There are frequent visual and verbal sex references, including to urolagnia, oral sex, anal sex, BDSM and masturbation.
References to sexual violence occur when the documentary's subject, El Duce, and his band produce songs about 'rape'. He encourages a crowd to shout out if they like to 'rape women' and is met with cheers. One clip shows him appear on a chat show where he is antagonistic towards a victim of sexual violence. In another clip, 'El Duce' describes what a 'peaceful rape' is and refers to this involving drugging a woman. A topless woman dances on a video in front of a neon sign that reads 'sex slave'. Misogynistic song lyrics refer to women as 'inferior' and as 'sluts'. The documentary condemns sexual violence.
