softcore
Softcore is a term used to describe a genre of pornographic films that are more explicit than mainstream films but less explicit than hardcore pornography. The term "softcore" is often used to differentiate these films from the more explicit "hardcore" films. Softcore films typically feature more dialogue, plot development, and character development than hardcore films, and they often have a narrative structure similar to that of mainstream films. Softcore films can be found in various formats, including feature films, television shows, and web series. They are often produced by independent filmmakers and distributed through a variety of channels, including DVDs, streaming services, and pay-per-view websites. Softcore films are often marketed as being more "family-friendly" than hardcore films, and they are often used in educational settings to teach about sexuality and consent. Despite their more explicit content, softcore films are generally considered to be less controversial than hardcore films, and they are often more widely available.
