[…] Playboy Bunnies are not sex workers; however, anecdotal evidence demonstrates that some have been paid for their time during which they voluntarily performed sexual favors for guests at Playboy's lounge and mansion. Playboy Bunnies may be photographed for Playboy; and several Playboy Playmates have dressed in Playboy Bunny costumes while appearing in magazine editorials.",
