LOS ANGELES | Wed Jul 27, 2011 6:07pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Playboy founder Hugh Hefner says his former fiance is lying about their sex life, or lack of it.

Crystal Harris, 25, who ditched Hefner, 85, five days before their June wedding, told radio show host Howard Stern this week that sex with the Playboy magazine mogul "lasted like two seconds" and that she had never seen him naked.

"Crystal lied about our relationship on Howard Stern but I don't know why," Hefner said in a Twitter message on Tuesday. The remark, which was re-tweeted by some fans, has since been removed from his account.

"Crystal convinced me that she adored me. That was the first lie," Hefner said in response to a tweet from a fan. And he told another: "I feel sorry for Crystal. She seems lost."

Harris also claimed that she and Hefner only had sex once in their two-year relationship, that she had never seen him naked and that Hefner was more into "couch cuddling and movie nights" than sex.

Harris dumped Hefner in June. But the founder of the adult entertainment empire has already moved on, announcing that his new girlfriend is Shera Bechard, a 27 year-old French Canadian model who was Playboy's Miss November 2010.

"I'm happy to be in a better place with new girlfriends (Miss January 2011) Anna Sophia Berglund & Shera Bechard," he tweeted, adding that he had won Tuesday evening's game of dominoes at his Playboy Mansion home.

She let it get that close to marriage before bailing out, if she already gave Hugh Hefner a test drive? Please. Respectable girls like Crystal don’t want to admit they went “wild in the sack” with a fiance old enough to be their dad, because it gives other men the wrong idea about them. In American culture girls are often raised by their Harvard (or fill-in an ivy league school) grad moms to project a chaste and even Victorian public image, so they will increase their odds of snaring that rare husband with Bill Gates’s resources.

What alternate world do you live in where most American mothers Ivy League grads?
