   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."

B. Gold fillings and bridges.
C. Free blood.
D. A constantly changing array of new friends who aren't at all stuffy
   about what happens to their genitalia.
