A man is seen lying in bed naked but seen waist up under the covers.
Some kissing.
There is a scene with a strip tease. A woman's back is shown and she does unclip her bra, but no breasts are shown.
Implied throughout is the fact that both main characters use their sexuality as a source of income. In Holly's case, she is a glamorous escort, though there is never a mention of her actually having sex with any of her customers (whom she calls "rats" and "super rats"). Paul is the "kept" sexual companion to a wealthy woman. There is some kissing; some scenes in which characters are shown in bed. A nightclub striptease is seen in its initial stages, revealing the stripper's bare back. She undresses down to her waist but has on a bra. She then turns toward the audience, begins to unfasten the bra front, and the camera moves away at the last minute.
