-The sex scenes are not overly detailed but there are some references.
-A lot of casual and irresponsible drinking on the main character's part.
-A fair amount of profanity.
-A male character mildly assaults a female character (describes him reaching down her dress and grabbing her breast; she then knees him in the groin to end the exchange)
-There is a graphic description of a disturbing dream. (less)
