A girl makes a reference to her best friend giving her brother a handjob, and then asks her best friend what she would feel like if she gave her dad a handjob while miming the action. ("You gave my brother a handjob, you asshole. What would you feel like if I gave your dad a handjob? Oh, Roderick, look at that nice belt phone.") Meant to be humorous.
A girl accidentally sends a message to a boy that has explicit sexual references such as her wanting him inside her, and him sucking her boobs.
A girl and a boy are swimming in the boy's pool, and she asks him if he wants to have sex with her. She says that she's kidding and the boy gets upset.
A girls asks a boy if he is good at oral sex. He replies with, "Well, you can found out tonight. What time should we (F-word deleted)" The girl walks away.
A girl rings her brother and says, "Mom's f***ing a dentist in a foreign country. Imagine mom's titties all up in that dentist's face!" He is disgusted.
While in the shower, a girl picks up a razor and looks down, implying that she is going to shave off her pubic hair. No nudity. In the same montage, there's a little gag, where the girl is putting on perfume and puts a little under her dress. She itches in pain but is meant to be funny.
No nudity is shown. Most of the comments only implied very briefly and nothing sexual at all. All are mildly explicit. A bit of crude dialogue throughout.
A character walks in on a dressed couple in bed, we see the female in the bed have her hands under the covers with the blanket moving up and down, to imply the male is getting a handjob. They quickly stop after realizing there's someone who walked in on them. Very brief.
In a scene that lasts about a minute, a character and her classmate are seen kissing and starting to get intimate but she has doubts and backs out. No nudity.
A bit of crude dialogue throughout.
A girl and a boy, both minors, start kissing in a car. He begins to touch her, passing his hands against her clothed breasts. She is clearly uncomfortable. He then begins to pull down her panties and is about to finger her. She stops him and pushes him away (we see her underwear and her upper thights but no nudity is shown).
