SOFT X
In free nations that which is not forbidden is permitted so you see a lot of crowding at the edge of restrictions. Where buildings are limited to ten stories you see a lot of ten story buildings. It is accepted that people drive as fast and pay as little in taxes as the law allows. Hollywood is expert at maximizing sex and violence within the PG-13 rating. Regular movies skate to the edge of T&A while T&A movies skate to the edge of frontal nudity, and so on. The thing not shown on TV is nipples. The thing not shown in contemporary cable soft core is genitalia.

In Soft X (roughly 1969-1972) the thing not being shown was explicit sex. But you could be anatomically explicit, go right to the edge of sex and imply whatever you wanted. The result was an hilariously inept genre that did a world of good by demonstrating the inane folly of the whole concept of content restrictions.  (more)

Everything in this section is a soft X film, but there are also many soft X films in the sexploitation sections. The solo girls section contains many vintage soft X (and sometimes not so soft) 16mm loops of just girls. Fans of soft X might enjoy European movies by Tinto Brass, Erwin Dietrich and others.
