Cymbeline, King of Britain Steaminess Rating

Exactly how steamy is this story?

PG-13

We're giving Cymbeline a PG-13 rating, mostly because of what the characters talk about. No one actually gets down and dirty in the play, but there is a lot of talk about it, since Iachimo's bet with Posthumus revolves around him hooking up with Imogen.

When Iachimo sneaks into Imogen's bedchamber, he takes a good enough peak at her body to find out where a certain mole is located (on her breast). And then there's Cloten: he's a fool, but he's a lusty fool. Before he heads off to Wales, he delivers a speech about forcing Imogen to sleep with him while he's wearing her husband's clothes.

Nasty.
