Sex scenes

We see characters drinking and making out at a graduation party. The characters make out and take off their tops (she keeps her bra on) as things get more passionate.

The second episode starts out with characters having sex. We see a couple naked in bed. She jumps on top of him and we see a brief glimpse of her bare breasts. Another couple is clothed in the back of a van and through the discussion and movement he is clearly stimulating her to orgasm.

Offensive language

The “f” word is used occasionally for emphasis in conversation including “f*ck” “f*cking” “f*ck off”.
