skin flick meaning - English dictionary

Noun: A pornographic movie; a film whose primary purpose is to depict explicit sexual activity.

This term is a slang, informal, and often derogatory noun used to refer to a film in the pornography genre. It is considered vulgar and is not appropriate for formal or polite conversation.

The term is typically used as a countable noun ("a skin flick," "several skin flicks"). Its usage implies a focus on the explicit visual content rather than any narrative or artistic merit.

The term specifically denotes a movie or film. It is not used for other forms of pornography (e.g., photographs, literature). The word "flick" is old-fashioned slang for "movie." The phrase carries a connotation of being cheaply made, exploitative, or lacking in quality.
