- Sleazy Photoshoot: Charlotte is approached by a photographer, Sarah, who asks if she can model for her. During a photo shoot in her studio, it progresses to semi-nude modeling, then Sarah starts coming on to her. Charlotte at first goes along with it, but eventually halts it and leaves when it dawns on her that she's being taken advantage of.
- Vampires Are Sex Gods: The vampire serves as a dark and tempting contrast to the heroine's mortal boyfriend. He tries to seduce her through dreams, an effort made easier by the fact that just about everyone around her is trying to convince her to be more hedonistic.
