- Really depends on what you call "soft core" porn, who publishes it,
- and how well it takes off. Some romances are relatively soft-core
- erotica, and they pay an average of $3500.00 pers, after royalties,
- which could take up to two years to finalize. Plain 'ol porn pays very
- poorly, unless you're Anne Rice, in which case it pays very very well.
-
- Basically, there's no way to put a price tag on "soft core porn."
