I grew up in sex mansion which rivalled Playboy – my dad made his harem of ‘Pets’ film orgies & I romped with them at 15 | The Sun

HE was the porn king who challenged Hugh Hefner’s crown and became one of the world’s richest men, with a £250million fortune and the most opulent mansion in New York.
But Bob Guccione – whose Penthouse magazine once outsold rival Playboy – was penniless and estranged from most of his five children when he died in 2010, aged 79.
Now a new documentary, The Secrets of Penthouse, looks into the rise of fall of the entrepreneur.
It lays bare the shocking treatment of the young models he recruited – known as Pets – who were cajoled into orgies, fed contraceptive pills to “make their breasts bigger” and forced to watch bestiality videos before romping with the magnate.
Guccione’s children Nina and Nick, by British mum Muriel Hudson, reveal he was a distant dad, more interested in bedding models than being with his kids, and that they were exposed to sex from a young age.
“Our family revolved around sex, which is kind of creepy,” says Nina, 63.

For Nick, the plush Penthouse mansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side became a playground for his teenage hormones and he slept with Pets from age 15.
"The Pets, I loved them all,” he says. ”It was like the fourth of July going off in my head.
"We weren’t allowed to ‘fraternise’ with the Pets but when I was 15, I had the opportunity to have my first girlfriend and she was a Penthouse Pet. She was 23.
“Most 15-year-olds could only fantasise about having sex with one of them, I was having sex with ALL of them. I was horny, but I was a gentleman."
