sexploitation
Titillating trash cinema
Sexploitation is the exploitation of sex or sexual content for commercial purposes, especially in film and media.
The term typically describes low-budget movies that use nudity and titillation as their primary selling point rather than artistic merit: a 1970s sexploitation film.
The word blends sex with exploitation, following the pattern of blaxploitation.
