Magic Mike’s Last Dance SEX/NUDITY 7

 – In an extended erotic dance sequence a man stands in front of a woman seated in a chair, he raises his shirt and places her hand on his bare abdomen (we see his bare abdomen) and performs an erotic dance: he thrusts against her lap, moves his head along her abdomen and between her legs, he removes his shirt (we see his bare chest, abdomen and back), he removes her draped top (we see her bare shoulders and cleavage) and he moves his face against her cleavage; they then move closer to each other as if to kiss but do not appear to kiss, he lifts her up with her legs wrapped over his shoulders and his face between her legs, he presses her against a window where she holds herself off the floor, he lays her on a table and thrusts on top of her several times, as she pulls his pants off as he swings from a pole and we see him wearing boxer briefs; she ties a scarf over his eyes and he continues to dance and thrust against her and the scene ends with the two lying in bed together (sex is implied) and we see their bare backs and shoulders as he kisses her back.
► A man and a woman perform a dance sequence on stage and the woman wears a short sheer dress that reveals cleavage, bare legs and partial buttocks, as they dance with erotic movements, hugging and caressing each other; the woman removes the man’s shirt, they continue to dance, he lifts her up with his face between her legs, they lie on the stage and thrust on top of each other, she removes her dress and we see her wearing a bra and underwear (we see cleavage, bare shoulders, abdomen, back, legs and buttocks).
► A man and a woman kiss passionately a couple of times. A man and a woman kiss passionately, he pulls away and she becomes upset, covering his mouth with her hand when he tries to explain. A man and a woman hug tenderly. A man kisses another man on the cheek in gratitude. A man and woman kiss in a car and she puts her hand in his shirt (we see his partial bare chest) and the scene ends.
► Three men in a theater performance dance around three women (they are audience members) seated on chairs on a stage; they thrust toward the women, caress their hair and move close to their faces as if to kiss them, they move their heads into the women’s laps, and they pick them up and place them on the stage where they thrust on top of them. A brief scene shows a man wearing a police uniform and performing a suggestive dance for a woman seated in a chair; we see the man thrusting against her. Several scenes show several men dancing seductively around and for a man and a woman during auditions for a show (most include thrusting toward and against the woman, caressing her hair, and the dancers removing their shirts to reveal bare chests, abdomens and backs). Several men on a bus dance for and around a woman; one man throws her a kiss, another winks at her and another man is dressed as a swan and dances toward her as she smiles. An extended dance sequence shows many men on stage dancing suggestively with thrusts, gyrations and they are shirtless most of the time (we see bare chests, abdomens and backs).
► A woman asks a man to perform a dance for her and offers him a large sum of money; she tells him, “No happy endings,” the man tells her, “…if I ever take you past your comfort zone,” and she says that if he does she will slap him. A woman asks a man to go to London with her for one month and she will pay him $60,000. A woman tells a man that their arrangement will not include sex and the man says that he figured that when she said jump, and he’d say, which bed. A man’s nickname is “Big Richie” and we see it accompanied by an eggplant emoji on another man’s cell phone screen. People talk about the theme of a play being whether a woman will marry for love or money and that the idea is outdated. A teen girl asks her mother, “Are you hooking up?” about her mother and a younger man staying in their house. A theatrical production is described as being “stripped down, oiled and spanked.” A woman says, “There’s nothing sexier than a body in motion.” A woman tells a man that she is free and broke and he walks away implying that he is no longer interested in her (he rushes back to kiss her, laughing).
► We see a shirtless man (his bare shoulders and chest are seen) on a computer screen during a video chat. A woman’s dress reveals her bare back and shoulders. A woman’s dresses and tops reveal cleavage in several scenes.
