Softcore refers to a genre of adult entertainment that features sexual content but is less explicit than hardcore pornography. It often includes suggestive scenes, nudity, and sexual situations without graphic depictions of sexual acts. Softcore is typically designed to appeal to a broader audience, including those who may find hardcore content too intense. This genre can be found in various media, including films, magazines, and online platforms. Softcore productions often emphasize romantic or erotic themes, focusing on the emotional connection between characters rather than solely on physical intimacy. Examples of softcore films include those produced by Cinemax and HBO.
