Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, 83, almost died once while having a ball in bed with four of his girlfriends.

The octogenarian, who is presently dating Crystal Harris and twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, said he choked on a sex toy during the episode, reports contactmusic.com.

“What is the closest I’ve come to death? There was a moment when I was having sex with four playmates and I almost swallowed a ball,” he said.


Hefner said he enjoys spending nearly all his time in bed: “My most treasured possession is my rotating round bed. I don’t have dinner parties – I eat my dinner in bed. I relax with my girls in bed, just watching a movie and having a good time. If I had to dress up in fancy dress, I’d wear my pyjamas.”
