  • A boy and girl are dancing in their underwear. They kiss several times, including French kissing. They embrace, the girl noting that the boy has an erection. This scene is shown only from the waist up, thus it is not seen. She tells him that he can feel her chest. He puts a hand on one of her breasts (over her bra). She says that she thinks they will grow more, and then he puts his other hand on her other breast. This scene lasts for one and a half minutes.
