No bare breasts or genitals. Male buttocks briefly seen when male character flips over in bed to talk to Miss Pettigrew. The heroine is shown covered with bubbles and flirtatious in a bubble bath with another woman and then covering herself with a towel. She then walks to her bed holding the towel to only cover her front, so she flashes her buttocks from the side. One man is seen naked by Miss Pettigrew (but not by us) and makes a veiled joke about having an erection. ("getting up" vis-a-vis "waking up")
The setting is sex farce: a young woman who is sleeping with three different men: two of them for financial advantage and one for love. She has to juggle them. The sex is frequently discussed, although not graphically; no sex shown. The heroine fights off sexual advances, including a fairly long scene where she is wearing nothing but a bathrobe and the man is naked under the sheets. The kissing scenes are sexy. No fondling or grinding, but one lover grabs the woman's bottom briefly while they embrace. The heroine frequently wiggles to display her figure provocatively. Women using sex to get parts in a play or to be kept by a man they don't love is presented as acceptable, although not desirable.
