SEX/NUDITY 5 - A young woman and a young man are
having sex when another young woman bursts into the room
interrupting them: we do hear rhythmic panting and moaning, see the
young man bare to the waist and the young woman covers herself with
a sheet. A young man and a young woman kiss and caress each other
and begin removing their clothing; we see him bare-chested, she
takes off her top and has a T-shirt underneath. A young woman lies
on a bed, a young man joins her, they kiss, he touches her abdomen
under her shirt, she climbs on top of him, she removes her top and
we see her in a bra and he takes off his shirt and we see him
bare-chested. Many people are shown kissing and holding each other
in a party scene. A man and a woman kiss in several scenes, and a
young man and a young woman kiss in many scenes. Also a young man
and a young woman flirt in several scenes. A young woman has a pair
of men's underwear around her neck (from a stripper at her
bachelorette party). A young woman stands on her head and her bare
abdomen shows when her top slips, she is also wearing shorts that
reveal her bare legs. A woman talks about her ex-husband not being
able to "keep his pants zipped," a young woman talks about her
mother sneaking out of the house to have sex with a man, and a young
woman talks about a young man and says "I like kissing him." There
are several discussions between young people about having sex and
what sex might mean to them (casual sex vs. love). A young woman
tests herself for pregnancy and two young women read about the
symptoms. A dog mounts a woman's leg and she talks about it later.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A young man collapses on a soccer
field and we hear that he died from a heart defect. A car swerves to
avoid an oncoming car and crashes into a tree: we see a young woman
unconscious in a hospital bed with a bruised face. We see people
grieving at a funeral. A man and a young man struggle over a
microphone and the man is shoved back into his chair. A young woman
goes into labor and we hear her moaning and see her doubled over in
pain. We hear about an elderly woman having fallen. A woman pounds
on a soda machine that took her money but did not give her a soda. A
young man and a young woman argue in a few scenes. We see urine in
many cups.
