Positive Messages
A double standard condemns women who are paid to have sex but allows the men who pay for the sex to be viewed as upstanding members of the community.
Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
A thug pulls a gun on the boys and tries to take their money but is thwarted. A pimp speaks harshly to his prostitutes and pushes them around. A killer in a car chases the boys who dangerously drive a car through town. The car eventually explodes, but no one is injured. A pimp betrays his partner, and his heart is cut out of his chest in retaliation.
Sex
Three 12-year-old boys leave the suburbs and head for the city on a quest to pay a woman to let them see her naked. They encounter a kind prostitute named V who obliges them. First she asks the boys to raise their shirts so she can examine them. "You're not hairy enough to be dangerous," she observes. A 12-year-old explains that diaphragms "prevent the passage of sperm into the uterus." A father tells his son that it is probably not advisable to have a baby with someone you don't know. The boy asks a prostitute, his new friend, if it's true that you can touch women in a certain place and it drives them crazy. She says, "I wouldn't count on it." The boy asks, if you kiss a girl, what base is that? Another comments, "If I had my own naked lady, I'd never leave my room." The boys watch a few minutes of a pornographic movie but can't figure out what’s going on. A prostitute wears a tight, short, low-cut dress, exposing plenty of décolletage.
