SEX/NUDITY 8 - We see a montage of a man and a woman having sex and it appears as though the man is raping the woman, but occasionally the woman appears willing and interested; we see the man and the woman in multiple positions, including the man forcefully turning the woman over (we see his bare buttocks) and the man is seen with his hand and face in the woman's skirt.
► In a room with three men, a young man and a woman, one of the men crudely instructs the woman to open her legs and we see her opaque tights as the man instructs her to rip them open; the woman rubs her hands over her underwear and she moans sexually, the man instructs the woman to open her mouth and implies that she had sent him crude letters describing oral sex and the man and the woman appear to climax without touching themselves or others (we see a wet stain on the man's crotch and a second man watching the performance grabs his crotch, implying that he was also sexually aroused).
► We see the bare buttocks of a man while he is hog tied with his hands and legs tied behind his back and he is lying on a sheet of plastic with another man watching him; another man (we briefly see his bare buttocks) wearing boxer-style underwear leaves the room, we see that the man's face is beaten to a bloody pulp (please see the Violence/Gore category for more details) and it is implied that the man had been raped and we later learn this as fact when a young man confirms to a woman that his older brother had been violently raped.
► We see a man's bare back and a portion of his chest as it is implied he is having sex with a woman in the back seat of a car (we do not see the woman but we hear sexual moaning).

► A woman tells a young man using crude terms that she is sexually aroused when thinking about a man and knows that the man is equally sexually aroused by the thought of her; we hear the woman moaning sexually as she gasps (her hands are visible, and it is implied that she is feeling sexually gratified by the thought of the man).
