Someone mentioned Playtime (the Tati classic) on another thread and it got me thinking about Playtime (the Monique Parent classic).

So s/d as well if you like.

Sometimes you need a break from the triple-penetration anal bukkake escapades.

I remember the Emmanual series being pretty hot, but I was 12 watching the Betamax so who knows.

From Viz: people who like porn don't like it. People who don't like porn don't like it. What's the point?

Mike W (caek), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 02:02 (nineteen years ago)

depends on what you mean by "soft." Pictures of naked ladies are nice, even without explicitness. Movies that are supposed to be porno but don't show penetration are awful, esp. after you've paid for them.

D for dull, dull, dull. What's the use of porn where you don't see anything downstairs? Does it even qualify as porn?

hahah Yeah, me too. I was a bit younger, I think. Watched it through the keyhole. My parents were watching it in the living room.

Not a big fan of soft porn. I prefer seeing dick and vagina UP CLOSE YO.

i kind of don't understand the point of it after you're, like, 15. or any porn, really. i can see maybe downloading it if you're bored, but actually buying it?

Mr Jones (Mr Jones), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 09:25 (nineteen years ago)

I go through phases. At the moment I am just fed up with the hardcore, mostly it's just too hard. I'm bored of the whole "ho" and "bitches" and "milfs" and also it has no sense of humour at all. Whereas Russ Meyer - they look like they're actaull having fun even if they're not actaully having sex.

american soft porn - dud
german soft porn from the 70's - classic!!

american soft porn tend to be the "playboy" style - perfect women and men, moody lightning, glossy direction, nothing is "real",lots of cliches.
german stuff - amateur young actors, sense of humor,un-shaved pussys,
and funny,non cliched situations.

xpost OTM. I'm a little sick of the whole "Hey excuse me would you like to come into our van (cut to hard fucking with dudes going "Yeaaaah! NICE DUDE! in the background)" schtick, and too many of these free posts have stuff on them I never ever want to see again -- piss porn, gag porn etc.

The Bikini Carwash Company suddenly seems incredibly alluring to me once again.

i agree 100%

i agree with this, have you seen any movies where the people are like, ultra agressive and pull eachothers hair and spit in eachothers mouths or crotches, whoa.

Why bother watching anything really?

So why watch porn? To get you aroused, duh. It's been proven that everyone becomes aroused when watching porn, even if they admit it doesn't do a *thing*.

Nathalie (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

That's a statement that requires a little more clarification, the word "porn" means about 17 trillion things!

Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

Was Vanity a softporn actress? Because I'm almost positive I saw her in a softcore in a hotel in Mexico City.

andy --, Wednesday, 1 March 2006 17:56 (nineteen years ago)

I dunno about softcore, but I've had a yen for 70s and 80s porn lately for pretty much the same reasons Ned lists.

Raw, Uncompromising, and Noodly (noodle vague), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 18:02 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, the best 70s hardcore is pretty good, again it's more to do with an attitude. And of course the women look different. Porn to-day, esp. in the USA is either the Playboy thing mentioned above or with women who mostly look like crack addicts and men who don't look much better. OK, I'm simplifying but it's just not appealing, let alone arousing.

So anyway - anyone know the name of a softcore movie where this women (who is now a successful player in Hollywod - in the film) goes back to her hometown, remembers various make-outs she had with various men and women and eventually decides to stay there? Funny and hot, and without recourse to double a money shots.

Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 21:15 (nineteen years ago)

Okays, I have a story:

We got cable when I was maybe 13 or 14, and we had a package with Showtime and HBO. As I quickly learned, there was lots of softcore on these stations, so I started sneaking downstairs at night and taping nude scenes -- often as short as a few seconds -- from the late night movies.

Over the next few years, the string of scenes on the tape, labeled "Saturday Night Live [some date I can't remember]", grew longer and longer. I had bits from Bikini Carwash, Emanuelle, Red Shoe Diaries, Real Sex specials, some movie about a nude calendar, various Euro-crap, etc. And I watched it over and over again (though eventually I gradually moved to internet porn and playboys as those became more of an option)

Then one day, when I was in high school, I put in the tape and found there were scenes added that I had not added myself. It turned out that my younger brother, now pubescent himself, had discovered the tape and, without saying anything about it, began adding scenes. But the weird thing is, although I knew it was him and he obviously knew that I would know, we never spoke about it, and to this day we've never acknowledged the existence of the tape to one another.

Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

That's a beautiful story, Hurting.

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

My friends & I spent post-highschool afternoons taping interspersed segments of random TV shows & skinemax joints. It's only enojyable as a surprise in an incongruous context, otherwise super dud! Softcore films are terrible, and usually embarrassing, especially when they're not naked ladies. The worst segment was two ladies with a three-foot dildo that doubled as an alarm clock or something and shot lotion out of the glans. The whole thing looked like an ad for a law firm---both of the chicks were dressed in power suits, sitting in an office w/leatherbound books and mahogany desks. This sounds funny, but it was like chloroform. SO boring. The best segment was a lady dressed as a fairy talking to a bunch of snake-themed sock puppets. Those are the only two I remember, naked blondos are pretty much interchangable. Why would someone pay to see semi-clothed girls waving their asses & fakey tits around?

I hate the look of '70s porn. So many bad fake perms. Harry Reems is funny, though.

Abbott (Abbott), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 23:03 (nineteen years ago)

I spent many a late night in the mid to late 80's staying up late watching Skinemax or HBO. I would actually look through the monthly guide to find shows with the N for nuditiy and the SC for "strong sexual content". When you're 13 or 14 softcore porn is pretty sweet.

I just don't get nowadays why anyone would rent all the unrated softcore T&A movies that I see at the local video store when there's real actual porn in the back. Are you too embarassed to go into the little room with the subtle "Adult" sign above the door?

joygoat (joygoat), Thursday, 2 March 2006 03:23 (nineteen years ago)

The porn ratio on Skinemax has gone way up, I think - seems like you used to have keep an eye out, now it's like once the clocks strike 10 in New York, all the titties come out to play.

Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 2 March 2006 12:53 (nineteen years ago)

Well either obviously.

I'm amazed that poeple would think that just becasue hardcore exists softcore is redundant, not everyone wants everything now.

What I don't understand is why people in the UK buy Nuts or the like when they can buy, I don't know - is Penthouse still going? Are they really buying Nuts for the non-pictorial content?

Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Thursday, 2 March 2006 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

Because they're fucking idiots.

Raw, Uncompromising, and Noodly (noodle vague), Thursday, 2 March 2006 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, that could be it - or they're too short to reach the top shelf.

Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Thursday, 2 March 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

If I had to buy a copy of Nuts I'd hide it inside a porn mag.

Has there ever been a good softcore film? Not just a mainstream movie with strong sexual themes, but a movie whose primary purpose is erotic, that is entertaining and doesn't make you feel squicked out about being a human being?

sciolism, Thursday, 9 July 2009 09:48 (sixteen years ago)

The problem is the word "entertaining."

This is a confused primary purpose. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm usually either thinking about big soapy titties OR I'm thinking about watching a real movie. Never both.

a Gioconda kinda dirty look (kenan), Thursday, 9 July 2009 10:09 (sixteen years ago)

As I mentioned 'Drawn To The Flame' is quite good. Actually funny in places, alright acting and some nice soft core (in the English sense) action.

"Finally, the always adorable Glori-Anne Gilbert shows off her luscious curves while frolicking on a bed. A very lucky string of beads finds itself treated to an up-close tour of every nook and cranny of her impressive body. As I've mentioned before in various reviews, Glori-Anne has this girl-next-door quality that I find very appealing. And yes, she also has very nice cans...

There are a few additional segments of Danni, Monique, and Lorissa to round out the rest of the DVD and to top up what was a nice walk down memory lane, or, perhaps more aptly, mammary lane (sorry—couldn’t resist)."

That sreviews site is very amusing, but not really geared towards anyone who isn't a man of a certain age who never outgrew the sniggering about boobies phase.

It's weird (to me) that the mainstreaming of porn hasn't led to better quality sexytime movies, movies that, say, a female who's not particularly into gynecological close-ups or escalating shock value stuff might enjoy.

I remember some skinemax romp where a dude was shrunk to a little size and wound up in a girl's vagina when she sat on her bike seat. Then he tried to get out and ended up accidentally stimulating her while she was in class.

Does anyone remember wtf this is?

Has there ever been a good softcore film?

Hells yes! Practically anything by Zalman King but his masterpiece is Women of the Night. Also check out Some Call It Loving which stars King and is my all-time favorite film.

Joseph Sarno is hit or miss. Sadly, his best film, Young Playthings, is hard to find and the bootleg that's been floating around has horrible sound. But I got a great deal out of The Swap and How They Make It, Sin in the Suburbs (these two are on one nifty SWV DVD), and Moonlighting Wives. And even his dull ones have a midnight, too-lazy-and-vaguely-hypnotized-to-change-the-channel feel to them.

Romping through the SWV catalog is fun even if the movies suck. I dig Day of the Nightmare and The Scream of the Butterfly (both on one disc), Satan's Bed (starring a pre-John Yoko), and Fluctuations.

Finally, definitely read David Andrews' brilliant Soft in the Middle: The Contemporary Softcore Feature in Its Contexts, the best book written on softcore.

Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 10 July 2009 10:44 (sixteen years ago)

Sarno's Young Playthings, The Seduction of Inga and especially Laura's Toys are great. Francis Leroi's Je Suis à Prendre starring Brigitte Lahaie is beautiful as well.

Kevin, I'll follow up your book-advice!

young depardieu looming out of void in hour of profound triumph (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 10 July 2009 11:37 (sixteen years ago)

Try Tinto Brass: "Paprika", "Miranda" or "The Key" for a start. Mileage will vary, as with all this stuff, but he's a real film maker, and his best films are crafted to look like Fellini.
