An adult man and woman are shown having coital sex; this is a rapidly shifting and interrupted sequence in which only brief views of butts or sides or breasts are poorly visible. In a separate scene, a woman and man who are dating decide to have sex and are shown waking up in bed together; no nudity.
With his mother in the shower (foggy rear view) and his father shaving, a younger Jamie is shown on the toilet, and the camera switches to Jamie's point of view looking at his legs and visible genitals. The latter view is repeated later.
Jamie is seen listening to his parents having sex, mostly just a few moans.
A teen girl and Jamie talk themselves into making out. While she's fully clothed, we see him place his hand over her breast for a moment and discuss its reaction. They undress; we see her breasts and his chest, and their legs. Other than his hand on her stomach, and them hugging, no actual contact is seen. Simulated contact (out of frame, or shot from behind, etc.), he kisses her breast and her pubic area. Shown only from above the waist, they either dry-hump or engage in coitus for a few moments, then he runs away; it's implied he is unable either to achieve or to maintain arousal.
