Sex & Nudity
- The stage play, Slap&Tickle, that is the subject of this documentary honestly and frankly discusses aspects of adult gay male sexuality in the setting of a gay bathhouse. The actors are partly nude throughout the play (wearing gym towels) while full frontal nudity is fleetingly glimpsed.
- Themes include modern gay man's quest for sexual and emotional fulfillment in a landscape changed over the past 25 years by drugs, politics, HIV and the internet. Six actors portray twenty characters whose spoken stories discuss first kisses to last loves; on-line hookups to off-line breakups; sleeping bag seductions and rape. Like Terrence McNallys The Ritz and Eve Enslers The Vagina Monologues, David Parrs Slap & Tickle shines fresh light on defining experiences of gay lives. What emerges is a play not just about sex but about the universal desire to connect.
Violence & Gore
- None.
Profanity
- Widely-known euphemisms for sexual activities are used by characters in the play in a descriptive, though not in a titillating manner.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- The stage play, Slap&Tickle, that is the subject of this documentary honestly and frankly discusses aspects of adult gay male sexuality in the setting of a gay bathhouse. The use of illicit recreational drugs by one of the characters is described in a narrative story told by another character, although it is not acted out on the stage.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Scenes recorded from the stage play involve characters in the play describing incidents of experiencing sexual assault.
