As Playboy celebrates it’s 55th anniversary this year, the company is struggling like many other media companies. Hugh Hefner, however, is doing just fine. He recently answered some questions in Time.

Your industry is often accused of being damaging to women, yet you assert that you are an active feminist. Could you clarify this position?

My industry is magazine publishing. Pornography? That isn’t my industry. If you call sexual images pornography, then they are negative. If you call those same images erotic, they are positive. I’m not an active feminist. I’m an active humanist. I separated ways from feminism when it became antisexual. I believe embracing sexuality is part of what it means to be free.
