We’re sure that many people don’t even know about the existence of soft porn. So we’re here to introduce you to it. Soft porn is what you grew up watching on the TV. No, it’s not the porn you would secretly watch on certain channels after midnight. We’re talking about the sex scenes in the movies we all know and love.
Those scenes don’t show real sex happening. The actors don’t actually do it. They just simulate it. You can’t see any genitals or them performing any real sexual acts. Those are the basic rules of softcore porn. Think of it as romantic porn. This is something you may end up making at home if you don’t position your camera properly.
This is a type of porn that has a vast audience, and we’re here to convince you to give it a try.
Porn Is Made for Everyone
We believe this is something everyone should know. Porn caters to everyone. There are videos of different kinks, fetishes, BDSM, etc. Whatever your poison is, you can probably find some porn about it. There are countless categories to choose from. Even though porn is for everyone, hardcore porn categories may not be.
Softcore porn, or simply soft porn, has its own audience. It’s quite different from the “regular” porn we watch on the daily (we know you do, it’s okay). So, how is it different? Think of it as romantic porn or erotic films, i.e., videos portraying two people having sex but in a much more sensual way than is standard in porn.
Comparing regular to soft porn makes the former seem quite vulgar. We think that should give you a good enough idea of what soft porn is — two people having sex, but you can’t see all the details of it.
Who Watches Soft Porn?
If you enjoy romantic sex scenes in movies, then it’s you — you’re the soft porn audience. Soft porn doesn’t show any penetration, close-ups of genitals, ejaculation, etc. It can still depict nudity though. So if you’ve watched all the sex scenes from Game of Thrones more than once — you should give soft porn a try.
The vanilla nature of this type of porn makes it appropriate for everyone. It’s especially suitable for people who enjoy and are turned on by romance — those who don’t care about seeing other people’s genitals.
In fact, if you’re sick and tired of seeing so many penises and vaginas, soft porn will be a great choice for you. If you get immediately turned off by in-your-face scenes, it’s for you as well. Soft porn just proves that there’s no need for things to be so hardcore all the time. Romantic lovemaking can get you off too.
How Is Soft Porn Made?
This might come as a surprise, but the making of these videos usually doesn’t involve real sex. Yup! Most of the time, softcore actors aren’t even having sex — they’re just grinding. The penetration is only a simulation. Actors usually wear something to cover their genitals too.
When they don’t cover the genitals, they use other methods to hide them. Even oral sex is a simulation. Whenever you see a guy going down on a girl in movies, he’s usually just resting his forehead on her pubic bone. That’s it. It’s just an act.
Hardcore porn is still more popular than softcore though. It has a bigger market, and there are no rules as to how it should be done. With softcore, if a penis is showing, then it’s not softcore anymore.
Do the Actors Get Aroused?
Wouldn’t you? It’s only natural for people to feel arousal when anything sexual is happening. Simply making out with someone can arouse you, so why wouldn’t humping? So the answer is — yes. They usually do.
So how do they deal with arousal? It depends. Usually, actors deal with it before they come to the set. Masturbation does the trick. If they get off beforehand, they don’t have any issues on the set.
They can deal with arousal after the shoot as well. It all depends on what’s more convenient for a certain actor. Sometimes, two versions of porn are made during the shoot — a softcore and hardcore version. In case softcore is shot first, the actors won’t have problems getting it off during hardcore. If hardcore is shot first, the actors won’t have arousal issues during the filming of softcore.
Other Sources of Soft Porn
Now that you know what softcore is, we’re sure we can all agree that social media is a great way to consume it. Is soft porn showing nudity but no genitals? Yes. So can we consider women being nearly naked on social media a type of soft porn? We believe so.
Knowing that, we’d say one of the biggest platforms for soft porn was Tumblr. We all had to come across some kind of porn there. Random porn blogs would follow us all at least once in our Tumblr careers. That has changed after a big porn ban on the platform though.
Another popular social media for soft porn is Instagram. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. Tumblr and Instagram are two social media platforms that revolve around posting images or videos.
Softcore rarely has a place on porn sites, such as PornHub. Searching for soft porn usually leads you to videos that have nothing to do with porn platforms.
Summary
Just like any other kind of porn, soft porn is for everyone. However, it’s made with certain types of people in mind. These are the people that are tired of seeing other people’s genitals and who simply enjoy the sensual nature of sex. That’s who soft porn is for.
Maybe you don’t think you’re one of these people now, but you might become at some point. Watching regular porn all the time can become tiresome. At some point, it all just gets too much. However, you still want to be able to enjoy the arousal that comes from erotic videos.
That’s why it’s great that soft porn exists. We hope it will gain more popularity and become more prevalent in the mainstream.
