    Could someone please post rules regarding what is "explicit" and what is not? It has become ridiculous here, as almost every post is now posted as "explicit" by the posters. What's next - perhaps Bambi can be described as "explicit" because the deer isn't wearing clothes? Or Snow White, because a young woman is living with seven men? Softcore doesn't make a clip explicit, nor does nudity.
    The definition of explicit is "graphic, leaving nothing implied". An R-rated movie is not explicit, an X-rated movie is considered explicit.

    By my definition "explicit" means actual and graphic penetration - whether it be penis in vagina, mouth or anus, or wide open penetration of a vagina with an object. A woman sucking on a dildo is not "explicit" by this definition.

    I wanted to ask that very thing, but didn't because I have not been a member here for very long.

    on a side note, there are like 6 different threads suggesting something about actual celebrities and them "going hardcore" or "sex tapes" or "sex scenes in mainstream"... and yet it's never the case... it's either softcore porn stars or scenes with very little sex from a mainstream tv show or something else...

    we could either delete a few of them or make it clear we are talking about the very rare case where a legit celebrity actually gets caught in the act or a sex tape gets leaked

    Or at least you have to make a punishment for misleading titles and while we are at it lets get this straight

    EXPLICIT
    dick in any hole

    NOT EXPLICIT
    everything else

    So glad to hear others are bothered by this too. I've tried to ask posters to change what they do at times, and asked Mods to do something about it. But it seems like it's acceptable to them. All I can suggest is PM a mod when you see someone abusing it with their posts. The mods seem to notice a lot less than the download users do, so it is kind of on us to alert them to things being done wrong.

    explicit is anal, vaginal or mouth penetration

    posters have no incentive to enhance their titles so they should be disciplined to the highest degree

    only way to stop is to temp ban

    Well, what's in a word? According to Merriam-Webster:

    explicit, adj: very clear and complete, leaving no doubt about the meaning; showing or referring very openly to nudity, violence, or sexual activity

    If you're looking for hardcore sex in the Celebrity Movie Forum, you're in the wrong section. That's what Sexy Videos is for. The term "explicit" as used in CMF, in my experience, is generally used when a scene from a film exceeds your standard topless scene, and seems appropriate when used to describe a softcore porn clip or other similarly "explicit" portrayals of sexual activity. "Explicit" in and of itself does not lend itself solely to sexual penetration any more than the term "explicit language" requires the use of the word motherfucker or perhaps racial epithets. For me, "graphic" represents a greater degree of representation than explicit, e.g., graphic violence, graphic sexual content. And graphic sexual content is what you'll find in our hardcore video forums.

    I think you're playing with semantics. Explicit in this context in American culture means non-porn actresses showing real penetration scenes, hence the reason for the amount of people claiming the title is misleading if the word "explicit" is used and there is no demonstrated penetration.

    The hardcore video forum is for hardcore porn, not mainstream movies with actual sex scenes, which I believe does belong in the celebrity movies section. :2cent:

    I am an American. The expectation of seeing non-porn actresses involved in "explicit" penetration scenes in mainstream movies is a high expectation indeed, since such scenes are so rare, at least in films produced in the USA. There's not a lot of NC17 films out there that can be considered mainstream anyway. Regardless, the notion that we should regulate hyperbole is a bit much, no? If a thread title is intentionally misleading (saying Topless when in fact it should read Topless (covered) for example). However, use of the term explicit doesn't fall into that category, unless the title reads Explicit Penetration, but then in truth the content fails to deliver what is promised. That would be a violation of the rules, and something concrete we can address.

    So let me put it this way then: We're not interested in starting a glossary of specific definitions for commonly used words, terms and phrases as a result of people making assumptions about word usage and whether or not their expectations were met as a result. While we all feel hyperbole should be kept to a minimum, we're not expressly against it's use. It's kind of like marketing in that respect. Caveat emptor.

    There is a fakeray of the Castle cast that includes Molly Quinn... Need to verify her age at the time of the photo shoot. I have concerns that she might be on the risky side of 18 years. Thus is the reason I avoided doing one of her.
