Pink Film

A Pink film is a Japanese softcore film which frequently shows Shibari and Kinbaku. Production of pink films began after World War II and reached their peak in the 70s. They are not pornographic because Japanese regulations forbid to show genitalia on screen. Consequently, Pink films are a lot more playful and erotic, since they can’t be as obvious as their American counterparts. That is why Shibari and Kinbaku sometimes play such a prominent role in these kinds of movies.

The production of a pink films is usually very quick, with a very low budget. However, despite these limitations, some Pink films have acquired artistic status. Actually, some of them have gained recognition in cinema festivals around the world.

Pink films have always been countercultural, and that also distinguishes them from mainstream porn. Shibari, Kinbaku, and other BDSM practices feature frequently in these films, to the point that there is even a Pink film subgenre, which deals more strongly with erotic violence.

Pink films used to be exotic articles. However, with the development of communication technologies and the expansion of the Internet, they are now widely available for the public. So, whenever you want, you can appreciate the stylistic refinement of some of these movies.

Over the years, Pink films have included horror and gay erotica, just to name a few of the subgenres it has expanded into. Several generations of directors and performers are now part of the tradition of Pink.

Since kink is all about exploring new expressions, it would not be a bad idea to have your own private Pink film festival at home, especially if you can share it with someone who is also interested in different ways of kink. It can be a very rewarding experience, both culturally and sensually. It is up to you.
