The children of a porn legend have given a glimpse into what life was like growing up in a sex mansion – from filmed orgies to romps with models.

Bob Guccione ran the famous Penthouse magazine, a Playboy rival that was so popular it once outsold the notorious mag. Despite his success, however, he died broke and estranged from most of his family in 2010, reports The Sun.

A new documentary called The Secrets of Penthouse has now lifted the curtain on his extravagant lifestyle and the dodgy dealings that went on behind closed doors. Guccione’s children Nina and Nick, who star in the documentary, say they were exposed to sex from a young age and Nick would even sleep with their dad's models, known as the Pets.

"Our family revolved around sex, which is kind of creepy," Nina, now 63, confessed. Meanwhile, younger brother Nick claims he was having sex with X-rated stars from the age of 15.

"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," he revealed. "Most 15-year-olds could only fantasise about having sex with one of them, I was having sex with all of them."

Penthouse was founded in 1965, nine years after Guccione moved to London from New York after meeting Nina and Nick's British mum. It was a direct competitor to Playboy, run by Hugh Hefner, but was known as the more raunchy of the pair.

But despite the success of the company, Nick said Guccione's love of young models destroyed his parents' marriage. "I was watching my mum so heartbroken that her husband was more interested in the magazine, which involved many different women wanting to model for him," Nick said, describing his dad as a "horny guy." Models also reported Guccione was into orgies and would even film them.

"The only boundaries were no men in the house," Nina said. "Only dad was going to have sex, apparently. Nobody else was allowed to."

Things started to take a turn when Guccione suffered a series of failed investments, including a £130m Atlantic City hotel and casino that was never finished. He also spent a staggering £250m on a luxury hotel in Yugoslavia that went under after just a year.
