Nurse Forsythe (Lynn Lowry) changes in front of a male remaining topless for about a minute.

Betts (Barbara Steele) takes a bath and while showing nothing, is implied a creature enters her through her genitals.

Betts begs Mrs. Tudor to make love to her before they engage in a female-female kiss.

The concierge lures a couple into a room full of males and females having a presumable orgy although only one female is topless. They sexually attack the couple.

Betts, Mrs. Tudor, and Nurse Forsythe are shown in a pool all wearing see-through wet clothing.

A fully nude female is seen jumping into a pool.

A bearded male offers another male the chance to make love to his daughter before she sits on his lap and kisses her.

The same bellhop later gets in an elevator with a mother and her young daughter (~6 years old). The mother exits the elevator in her undergarments on the bottom.

A male is seen sexually attacking a female on top a car with bra exposed.

Nurse Forsythe at one point tells the main character "Roger, I had a very disturbing dream last night. In this dream I found myself making love to a strange man. Only I'm having trouble you see, because he's old... and dying... and he smells bad, and I find him repulsive. But then he tells me that everything is erotic, that everything is sexual. You know what I mean? He tells me that even old flesh is erotic flesh. That disease is the love of two alien kinds of creatures for each other. That even dying is an act of eroticism. That talking is sexual. That breathing is sexual. That even to physically exist is sexual. And I believe him, and we make love beautifully."
