softcore pornography

Sultana by Henry Clive. The engraving shows depiction of a woman dressed in a transparent cloth featuring nudity, as is common in softcore pornography.

Softcore pornography or softcore porn is commercial still photography, film, imagery, text or audio content that has a pornographic or erotic component but which is less sexually explicit than hardcore pornography, lacking sexual penetration and other sexual activities. It typically contains nude or semi-nude models or actors in suggestive poses or scenes, and is intended to be sexually arousing and beautiful in an aesthetic sense.
