Why Do So Many Women Love To Read This Sex Blog?

The celebration of female sexuality is at the editorial core of the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette.

Hello, this is the Old Soldier, the editor/publisher of this magazine.  Readers will find this celebration expressed in the fiction, in the articles and commentaries and in the numerous images of the nude female body.

As the editor, publisher of PFFG, I know that many readers may think I go too far, that this constant drumbeat of female sexology is unnecessary. 

These critics are absolutely right.  It is unnecessary and maybe I do go too far; but I focus on female sexology because it fascinates me.  I want to celebrate female sexuality.  And this magazine is my invitation of community to everyone who feels the same way as I do about female sexuality.

I think when women explore the PFFG, they sense this community of celebration.  And that is why the majority of the readers of the PFFG are women.

Of course, the PFFG is about a lot more than just sex.  It’s really about life.  And my female readers sense that, too.

An Amateur In An Adult Video

Hello hello hello, my brother and sister bloggers, readers, writers and my Flash Fiction Fanatics from all over the world: Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, North and South America.

Right now in Pittsburgh, the sun is shinning but the high will only be 51 degrees.  The Old Soldier is not going to be able to finish his book on the Negro Baseball Leagues.  I have to take it back to the public library here in Oakland, the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, but I did learn a lot about an important part of baseball history here in the United States.

Cover of A Few Good Men (Special Edition)

For the past few nights the retro-television station has been showing A Few Good Men starring Tom Cruise.  What a great movie.  I watched it twice a couple of nights ago.  The movie was full of great characterizations.

If you are a flash fiction writer, you can learn a lot from a good movie about characterization.  Just remember these three things about characterization.  There are three basic characters in any kind of fiction: movies, plays, short stories or novels.  There are flat, round and dynamic characters.

  • A flat character has no inner conflict or doubt and cannot change.
  • A round character does have inner conflict or doubt and has the capacity to change.
  • A dynamic character has inner conflict or doubt, has the capacity to change and does change.

This is the Old Soldier reporting from Pittsburgh around noon.  Keep reading and keep writing that flash fiction.

Ladies, Answer This Question Before Doing Your First Adult Video

An Amateur Just Before Doing Her Porn Video

Okay, you’ve got your courage up and you are definitely going to do your first porn video.  How does a woman decide which site to contact?

Here’s my suggestion.  Watch the videos of the sites you are interested in.  Then ask yourself this question: do you get the feeling that the women are belittled for having sex on camera or are they celebrated for having sex on camera?

Then make your choice.

Oh, in the video never give your real name or where you work.  You can say the kind of work that you do but not the company you do it for.  If you are a student don’t give the college that you are attending.  And it is best never to be specific about where you live even if you are shooting your video in your hometown.  Tell the viewing audience that you live in a different city in a different state.

Now pay attention here.  The person or people shooting the video will need to see ID to make sure that you are 18 or whatever age you have to be in the state that you are shooting your video in to prove that you are old enough to be in a porn video.  Your ID will have your real information on it, age, name and address.  The person, or the people, shooting the video needs this information in order to pay you.  But don’t give your real information to the audience who will see your video.

If you do these basic things the chances of anyone in your real life finding your video are pretty slim because there are billions of porn videos on the internet and millions are added every month.  The only way the people in your real life will know that you were in a porn video is if you tell them.

Of course, even with the odds in your favor something like 10 million to one, every once in a while a woman is outted. 

The Old Soldier will never lie to you.

PS Make sure the site actually pays you.  Do your homework.  There are sites out there that are scams.  You suck and fuck and don’t get paid a penny. 

Do your research.

And one more thing.  Be sure to tell someone you trust the address of where you will be and what you will be doing just to be safe.

Then enjoy yourself.

Editor’s note (1 January 2013): Ladies, this is new information that I’m adding to this report.  As far as I can tell, any legitimate site will offer you a legally binding contract.  The contract will state what you agree to do and how much you will be paid to do it.  You should not take off any clothes or perform any sex act until you and a representative of the site sign the contract.  At least that’s the way it works at the site that I subscribe to which is in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States.

Porn is not for most women.  But then most women don’t get the opportunity to do porn.  And that’s another story.  Opportunity makes a lot of people do things that lack of opportunity keeps them from doing.  It’s human nature.

Here’s an interesting tid bit that I picked up reading the Huffingpost.  A woman is more likely to pick up a venereal disease from the general population than from professional porn actors because the professionals are regularly checked (the article said every 30 days) for STD (sexually transmitted diseases).  If this is true it’s very good news for a woman doing her first porn videos.  Of course, ladies, you have to research this claim to see if it is true.

Writers: How To Write Flash Fiction For Beginners

You Can Squeeze The Whole World Into A Flash Fiction Story

None Shall Pass

Using words to put life on the page is a daunting but noble task.  Writing is a noble undertaking, whether you are an amateur or a professional writer.

Welcome to the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette, the most dynamic flash fiction publication on the Internet.

Writing good flash fiction is very difficult to do.  It must have a setup, a buildup and a payoff (beginning, middle and an end) just like a regular length short story.  And it must have narrative movement, no matter how slight, to be a short story.  Without narrative movement a writer has a sketch or a vignette.  Flash fiction is a complete story, and you can fit the whole world into it, 1,000 words at a time.

Or; a writer can eat an elephant, if the elephant is cut up into small enough pieces.
