Director/actor Melvin Van Peebles appears in several real (unsimulated) sex scenes, but genital contact is never seen, nor erections except for one prosthetic strap-on.
A 13 year old boy, played by Peebles' son Mario, makes love with a hooker. This scene runs 3 1/2 minutes.The boy is shown nude primarily from the rear, much of this time on top of the woman. Split-second views of male frontal nudity occurs a couple of times.The hooker is shown fully nude, front and back, but her pubic hair is visible only briefly.
Four sex scenes include full frontal female nudity, and two include frontal male nudity lasting several seconds. The others almost always include side nudity by both men and women.
One of the scenes is a sex show between two women, one with a strap-on. Then (with close-up on the crotch) the strap-on is partially removed revealing a (flaccid) penis inside it to imply that the performer was a man, a ruse made possible by switching the performers in a darkened room.
Two of the scenes involve a black man and white woman. This is important because race figures prominently in the film.
