The term Realcore is derived from the two general expressions used to classify pornography. Softcore is fully simulated sex; in Hardcore porno, actors perform sex for a photoshoot or a movie, using all the props of professional productions: lights, backdrops, make up, editing, special effects, etc. Digital amateur pornography instead seems to be concerned with reality: pictures of real people with real desires, having real sex in real places. This is why I call it Realcore.
Realcore is deeply connected to the web; it began to happen in the late 90s, when two tools became available: digital cameras, that enabled people to take pictures without developing and printing, and free web spaces (such as the Usenet Newsgroups and later Yahoo! and MSN groups) that, at the time, allowed to publish them and to create free special interest sex groups. Then, apparently, porno accounted for 80% of all web traffic and it was mostly made of scans of magazines. But this material was very boring and repetitive (as is most Hardcore), and it covered only a small spectrum of human sexuality: the so called norm. Realcore filled the gap(s).
