Costello has a girlfriend who is probably 35-40 years younger than him. In a few scenes it is implied that they will have sex.
Early in the film Frank Costello calls a girl, presumably 14-16, behind the counter and asks her if she wants to have sex with him (the girl before on the counter is seen to be making eye contact with Frank) this is played as a joke.
Costello is heard masturbating in a theater. He then stands up and turns around to face another character, a penis is briefly shown on screen, though it is obviously fake and he was merely joking, not actually masturbating. Then Costello later talks about "not understanding how people masturbate in a theater." The act isn't shown and the scene is meant to be funny.
A man and a woman passionately kiss on a bed for around 20 seconds. He is clothed, she is wearing an unbuttoned shirt with a see through bra. She is in her underwear.
Many vulgar sexual references throughout
Most of the movies sexual content are crude sexual references and brief nudity in the cinema scene.
In the theater scene, the film playing is of women acting in sexual ways. No explicit nudity is seen, but the women are in quite revealing clothes. This entire scene is also difficult to skip through as it holds an important conversation in the movie, it is easy whoever to simply turn away and listen to it.
