Sex & Nudity

Mild
4 of 5 found this mild
A few sequences include clips from old films showing sex scenes: in one of them (no nudity), a man and a woman have intercourse in a car, and the female moans loudly. Shown for about 10 seconds.
In another old film clip, a man and woman are shown having sex on a bed. No visible nudity, as it is shown from a very far distance.
A photo montage includes a briefly-shown picture of a woman skinny-dipping in a pool, standing up and smiling at the camera. Her left breast can be seen.
References to sexual acts, like "[getting] laid" and "masturbation."
