Premium-cable TV networks such as HBO, Showtime and Cinemax - the channel nicknamed “Skin-emax” for its preponderance of sexy programming - continue to fill their late-night schedules with low-budget, nudity-filled films, and the adoption of video-on-demand and pay-per-view services has given soft-core content wider play. The oft-mocked genre, which has given the world such memorable fare as “Witches of Breastwick” and “Tarzeena: Jiggle in the Jungle,” is more visible - and valuable - than ever, even at a time when hard-core adult entertainment is easily accessible on every media device. Say hello to Hollywood’s most stable business: Soft-core pornography. There’s one sector of the entertainment industry that has not been roiled by the Internet, the economy or ever-changing consumer tastes.
