A woman's bare breasts are seen for an extended period of time; first changing, and then post coital. We briefly see her pubic hair during the former and we see her bare buttocks during the latter.
A drawing of a totally naked woman is shown in the entrance of a strip club. It is a draw and it isn't too explicit, it only appears for some seconds and it is very easy to miss.
One sex scene which includes female breast nudity and very brief shots including visible pubic areas. A scene takes place in a strip club in which we can see strippers dancing suggestively, whilst they're not totally nude it doesn't leave much to the imagination.
A few shots of topless dancers with pasties and very revealing underwear during a scene at a club.
