A man gets into the shower with his wife (they can only be seen from the shoulders up) and they kiss; sex is implied.

A teacher reads his female student's poetry, in which she describes herself as a phone sex worker. One poem graphically describes sexual abuse by a father figure; another begins to describe an encounter with a client before abruptly cutting off (twice). He discusses the student with one of his colleagues, who says the student implied the poetry was based on true events (this is left ambiguous).

In several scenes a teacher reads his female student's novel in progress, which is about a female student having an affair with an older teacher. Each time he reads a passage we are shown an imagined scene where he envisions himself as the teacher and she as the student. He caresses her from behind and they passionately kiss; he presses her against a wall and we see his partially-covered butt as he thrusts into her (her face contorts in pain and it is implied it is her first time).

A young woman implies that her father committed suicide out of guilt for sexually abusing her (this is later revealed to be questionable or even untrue).

A man is made uncomfortable when discussing his father who, it is said, set himself on fire as a form of protest.
