I admit I don't know a lot about them, so I'm hoping Endorphin
or anyone else can fill us in.

Showtime latenight has them on all the time, and my first instinct is "If there is no dick, you must click", but I feel I haven't really given them a chance.

From the ones that I HAVE seen, the plot is usually more involving, the acting..well, marginally better, and the sex is somewhat lacking, though I have been surprised at how many porn stars show up in those. Keri Windsor was in one the other night.

Does anyone know of any good ones that they could recommend?

I like the softcore cable movies with Kira Reed (now of Playboy TV fame). She does hardcore on her website marriedcouple.com, but she's best known for her softcore feature films. She's a surprisingly good actress with a nice body...

Among my favorites of all time are the classic Young Lady Chatterly w/ Harlee McBride and the Emmanuelle films.

The best softcore I have seen so far

The story of two girls who use sex as a mean to climb the social ladder. Sex scenes are well shot and most important, arousing.

Blondie, I have given this so much thought that I probably have forgotten half the things I like about soft core. I understand your dissapointment in the lack of erect cocks, given that you are a heterosexual woman and all. So we may not be able to relate on all levels, but I think I can provide a few arguments that would at least increase your appreciation.

1. Soft core more often catches the sexiest moment. The moment just before revelation. Soft core directors usually understand that the sexiest moment that can be shown is that split econd before the bra and panties reveal what is underneath. Too many X rated films pay little or no attention to the act of undressing.What is sexy?

2. I totally love my joy of just seeing a woman naked. I feel so sorry for the guys at seem to need gapes, DP, and A2M to find enjoyment. Have we not heard guys so against Jenna J because she doesn't lick a cock that has been shoved in her ass or something like that. Heck! My favorite Jenna J scene was in an R-Rated flick, Private Parts. I feel absolute sympathy for a guy that need so SEE a chick get gangbanged in order to get ANY enjoyment out of it.

3. Along the same lines. I get such a kick out of The Bare Wentch Project! The DVD is so fucking awesome. It is filled with playful nudity. Nudity that's primary purpose is nudity. It is not always some preparataion for the big moment. The nudity itself is the big moment.

4. This is hard to explain..Movies are fiction and sometimes the less realistic, the more you can allow yourself to imagine it is reality. For example, my imagination can wander to the existence of Wolverine but I never liked Superman because I could never buy the notion that if you merely slip on a pair of glasses nobody knows who the fuck you are. So along the same lines the fake orgasms of softcore chicks can make my imagination run wild more than the Oh Yeahs of hard core chicks.

5. As for the penis....In real life, women really should not take a lack of wood or a little amount of spunk as an offense to them. Many other factors may play a part. However, in porn, lack of rock fucking hard wood, lack of decent spunk, and 30 seconds of manual stimulation by the male performer kinda ruin the fantasy. In softcore, lack of even a view of the penis allows you to imagine just how fucking turned on this chick could make you feel.


Softcore appeals to me on two basic levels...

the erotic: see works by Zalman King like Wild Orchid and Red Shoe Diaries

and the juvenile: see the Bare Wentch Project.

I can't say I have seen entire volumes on soft porn, but I see what they show here on Satelite TV, and I think I can fairly say the following in regard to soft porn.

1) The soft porn series' (With the exception of Emanuaelle) tend to lack storyline in a similar way to many porn features but to a lesser extent.

2) The features (and I am generalising here) tend to be populated by H/C porn starlets, and are usually on the bustier side (Fake) which is fine if you like that... I don't, so I stay away from a lot of the features.

3) The scenes are shot a lot more romantically, theres slow motion in just about every sex scene, and a lot of emphasis on touching. Its more erotic than harcore porn, but not as sexual.

4) Some of the series are downright hillarious, if you want something lighthearted and stimulating at the same time, try watching "The Click" or "Butterscotch". Both series have a premise so silly its funny, and there is some great comedy in it, aswell as an array of hot women and stimulating scenes.

5) Justine (Series of the same name) is hotter than the sun and somebody just wasn't convincing enough when they tried to get her to do hardcore DAMMIT!

Endo, I sorta watched this one called Desires & Deceptions, or some crap.

I found I didn't miss the dick much at all. This office pounding was actually pretty good and energetic, but too short. Gina Ryder was in it, too.

What's the deal with some movies when they don't show the real thrusting, it's more like the guy has to move his whole body, you know what I mean? What's that about? It looks funny.

Lazy camera work mostly. They are not allowed to show the genital region of the performers, so instead of working the camera to avoid showing it, they have the performer never break contact in the genital region so you can't see it. Essentially they want you to think the two are getting it on well and truley "balls deep". I think it looks silly personally, in fact I would much rather see a softcore movie where the performers are actually having sex, but the camera is worked in a way that hides it. I don't know the legalities of it though, so maybe thats why they don't do it.

Playmate of the Apes - Oh man, this one was really bad
check this out

These lesbo cosmonauts are too busy fucking and naturally the spaceship crashes


Tribadism was shown only for a second or two, the rest was face shots

I'm starting to notice certain things that they can and cannot do in softcore, and I'd love to find some kind of a list, or how they come up with this shit.

Full frontal female is okay, but only full backal male
NEVER show any dick, hard or soft. What's up with that?They concentrate on the tits a lot, they're safe.
They can't really show a hand actually rubbing a genital.
Of course no close-ups or penetration shots.

I saw more passion in hardcore so far

The whole point of softcore (besides distributing sex flicks to US areas where XXX is forbidden) is the frustration that's borne out of it. If one regrets the absence of genitals grabbing in softcore, one may as well stick to porn. I like a bit of both worlds. Sometimes I'm in the mood for full-blown close-up thrusting, sometimes I'll want to see wide-framed beautiful bodies writhing and grinding, even if it's fake. You often get more beautiful performers in erotica also.
I do have fond memories of the aforementioned "Lady Chatterley" flick, though I admit I attribute it all to the sheer ruggedness of an actor called Brett, who played the lumberjack. Or was it really Brett? He also starred in pretty tame sex scenes in Andy Sidaris "Malibu Express" & Fred Olen Ray "Inner Sanctum" . He was a former Playgirl model I think. Come on Saki, help me!
Yes, all Kira Reed starrers are definite recommendations, me personal fave being "Losing Control" (UK title) w.Doug Jeffery, I couldn't count how many times I've "enjoyed" myself over the "masked lover" segment.

vodka tonic! Welcome back, dude.

I don't always need the close-ups, sometimes it's nice NOT to have them blown up in my face. I just don't think I've watched the good softcore stuff yet, but I'm not gonna give up.
