely deserves his place in the top ten most important people in sex. The New York Times called Alex Comfort’s book, “The coffee-table Kama Sutra of the baby-boom generation.”

The Ten Most Important People in Sex - Marilyn Monroe

What can you say about the quintessential sex symbol of all time besides the fact that she really deserves to be higher up on Playboy’s top ten most important people in sex list.

In addition, the fact that Marilyn Monroe has garnered so much attention before and after her untimely death definitely solidifies her as one of the ten most important people in sex.

The Ten Most Important People in Sex - # 6 Monica Lewinsky

Maybe Bill Clinton would be better suited for the # 6 spot on Playboy’s Top Ten Most Important People in Sex, but there is no doubt that the entire scandal brought sex to the forefront of mainstream media like never before.

The Ten Most Important People in Sex - # 7 The Rolling Stones

The entire band? Yeah, it seems that Playboy considers the Rolling Stones to be number 7 on the ten most important people in sex list.

And even though most people can’t name the entire band, anyone could argue that Mick Jagger is certainly a big part of the band landing such a high spot on the list.

Timothy Berners-Lee

No, it wasn’t Al Gore, it was actually Timothy Berners-Lee that was credited with inventing the World Wide Web. The MIT professor made the first proposal for the World Wide Web in 1989.

One could argue that Timothy Berners-Lee, even with his foresight, could never have foreseen that the Internet would become a hub for sex and pornography. However, even for stumbling upon such a huge sexual medium, Timothy Berners-Lee definitely deserves to hold a spot in the top 10 Most Important People in Sex.

Ten Most Important People in Sex - # 9 Peter Dunn and Albert Wood

Peter Dunn and Albert Wood take the number 9 spot in the Ten Most Important People in Sex by Playboy magazine more for what they created than who they are.

That’s because Peter Dunn and Albert Wood are the creators of Viagra – God’s gift to men and women everywhere.
