So what is soft porn in details?
Soft porn may include masturbation and sexual activities between people. But you can't see sexual penetration, cunnilingus, fellatio, or ejaculation in details. Attitudes change regularly and sometimes it allows to show erected penis and sometimes doesn't.
How to hide things that shouldn't be available to eyes? Softcore scenes may be obscured, hidden and filmed in a way to hide some elements. It may be connected with carefully chosen camera angles but also using draped clothes, hair, etc.
What's important, some filmmakers make one scene in 2 versions - softer and more hardcore. It allows to distribute one video or photo session among different types of consumers.
History of soft pornography content
Erotic pornography was known in the past from the beginning of photography. And it may be considered as origins of softcore porn. In 1950s softcore pics were presented in so-called "men's magazines" but then it worked this way because even woman's nipple was almost a crime, especially from a moral base. 20 years later titles like Playboy or Hustler changed it showing almost all regions of women's bodies.
It for sure made sexuality and erotic elements more popular in mainstream. It caused filming titles like “Emanuelle” and appearing in ads and television braver scenes connected with sexual acts and naked bodies. But softcore porn isn't only a part of mainstream but also a genre of porn that is quite popular among viewers.
What is censorship in softcore porn?
Softcore films are classified as pornographic scenes and because of this they are under restrictions. It doesn't mean that some softcore titles are softer than sex scenes available in television - if something is called ponography, it is pornography.
Based on this, soft porn may be considered in different ways in various locations that make them also available mainly for adult viewers. Only in some countries soft porn is available for younger people in legal ways.
Differences between softcore and hardcore porn
Softcore porn doesn't show some specific things that are forbidden. Hardcore Porn can show anything, including close up on genitals and penetration. Based on a fact that almost everything is allowed in hardcore pornography, also soft porn is changing.
In some modern softcore sex scenes more things are allowed to show. Because of this in soft porn you can find oral sex, for instance.
A special type of softcore videos are also scenes of hardcore sex that are cut to make them softcore. Technically, these movies are still softcore despite sexual intercourse is actually carried out, but merely isn’t shown.
Real sex in softcore porn scenes
This issue is wider and then we should have focused on a question “Do pornstars really have sex when make porn scenes?”. As you can see, it depends. If softcore movies is filmed to be only softcore pornography, it may be free from penetration not only on a screen but also in reality. Then actors only pretend that they have sex.
But in some situations softcore sex scene may be based on sexual act with penetration. And then we can wonder if filmed sex is real sex or just a penetration, nothing more. So it’s safer to write that softcore video may include penetration even if it isn’t shown with details on a screen. But if we can call it “real sex”, it’s another matter.
