Sex & Nudity

  • Man runs his finger down the butt crack of the waitress standing next to him. He then runs his hand up under her skirt, while the woman's husband, the restaurant cook, is watching them. He calls her a "dirty bitch," and they set up their next rendezvous. The waitress stands absolutely still for quite a while until she walks away. The camera view is of their faces, but the implication is the man is touching her the whole time.
  • A man and woman are alone in a hotel room together. She turns on the TV to relax him, but all the channels are pornography. Nudity and loud moaning occur.
  • A man has sex from behind with a woman washing dishes at the sink. The man makes facial expressions, but the woman simply stares at her TV show. No nudity is shown.
  • Nude woman and nude man, dressed only in knee-high white socks with a pillow covering his crotch, sit on a couch, the man complaining about his inability to obtain an erection. She suggests Viagra but he vehemently refuses. Nudity includes female breasts but no male nudity. This scenario recurs on their next meeting, this time his pants are around his ankles as he sits.
