SEX/NUDITY 5 - In a brief scene a husband and wife lie in bed together; the man begins to kiss the woman, she pulls down one strap of her nightgown exposing her bare breast and nipple, and the man kisses her breast, they kiss some more and both moan. During a session with his therapist a man confesses his fear that he will "rape a child," and a man talks about his obsession with sex with anyone other than his wife: he talks about going to porn movies, masturbating, performing oral sex on another man, and having sex with a prostitute. A young man tries to kiss a young woman but she refuses.

We see a body lying in a coffin and watch as it is closed up and sealed. Several young people ride mopeds; they kick at each other and pull on each other's sleeves, which causes them to swerve. A man breaks a teapot by pulling the handle off in a rage. We hear about someone having gotten trapped in an underwater cave and someone having bloody and torn fingers and hands. A man and woman argue.
