Conan the Barbarian (1982) Rated R for extreme nudity and Sexuality. {NOT A MOVIE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE}.

Conan has sex and loses his virginity as a reward for learning language and expert swordsmanship. The woman is pushed into the cage of Conan by one of his masters and both her breasts and nipples are exposed. Conan comes up to the woman and gently covers her and puts his arm around her assuring her no physical brutality. Moments later he lays her on her back and unrobes her and again we see her bear breasts and nipples. People watch from outside the cage as the camera fades away and it is implied he has gentle sex with the woman.

There was one specific scene with Conan and a witch having sex. Conan and the woman are both nude and Conan is thrusting inside of her, but no close-up of the lower private parts is seen. Also we see a side boob shot of the woman, but not much of the breasts and no nipples are seen becuase the woman's long hair is covering them.

Conan and his two thief comrades enter a snake tower where a woman is under the Thulsa Doom spell. She is willingly being unrobed and is about to jump into the pit of the a very large snake to be consumed. The snake is killed by Conan and one of his comrades before she is sacrificed. However, during the unrobing both breasts and nipples are seen for about 2 minutes.

Conan infatuated with Valeria has sex with her. Rather than an act of random sex, both of them have strong feelings for each other and stay together in a sense as common law husband and wife throughout the rest of the movie. (It is implied that they are in a common law husband and wife relationship becuase in Conan the Destroyer 2 years later in 1984, he spurns every woman who shows interest in him. This is proven when he spurns both the queen's advances at the begining of the film and Princess Jenna asking him to be her husband and King at the end of the movie). In the sex scene with Valeria both of Valeria's breasts and nipples are seen for about a minute and a half.

There is a semi-graphic orgy scene with mostly topless women for about 5 minutes. Breasts and nipples are seen extensively during the 5 minutes.
