SEX/NUDITY 9 - During a movie shoot, a woman lies back on a sofa with her legs spread apart and making suggestive faces when a man removes his shirt and his pants (we see his bare chest, abdomen and buttocks) and the woman removes her top (we see her wearing a bra) and the man ejaculates twice (he screeches like a monkey and thrashes and we see semen on the ceiling and a window). During a movie shoot, a woman wearing a low-cut top and short skirt (cleavage and part of her bare buttocks are visible) talks suggestively to a man, she opens her top to reveal her bare breasts, the man screeches like a monkey, thrashes, and he ejaculates (we hear splattering sounds and we see semen on a woman's sweater and a man's shoe).
 A man sits in a beanbag chair, pulls down his pants (we see his bare knees and thighs) and we see his arm flailing violently while he masturbates and three other men in the same room cheer him on (one man sitting behind him also masturbates and we see movement in his pants pocket). During an audition a man drops his pants (we see his bare buttocks and legs) and masturbates in front of several people that yell and throw him out of the room (we see his arm and body moving rhythmically and we see him place his thumb between his bare buttocks). A man smears peanut butter on his genitals (we see his bare buttocks) and allows goats to lick the peanut butter off (we hear licking sounds and we see the man with a smile on his face).

During a pornographic movie, we see a woman smear butter on her cleavage, a man is shown lying on top of her, and they make suggestive remarks to each other while they presumably are having sex (we see the man's bare shoulders and the woman's bare shoulders).
 Two men dance suggestively around another man with hip thrusts and gesturing, and they press rubber penises against his face and mouth and he leaves. A mannequin moves and says, "Fart in my mouth" twice and then holds up two rubber penises as a man runs out of a store.
 We see many scantily clad women at a party hosted by a porn star; women are shown wearing outfits that reveal cleavage, bare abdomens, bare legs and backs while men wear tank tops and shirts unbuttoned and revealing bare chests. Many women wearing low-cut and short dresses (revealing cleavage, bare abdomens, legs and bare backs) are seen at an award ceremony.

A man in an adult movie store says, "I don't have kiddie porn." Three men tell another man that they are going to watch "nude movies." A man makes numerous advances to women usually while making reference to the size of his genitals and the pleasure he can give. A man repeatedly makes reference to the substantial size of his genitals. A man says another man is "hung like a ladybug." A man says, "I'm hung like a cocker spaniel."

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
