Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive, moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).
Sincerely, Karene.
"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce." (Voltaire) - "Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)

What is Softcore Pornography?
Softcore is a form of pornography, that depicts sexual behaviour in a less explicit way than hardcore porn. This may be in the medium of cinema or video, photography, magazines and advertising. When we generally think of pornography, it is the hardcore version which usually springs to mind. Softcore is though recognised as a genre of pornography and we can recognise it's pervasiveness in mainstream western society. Sex sells.
Softcore may range from partial nudity to simulated intercourse. While both softcore and hardcore try to intentionally arouse the audience, the main difference is that softcore does not clearly show aroused genitalia, ejaculation or penetration. (based upon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softcore)

Soft in the Middle: A Book on Softcore Pornography as a Genre, Feminism & Culture
From the website: 'Soft in the Middle positions the contemporary softcore feature as a middlebrow form of pornography.
Soft in the Middle demonstrates that softcore's under-the-radar success may be understood in terms of the postfeminist strategies employed by successive generations of producers and distributors, each intent on overcoming obstacles to the mainstream distribution of pornographic material.
Softcore and its American precursors became more 'feminized' and 'female friendly' as their distribution widened, a process hastened in the 1980s by the industry's transition to private modes of distribution and exhibition. This genre challenges traditional assumptions about pornography, including those held by feminists on both sides of the porn debates.
This book examines the softcore's history, the genre's formal and ideological conventions, surveying its most exemplary subgenres, styles, and motifs - and lavishing particular attention on its most influential studios, directors, and texts.'
Analyse any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established; the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable. ... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)
