Article title

I believe this article should be "Sofcore Pornography," not "Softcore." The word "softcore" is an adjective, not a noun. Also, the article is clearly twinned with "Hardcore Pornography," and its title should reflect that symmetry. I would therefore propose that "Softcore" redirect to "Softcore Pornography," rather than vice versa.

• I agree, but suggest a more accurate title would be US softcore pornography, as it ignores every other country. Ghostwords (talk)

Professionalism

There needs to be some degree of maturity in the description of genres. It's just kind of thrown together and is not very professional. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.31.166 (talk) 06:07, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. This article is terribly written. It really needs cleaning up, maybe even a deletion until someone can actually do a decent job. Sandwiches99 (talk) 07:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Ditto. This one and Pornography in Japan are probably the two biggest messes on my watchlist... Though rather than deletion, I think someone needs to rewrite both from scratch, probably using a good source on the subjects as a template for article format. Problem is, they're both such big topics, it'll take a lot of time and work. Dekkappai (talk) 14:15, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Softcore pornography = Oxymoron (?)

I always thought SC is eroticism and not porn. Maybe more sources are needed for this article? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 07:25, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

• It's a well-established term. Ghostwords (talk)
  • It's well-established, but for late-night Cinemax offerings, not for the subject of much of the article. By definition, pornography must depict sexual behavior. Simply laying around nude and looking pretty doesn't cut it. —RVJ (talk) 16:36, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
    • Yeah, Im wondering myself if there is some appropriate references to the fact that a lot of people don't see much of this as porn, but just erotic photography (ie. Suicide Girls), or not even erotic at all (ie. nudist/naturist photography). Being naked and it being photographed/filmed does not equal porn. Softcore porn is simulated sex.JanderVK (talk) 14:34, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
