There is no sex or nudity. There is some strong discussion of the morality of prostitution and pornography. In one scene, the owner of a legal Nevada brothel tells the teenagers that prostitution and pornography fulfill God's will to "go forth and multiply."
There are some non-explicit scenes involving a prostitute; however, she states that if she sleeps with him because he is 16 she'd be committing statutory rape. He returns to her apartment for shelter and in his negotiation he asks not for sex but "No friends. Something good to eat, a good night's sleep, coffee and cable news in the morning." There is nothing to tell the viewer whether or not there was any sex.
In the bookstore, an individual is reading a magazine called "Virgin Vagina" to cover up the fact he is reading an anti-fascism book. Behind the individual are covered books that say "21 and over."
There is one scene with a teenage boy and a girl kissing. Another scene shows the teenage girl is wearing a two piece swimsuit and it is implied that the boy is staring at her body.
A couple of scenes show women wearing clothing that exposes cleavage and legs.
