A woman's bare breasts are seen for a very brief moment while she is pulling a shirt down over her head. A Marine sticks his tongue out between two of his fingers. He gestures it towards an Arabic woman. Strong talk of masturbation. A man does a dance during a party naked except for a Santa hat over his genitals. His buttocks are shown in extended shots. |
