Sex & Nudity

moderate

A young woman, takes a hot bath but there's no nudity. At 39 minutes 32 seconds, there's porn naked (poster size) photos on wall. This scene leads up to two people gonna have sex. At 56 minutes 4 seconds, a man and woman kiss and end up on a motel bed. He is on top of her, they continue to kiss, fully dressed and they stop. She says let's continue to hold each other. She kind of makes a sound and nothing else happens. At 1 hour 13 minutes 17-18 seconds, Norman sees a naked woman poster. It shows for 11 seconds. 1 hour 14 minutes 1 second, there naked photos on a motel room wall, showing at a distance, so not so visible where you can make out clearly, for about 11 seconds, in the background. Over the top nudity in this movie. At 1 hour 16 minutes 17-18 seconds, more porn photos of women (one visible woman is topless). Shown for about 2 seconds. At 7 minutes 31 seconds, a man (Jeff F) starts acting perverse and attempts to molest a woman while she is sleeping. Ends at 8 minutes 48 seconds. At 30 minutes into the movie, a man spies on a woman undressing through a peephole, her backside butt is shown. At 40 minutes 13 seconds, a man and a woman are about to have sex, bare breasts and butt are shown. We see the woman nude after they have sex. Ends 42 minutes 29 seconds, after she gets dressed. At 43 minutes 11 seconds, a woman takes off her shirt because it is inside out. Bare breasts are shown until about 43 minutes 23 seconds. From there it's difficult to see if there's anymore breast nudity. Total scene ends at 43 minutes 46 seconds. At 29 minutes 37 seconds, there's a painting on the wall of a naked (full frontal) woman. 1 hour 1 minute 44 seconds, a woman pulls her shorts down and sits on a toilet, we see part of her bare butt.
