Traditional porn is cast through the lens of applauding sex appeal. Gonzo porn is a stark attempt to place the viewer directly into the scene itself. It just so happened that the directors who pioneered this new wave of filming were also producing hardcore porn. But sometimes, you’re looking for something softer. You know, softcore porn.
For years in the early ’90s and on, porn sites were full of male-gaze dominated porn that degraded, objectified, and exploited the women. Despite the male monopolization of the adult film industry, the need for porn for women was born. Female directors and entrepreneurs, like Courtney Trouble, Erika Lust, Shine Louise Houston, and Cindy Gallop, recognized the same thing. The needs of women, progressive couples , and LGBT folks and helped solidify ethical porn sites. These sites produce and distribute consensual films empowering people whose narratives were often disregarded in gonzo porn.
Somewhat reminiscent of the quality of productions in the ’70s, these films are scripted and filmed by passionate directors. They are performed by ethically supported actors. These films cater to a demographic longing for real, sensual (and sometimes non-explicit) adult films.
Lucky for you, we’ve reviewed 11 of the best softcore porn sites below.
Introducing porn into your relationship can be difficult. Couples Cinema takes the stress out by curating content from today’s top porn auteurs at a low price.
The difference between erotica and porn is often just pretension and intention. Take the artists making porn for couples at Couples Cinema. These creative adult films are made by the indie directors of adult cinema and put eroticism first. You can expect to see thoughtful camera angles and compelling emotional stories along with your orgies and cumshots.
This budget-priced site offers hundreds of films from a wide range of filmmakers. We suggest couples start with the aptly named Couple Fantasies films. It has the hottest performers, and its commitment to storytelling adds a relatable spark for new porn fans.
It’s exciting that Lustery is the only site on this list fully composed of couple-submitted amateur porn. I know what you’re thinking: “I don’t want to spend hours searching through poorly lit, shaky camera videos.” Don’t worry. While couples do film their own videos, they’re all in HD and most have surprisingly great camera work.
The real upside to this site is getting to see real couples at work in their own homes. These videos are all so unique in the sense that there’s no set, no film crew, and tons of personality. These real-life couples have an intimacy on screen that no standard porn site has been able to imitate.
Perks to being a member are….well, everything! Membership gets you access to the videos, couple bios, and your own personalized hub. You also gain the ability to submit your own videos and join the couples club. The site presents itself like no other porn site. With a fresh color palette, sweet font, and easy to navigate tabs that will leave no video unturned. For the porn watcher who’s been searching for the most real of the real or completely different videos, Lustery is a must.
Sssh.com is the longest running soft porn site for women and for good reason! Its crowd-sourced films are ethically produced, sex positive, and put focus on female pleasure (not just male!). The site’s original movies have also been the recipients of several prestigious film awards. It seems like every feature in this site is a huge draw. Sssh doesn’t allow non-members to browse the video selection offered. The slideshow on the homepage will give you an idea of what you get when you sign up. Sssh’s exclusive original movies, performers, and photo galleries have garnered enough attention to make this site too good to overlook.
Winner of over 34 awards in 2020, including Paysite of the Year from XBIZ. Adult Time is quickly becoming one of the top soft porn mega-sites around. It has over 100 channels, 50,000 episodes, five new releases per day, and a mix of original and curated content. Adult Time is almost too much porn! Spanning full-length movies to themed scenes, Adult Time offers a little bit of everything. You’ll have no problem finding what you crave. Adult Time’s award-winning original content is augmented by scenes from Vivid, Girlsway, Burning Angel, and other top companies. It even features an incredibly diverse range of performers. Adult Time is one of the best deals in porn.
This one is for the soft porn connoisseurs who’ve been searching for porn that looks…well, real! If the usual scripted sex scene just isn’t cutting it anymore, Bellesa Films is tailor-made for you. The site’s original videos and full-length films are shot by women for women and focus on female pleasure. Get ready for a lot of ass action with a much sweeter delivery. No more obviously fake O’s or foreplay that makes you cringe. Bellesa Films brings the tension and passion with every scene, leaving you sweaty and breathless after. The site boasts top categories such as female orgasms, couples, group sex, fingering and ass play. One visit to Bellesa, and you’ll never look back.
We realize that one of Erika Lust’s sites has already made the cut on this list. But she is just so damn good we had to include another one: Erotic Films. If you’re looking for feature-length softcore films, this is the number one site for you. All content is created in line with the Erika Lust vision (ethically produced and sex-positive content). It runs on a subscription or pay-per-view basis. To me, this is the biggest draw of the site apart from the content itself.
You’ll be able to try out the site while still paying your dues to the performers and directors. You don’t have to worry about putting your budget in jeopardy. Members have access to over 500 films. This includes four new films every month that are produced by Erika and her league of star-studded directors. This includes big wigs like May Medeiros and Lidia Ravviso. Erotic Films is the best place to go for carefully curated, feature-length, beautifully produced content for the softcore lover.
IndiePornRevolution should be on the radar of anyone talking about lesbian porn. Originally NoFauxxx.com, Indie Porn Revolution began by the queen of queer porn themself, Courtney Trouble. At the age of 19, Courtney created and launched the site. It is now the longest-running queer porn website. It has since directed and starred in over 50 films and scenes.
IPR is a queer paradise. It highlights the community like no other and gives a voice to the voiceless. The platform is as unique as its content, almost resembling a blog. Members can access and download erotic photosets and watch cum&glitter. It’s a live sex show site featuring sex workers, artists, and porn stars in the Bay Area. If you’re a history buff with a penchant for queer porn of all shapes and sizes, give the oldest queer porn site a chance.
Consider this your number one source for soft porn. This particular site is easy to navigate, well organized, and very intimate! All videos play in HD and the image gallery is shot in high-def too. Quality is never compromised regardless of how you choose to get off. However, if you’re looking for couples porn featuring a diverse cast of models, and intelligent plot line, look elsewhere. This might not be the best site on the list as it has some growing to do in that category. But overall, it’s a solid option for basic soft porn.

In the mood to watch porn, but not in the mood to deal with a bunch of HD penises on PornHub? There is a happy medium between explicit porn films (opens in new tab) and offerings that are just sexy enough to get the job done without skewing all of your internet ads for months. This is where softcore pornography comes in—a.k.a. porn for people who want a little more sensuality and slightly less sex. Softcore porn was big in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, particularly back in the heyday of the sexploitation genre.
While softcore porn is, admittedly, a tad bit harder to find these days, that doesn't mean it's impossible. Thanks to the glory of the internet, you can still watch plenty of vintage classics (opens in new tab) —and, believe it or not, there are still auteurs creating new material in the softcore subgenre. Is your interest piqued yet? If it is, but you're still feeling unsure of where to start your own softcore porn watching adventure, keep reading because we've collected a variety of options that showcase the range of what this genre has to offer. May we humbly suggest starting your softcore journey with these?
Starring, somewhat amazingly, a young Alyssa Milano as—what else?—a college co-ed, this campy softcore classic has the perfect mix of silliness and sexiness. It's like if Twilight (opens in new tab) actually, you know, went all the way.
The plot of this movie involves a cop that wants to spice up his marriage by filming his wife in various sexual encounters with other people.
There's more plot that happens when this eventually gets them into trouble with a mobster—that classic tale!—but, let's be honest: With sex scenes (opens in new tab) this hot, you won't be watching it for the plot.
A steamy, Spanish-language film about gorgeous students who have a bunch of steamy sex with each other and, in the process, learn some things about love and growing up, too. We love a good coming of age softcore porn!
Featuring mainstream talent like Morgan Fairchild and John Heard, A Perfect Ending is one of those movies that checks the boxes for both "sexy AF softcore porn" and "actual movie with story and plot." The movie follows Rebecca, a housewife in an unhappy and unfulfilling marriage, who confides in two lesbian friends that she's never experienced an orgasm. At their suggestion, she enlists the help of a high-priced escort named Paris, who helps her discover—and take control of—her sexuality.
If you're looking for some softcore sexiness with a little more camp and humor, then give 1983's The First Turn-On! a go. The movie focuses on a group of campers (and their obligatory counselor chaperone) who find themselves stuck in a cave after a landslide and decide to pass the time sharing stories of their first times. As you do.
Nothing quite captures the essence of softcore porn like the '70s aesthetic and if you're feeling vintage vibes, Erika's Hot Summer is about as quintessentially '70s softcore as it gets. As for plot, the movie is about a photographer who travels the world taking pictures of and getting it on with a never-ending series of beautiful women—until he meets Erika, that is. Erika is his own personal playboy kryptonite and once he's been with her, no one else can measure up.
If you look for softcore porn that's a little more character-driven, give Room in Rome a watch. The 2010 Spanish drama is about two women who meet as strangers and have a passionate night together—all while sharing intimate stories about their troubled pasts.
If you love a healthy dose of '80s camp in your softcore viewing, Two Moon Junction is truly a must-see. The move follows April Delongpre, a 21-year-old Southern belle (and senator's daughter) who has been pushed into in an engagement to a guy named Chad Douglas Fairchild, who is just as Chad Douglas Fairchild-y as the name implies. April ends up falling for the least Chad Douglas Fairchild-y guy in town—a carnival worker/drifter named Perry. Sexiness ensues.
Love Camp (also known as Die Todesgöttin des Liebescamps ) is a 1981, West German softcore rock musical—aka everything you never realized you wanted a porn movie to be. The movie stars sex symbol Laura Gemser and is all about free love nad sexual liberation.
This 2014 erotic drama (which is loosely based on the 1956 Japanese novel of the same name) stars David Arquette and Bai Ling and tells the story of a married couple who begin keeping sex diaries to document their love life.
If you're interested in one of the more modern offerings in the softcore genre, 2018's Touch Me Not is a great option. The movie is part documentary, part fiction and follows a filmmaker (Adina Pintilie) as she engages with a group of character for a personal research project about intimacy.
If you like your softcore jollies with a heavy dose of camp, then 2010's Bikini Jones and the Temple of Eros (represented here with its foreign release DVD cover because the art is so much better than the English cover art) is for you . The plot revolves around Dr. Bikini Jones (played by Christine Nguyen), an archaeologist in the tradition of Indiana Jones, of course), who steals a golden idol that happens to be the key to the Temple of Eros. Bikini Jones faces off against her arch nemesis, the appropriately-named Evilla Cruella, for control of a magic Tiara that makes its wearer the supreme ruler of the country Moronica. No. Joke.
The Emmanuelle movies are a series of French softcore porn films that follow a woman who wants to amp up her sex life. The original (also called Emmanuelle ), which debuted in 1974, was actually the first X-rated movie distributed in the USA (shout out to Columbia Pictures). It should be noted that. like many films made in the '70s, there's a lot that's iffy about this series—which has led to plenty of feminist discourse about whether Emmanuelle is a victim who's being exploited, or a woman owning her sexuality.
No softcore porn is more classic than Red Shoe Diaries , a Showtime series (yes, okay, this is a TV show, not a movie) about various women's sexual exploits—narrated by none other than X-Files star David Duchovny. The episodes are equal parts hilarious, iconic, and sexy.
1975's Emilienne is a French erotic film about a thrupple. Long story short: A man having an affair won't leave his wife for his mistress. The good news? The mistress and wife fall for each other and everyone enjoys a ménage à trois.
Winner of "Most Sensual Softcore" at the Feminist Porn Awards, this film features eight men, each of whom represents a different sexual fantasy. The Feminist Porn Awards describe Man of My Dreams as a "Choose Your Own Sexual Adventure," featuring appearances from porn tropes, like the sexy fireman, the sexy handyman, and the sexy masseur. Take your pick.
Nothing like some late '90s softcore porn, right? Eyes of Desire is about a photographer who explores some casual sexual taboos whilst staying in a "hillside mansion."
Sex positive erotic film company JoyBear gifted everyone The Pleasure Professionals in 2013, and it's so good that it won the Feminist Porn Awards' Most Sensual Softcore Movie (opens in new tab) that year. The film centers around "Executive Relief Consultants," which—as you may have guessed—is a special service for businessmen and women hoping to improve things in the bedroom.
Eros isn't *necessarily* a softcore movie, but there's definitely a lot of softcore sex. The 2004 antho
