Sexploitation (sex-production / sex-exploitation) is a cinematic genre in the category of operational cinema . The films of this genre exploit and cover various aspects of human sexuality .
Genre Features
The features of the described direction in cinema, in fact, are contained in the set (if not most) of the operational films of other genres nunsploitation , nazi-exploitation and women in prison . Nevertheless, the genre of Sexploitation is usually singled out separately.
The main difference between sexploitation films and erotic films is that the demonstration of a naked female body here is more likely, after all, a means, not an end. But in any case, sexploitation films always use sexual themes, often balancing on the verge of kitsch , in order to attract the attention of viewers. The budget for films of this genre is usually small.
One way or another, the emphasis on sexual themes is present in many (if not most) exploitative films. The conditional division of the operational film into certain genres is determined by the semantic dominant of each individual operational film.
If only a sexual theme is present in an exploitation film (only numerous aspects of human sexuality are covered), then such a film is a vivid representative of the sex space genre. In the case where the production film contains not only sexual motives, but also scenes that touch on topics covered in the films nunsploitation , nazi-exploitation / ssploitation and women in prison , this film belongs to the genre that dominates the film. For example, if a Nazi ideology is particularly accentuated in an explicitly sexually oriented exploitation film, with hypertrophied attention to attributes, uniforms, culture, etc. of the Third Reich , then such a film is representative of the nazi-exploitation genre. If only an explicitly sexual orientation dominates the production film, without attention to other genres of the exploitation film, then such a film is representative of the sexploitation genre.
