* IntimateLotionApplication: While sunbathing, [[TheTease flirtatious Sheeni]] asks her HormoneAddledTeenager friend Nick to apply sunscreen on her. He does so while straddling her back, but he gets so into it that he [[RagingStiffie can't help but get aroused]], causing her to joke about how men get "turned on easily" when she "feels it" on her back. But she doesn't get offended and even turns and asks him to do her "front", to which he awkwardly but eagerly obliges.
