Nudity and sex in each episode. Many views, often lengthy, of breasts. A few shorter views of full frontal female nudity. For males, toplessness and butts only. Sex scenes are occasionally very dynamic with vigorously bouncing breasts or thrusting butts.
Prostitution is depicted frequently by women soliciting men who visit a garden for that purpose. That economic plights and a patriarchal social structure are causing so many women to go into prostitution is discussed more than once. Infidelity also plays a major role in various plot threads.
