DISTRIBPIX, one of the legendary names in the genre (and whose extensive library will be the backbone of this line), will offer single, double, and even triple feature Blu-rays highlighting works from every corner and crevice of softcore smut, from the dawn of nudie cuties to the all-but-hard 70s, with plentiful lost and never on disc films along the way.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transitional era of the early 1970s was a trying time for the makers of softcore features, as hardcore slowly overtook the decade-long demand for every flavor of sexploitation. Although soft-X material did remain moderately bankable, many of these efforts appeared overly tame for their day and vanished as quickly as they were produced, all too often becoming forgotten, abandoned, or otherwise lost to time. Presented here are three very distinct, striking examples of long-believed lost sexploitation cinema, all produced in New York in the early '70s, and at last resurrected and restored in 4K for their home video debuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn SIDEWALK COWBOY (1970), a wayward young man enters a spiral of sexual confusion and misfortune as he's abused, debased, molested, and taken advantage of by man and woman alike in this bent riff on \u003cem\u003eMidnight Cowboy\u003c\/em\u003e.
