As a teenager of popped my porn cherry on Les Nuits Bleu. Les Nuit Bleu was weekly program on french television in Canada (Les Quebecois are much more sexually liberal) that featured a soft core movie every Friday night. Each movie was well made, plot driven and definitely on the soft end of porn. There was full nudity and simulated sex scenes, but penises were rare and penetration non-existent.
There are many things I liked about this: it is a tease and titilating; the stories were half-way entertaining; the actors were gorgeous and could kind of deliver lines; the sex scenes did not do on forever. I am sure it was not nearly as cheap to make as current gonzo porn, but neither was it high budget production. For me, as a late teen, it was like finding an old box of Playboy magazines. There was something about only getting it once a week and not going all the way to full sex that made it very appealing.
For my wife and I, it was great foreplay, as we were just getting comfortable sharing sexual desires with each other and were starting to open up about the fact that you can be with someone and still find others sexy..
I am no prude. I don’t think all porn has to be soft, but I like having the option. I wonder where all the good soft porn has gone.
