There are many references to and descriptions of people having sex: a presumably homosexual man says to another man, "I can take care of you." Women talk about men in several scenes one describes how a man dropped his pants and she made a remark about his endowment, a woman does a few hip thrusts while talking about "getting under a new man," a woman says "I can't keep my legs together" when she sees an attractive man, a man makes a remark to a woman that he'll do anything to her body that she wants him to, a woman says that dipping while dancing is considered foreplay, and a woman tries to flirt with a man but is rebuffed. Four women dance to a song: one woman walks in on a man using the toilet (we see him sitting with his pants around his ankles), another woman comes up behind a man and hugs him, and two other women dance in front of mirrors. Men and women dance on what looks like a TV stage during the opening credits, and they hug and sway. Men and women dance with wiggles and hip thrusts in a few scenes, a woman dances and thrusts her hips. A man takes off his pants and we see him in his underwear. A woman in a short slip stands in front of a mirror (we see cleavage and bare thighs). Women wear outfits throughout the movie that reveal cleavage, bare abdomens, bare shoulders, bare thighs and bare backs. Two women begin to argue over a man and end up leaving together with the man (there is an insinuation that sex has occurred). A man imagines himself standing nude (from the hips down he's blocked by a counter) and we see his bare chest and a bit below his belly button. A man holds a woman from behind when showing her how to play pool, a man admires a woman and his wife threatens to slap him, and a man and a woman dance close including a dip. A man chases a woman around a bedroom asking for sex. A man and a woman kiss romantically several times in several scenes, a man kisses a woman on the cheek, a man kisses a woman's hand, and a man and a woman snuggle in bed together a few times. A man massages a woman's foot, then kisses and licks her toes. A man and a woman kiss passionately and the woman begins to remove her dress but the man stops her. A man and a woman kiss, they lie back on a bed, the woman removes her top (we see her in a bra and shorts) and they continue kissing until they are interrupted.
