A Tribute To Hugh Hefner And Playboy Magazine

 

Woman As Art

I was born in 1946.  The first issue of Playboy Magazine was published in 1953.  I probably did not become aware of the magazine until I was well into my teenage years; but I sure knew about the magazine by the time I joined the army in 1964.  You could say that I grew up with Playboy Magazine.

Even in the radical 60s, Playboy Magazine was risqué.  It was sold over the counter and had photos of naked women in it.  Millions of young men loved looking at those photos.  And millions of young women fantasized about being naked in Playboy Magazine, naked, well paid for being naked, desirable and famous at least for a little while.

But Playboy Magazine had a lot more going for it than just photos of naked women.  It had in-depth investigative reporting.  It had fiction from well-respected writers with international reputations.  It had interviews with everybody who was anybody including presidents of the United States.

Even as a kid, I knew I probably would never live the Playboy lifestyle.  And as things have turned out I was right.

But the magazine had a life changing impact on me.  It gave me a vision of what a cutting-edge magazine could be: a mixture of brazen sexuality and serious writing at the same time.  Finally, because of the Internet, I’ve been lucky enough to make that vision a reality.

Behind The Scenes: May 14, 2012

Hello, world!  The blogging day has begun.  The Old Soldier is at his workstation early (7:00 am in Pittsburgh) this morning and he is ready to go.

First off, be sure to check out the new article on gang banging by the Love Doctor.  It’s stuck to the front page.  Check it out before it rotates to the archives.

I got a chance to talk to The Matriarch on the phone yesterday (Mother’s Day).  That woman is such an inspiration to me.  At the age of 92 she can laugh, has a sharp mind and still constantly gives good advice and comfort to her family.  The Matriarch lives with my older sister in Greensburg which is outside of Pittsburgh, too far for me even by bus; but I’m still kicking around an idea about doing an article on adult children caring for their ageing parents.  See, the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette is not just about sex.

Speaking of sex, here is a paragraph from 1984 by George Orwell that the Old Soldier is re-reading.  I bought an old paperback edition of the novel from The Big Idea Bookstore which is only a ten-minute walk from my apartment and which is owned by the workers.

The young, strong body, now helpless in sleep, awoke in him a pitying, protecting feeling.  But the mindless tenderness that he had felt under the hazel tree, while the thrush was singing, had not quite come back.  He pulled the overalls aside and studied her smooth white flank.  In the old days, he thought, a man looked at a girl’s body and saw that it was desirable, and that was the end of the story.  But you could not have pure love or pure lust nowadays.  No emotion was pure, because everything was mixed up with fear and hatred.  Their embrace had been a battle, the climax a victory.  It was a blow struck against the Party.  It was a political act.

Why Is The PFF Gazette Covering The Adult Industry?

Brianna Frost Hogan

The porn industry is big news.  It is larger than the movie and the music industries combined.  In the United States it entices thousands of women every day to be filmed or taped having sex.  That to me is news.

And then there is the age-old argument of whether or not porn can ever be art.  Well, it obviously is entertainment.

As the editor, publisher of the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette, I want to cover not only the things that everyone else covers but also the things that they do not cover.  That brings in readers.  I only cover the amateurs, the women who are doing their first on up to around their fifth porn video.  They are not acting.

But I want to cover porn as a legitimate form of entertainment.  Many, many millions of men and women in the United States buy and watch porn.  As an older, heterosexual male I’m trying to get my mind around why so many attractive, articulate and in many cases  well-educated young  (and not so young women) volunteer to have their bodies ravished on camera.  And there are two things that I have found out: they do not feel they are being ravished but are giving as good as they get; or, they like being ravished.  What other publication will offer that insight to you?

A 29-Year-Old-Unmarried Woman With No Boyfriend Does Her First Porn Video

By the way, my niece Brianna Frost Hogan is a well-know webcam stripper who performs sex acts on herself and has recently begun to perform fellatio on her own website.  She makes a lot of money from thousands of subscribers.  Last time I checked it was $20.00 a subscription.  That’s $20.00 every month per subscription.  I’m only guessing but I figure she has thousands of subscribers.  Young women in porn on the internet is not an abstraction to me.

Isn’t it time we admit to ourselves that we (or at least millions upon millions of us) like porn?

Once again, this magazine is definitely not for everyone.  But maybe it’s just right for you.

Many Women In Porn Videos Don’t Have Orgasms

In my reporting on porn videos on the internet, I’ve found out a baffling fact.  Just because a woman is in a porn video does not mean she will have an orgasm during the video.

Do you get the irony here?

The Old Soldier only follows amateurs, the young women (and not so young women) doing their first, second, third or fourth video.  They are not acting.  But often times if they are matched up with just one male talent the women do not have an orgasm, at least not with the man.

Often times these women use a vibrator to have an orgasm.  Let me repeat that.  The women have to use a vibrator to have an orgasm.

The reason that these women don’t have an orgasm with one man is because no matter how hard and often he plunges his erection into the woman’s mouth, butt or vagina the clitoris does not get enough stimulus to make the woman cum.

Now if the woman is in a gang bang she usually has several orgasms (more orgasms in a very short period of time then she will have in her real life) because just the number of erections sliding in and out of her vagina will usually give enough stimulus to her clitoris to make her cum more than once during the video.

This is one reason why some of these women agree to be gang banged.  A woman knowing she is being taped having sex with several men can be a real turn on to her.  The money is a turn on.  And the orgasms are real and powerful.  If a woman can let herself go and just enjoy the moment her gang bang video will be the most exciting sexual experience of her life.  That is if she gets out of the porn business before she becomes jaded.  If she stays in the porn business too long her gang bang will be looked back upon as a negative experience; or at least as not as great an experience as she first thought it was.

The lesson for all of us men (boyfriends, husbands and lovers) is to pay attention to the clitoris.

What Goes Through A Woman’s Mind During A Gangbang?

Of course, for the vast majority of women, voluntarily participating in a gangbang is beyond comprehension; but for some women it is not.

This is 2011.  This is the age of the internet.  Porn is easy to obtain.  Women watch porn.  They see other women in porn.  Sex is everywhere.

Women no longer hide their sexuality.  They are no longer embarrassed by wanting sex.  At least a lot of women feel this way, especially young women.

Young women love experimenting with their sexuality.  They experiment with oral and woman on woman sex.  To a lot of young women sex is just sex, no big deal.  Some even experiment with the gangbang.

Years ago, one of my sisters, when she was a teenager, said to me that she would like to be in a porn movie.  That was before she got married and became respectable; but I think a lot of young women would do things in their teens and twenties that they would never consider doing when they get older.

Personally, I have always been a fan of nice young women who cross the line and do the gangbang.

I’m old now; but when I was young I had sex with two female students at Point Park University (then Point Park College) here in Pittsburgh in their dormitory room.  Afterwards, did I feel guilty?  Of course not.

And I don’t think that a lot of young women who have sex with more than one man at the same time feel guilty, either.  Some of my favorite porn videos on the internet are the gangbang.  I’m talking about the online, legit porn sites that actually pay the young women to have sex on camera.  This one site only uses amateurs, a lot of them college students.  So when they have an orgasm it’s for real.  These young women are not actresses.

As far as I can tell, these young women allow themselves to be gangbanged for the money, because they like sex and because they consider being in a porn video hot.  After all that sucking and fucking they usually report having several orgasms.  And from all the noise that a lot of them make, you believe it.

So, I wrote a sex story about a young woman who is gangbanged and loves it.  The story is not so much about sex as it is about the state of mind of a nice young woman who loses all of her sex inhibitions.

Ladies, you know what I’m talking about.

Donna Lee’s First Gangbang

Donna Lee and her friends were celebrating their last finals as seniors at the University of Pittsburgh. Donna had already accepted a full-time position with benefits as a Patient Relations Representative at one of the hospitals in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center system. Donna was determined to get very drunk.

After several hours of drinking Donna’s best friend Mary Carter and several other classmates left the bar. Left to party on was Donna, Jeff Howling, Bob Springfield, Tim Shaffer, Mike McCormick, Ron Nolan and Frank Mulligan. The bartender called last call.

“If you guys buy the beer,” Donna said, “we can party at my place.”

Three hours later, Donna realized she was naked, on her back on the low table in her livingroom, her head hanging over the end of the table and all the guys were naked, too. The guys were kissing every inch of her body, their hands all over her. Someone got over her face on his knees. When she saw his huge, hard manhood she automatically opened her mouth. The huge penis slid into her mouth and she closed her eyes. Her head bobbed with the thrusting of his penis.

Someone opened her legs wide and started eating her out. The hard meat kept plunging in and out of her mouth. The guy eating her out knew what he was doing. She was so wet. She was so wet. Oh, she was so wet. Someone was sucking on her left breast. Someone was sucking on her right breast. She could feel her nipples rise up, hard and proud.

Cum began gushing into her mouth. She swallowed and swallowed and swallowed. When the soft penis was taken out of her mouth another hard, fat one slid in. She sucked and sucked and sucked.

She felt her legs being raised and rested on someone’s shoulders. Then a hard meat began to slowly slide in and out of her vagina. Donna reached between her legs and began massaging her clitoris. So good. So good, she thought. Oh, so good.

She felt her mouth filling with warm cum. She moaned and started cumming herself.  It was the deepest orgasm she’d had in her life. She kept masturbating. She couldn’t get enough. Another hard meat slid into her mouth. She moaned and sucked greedily. Whoever was thrusting in her vagina began cumming. She felt warm liquid splashing on her breasts and stomach. Realizing the guys were masturbating on her, that their cum was splashing on her she felt her excitement building, building, building and oh she was cumming again. She couldn’t believe it. She was cumming again. Oh it felt so good. So good. So good.

Cum gushed into her mouth. She swallowed and swallowed and swallowed. Another hard penis slid into her vagina. Another hard penis slid into her mouth. She wanted more. She needed more. Oh, she thought, please please please more. Don’t stop. Don’t stop. Don’t stop. Please please please don’t stop. Another orgasm began to build in her. It was going to be deep. It was going to be powerful. She kept masturbating. The guy in her vagina started cumming.  The guy in her mouth started cumming.  Donna’s body began rocking with an orgasm so strong she thought she was going to die from pleasure…

Donna awoke alone on the floor, her entire body and face sticky from dry cum. Daybreak peeked through the curtains. Donna felt strangely very happy. Released. Released from all her worries. Re-born. She forced herself to get up. She made her way to the bathroom and brushed her teeth and used mouth wash. She used the toilet. She took a long, hot shower. She dried herself with a fluffy white towel and rubbed an expensive body lotion over her body. She put on a new, white terry-cloth bathrobe. She went to the living room, sat on the sofa and used her cell phone to call her best friend, Mary.

After several rings Mary said, “Donna, do you know what time it is?”

“I think I’m in trouble.”

“Trouble? What kind of trouble?”

“Jeff, Bob, Tim, Mike, Frank and Ron stayed over last night.”

“Oh, Donna! Did they…did they…”

“They didn’t have to. And I loved it. I mean I really, really loved it.”

“Donna, that’s disgusting. That is so disgusting. It’s disgusting to let men use you like that. That only happens in those movies.”

“Last night I was in one of those movies. I was the star. It’s just that no one was filming.”
