Young Garp and Cushie play at being married and sexual imitation is implied.

Jenny describes how an injured soldier, who is brain damaged and near death, has a virtually-permanent erection, and she used his condition to conceive Garp by climbing on top of him. This is discussed openly and a man accuses her of rape when told.

There is a locker room scene in which many naked boys are shown walking around (they all seem in their mid-to-late teens, they are shown from behind or covered in towels from the front. Two guy's genitals and pubic hairs are briefly visible).

Garp almost falls from a rooftop as a young boy, (his mother saves him) and kicks away the gutter in the process, the gutter falls on the Dean's head in turn causing a slight forehead wound.
