FAQ

Why a site dedicated to softcore movies? Isn’t hardcore better?

Well, hardcore certainly has it’s place (and on the net it seems to be ALL over the place!) and most softcore fans are fans of that genre as well; however, there is already an abundance of information available on those types of films.

We believe that softcore fans would also like more information about the movies before they buy or rent them, as well as information about the stars they love to watch. Often online resources (such as the IMDB) are incomplete, inaccurate, and lacking when it comes to user reviews and updates.

What exactly is meant by “softcore”?

For the purposes of this site we are considering any movie that features simulated sex as an integral part of the storyline to be softcore. This can range from the “nudie” flicks found on late-night cable to the almost hardcore style of films that directors such as Jess Franco and Tinto Brass produce. In many cases there may be actual genital contact or stimulation, but there are no “sweat-beads on the labia” close-ups or “money shots”.

We feel the term is a vague one but will use a judgement based upon the studio making the film and the stars in it (for example, the edited-down pornos found on cable will not be considered, but an “art” film featuring actual sex might). Also, some films from certain decades may be more or less explicit than the films today but are still classified as “soft”.

Has so-and-so ever done a hardcore porno movie?

Yes! Actually, in all seriousness you’d be surprised how many actors and actresses have done some “extra mile” stuff during their careers. Some actresses have modeled for men’s magazines or done some fetish videos, and a few have even gone on to full-blown XXX careers (like Tracy Ryan and Taylor St. Claire). The trend in softcore now is to cast adult actresses because they are more comfortable doing the explicit nudity.

Can you put me in touch with this actor/actress?

The fact is, we are just fans like you are. Although we do have contact from time to time with people in the industry, we will not divulge anyone’s contact information without their permission.

If you have questions about anything related to softcore, drop into the forums and ask away.
