Sex & Nudity

  • A woman asks a man if he wants to smell her "punani". When he says yes, she asks a woman friend to approach, who then blows air into his face, insinuating that she'd performed cunnilingus on the first woman.
  • A man & woman kiss sensually, the woman unbuttons her shirt (she is wearing a bra) & the camera focuses on her cleavage for a few seconds. The scene is then quickly interrupted.
  • A woman is seen laying in bed in a bra.
  • Sexual relationships are described fairly graphically and crudely.
  • In one scene a woman prostitutes herself from her apartment. This becomes apparent when she is walked in on in her bedroom. There is no nudity, but a brief shot of the man and woman indicates sexual activity.
  • A man and woman have brief sexual intercourse while clothed. She is seen on top of the man moving her hips around as the man groans slightly. The intercourse lasts around 30 seconds until the man climaxes, this is discussed afterward. This scene is more humorous than anything, only the woman's thighs are seen.
