Semi-softcore edits are pretty great addition for softcore enthusiasts who also like to see a little extra peek here and there.
The "semi-" here is that you'll see all genitals, including full erections to make it balanced against the open pussy shots. However edits have been to the original videos to avoid explicit penetration. (Though there is a wide range of how steadfast that is adhered to. There is no oversight, because they're not going on TV. Sometimes you'll see penis + ejaculation, other times cum landing on tits or face.
With classic softcore often the scene is filmed with simulated sex. Since it was never hardcore you get these odd rhythmic blowjob or fucking actions which are not at all realistic. Like the soap opera of pornography.
The hardcore to softcore edits give you the real actions, unsimulated, but in a less graphic representation, allowing more fantasy and imagination to be engaged.
