The Quiet American Steaminess Rating

Exactly how steamy is this story?

R

The Quiet American has a few, concise descriptions of Fowler having sexual intercourse with his lover, Phuong, who lives with him, and a scene that takes place in a locale called House of the Five Hundred Girls. Fowler, the narrator, occasionally reflects thematically on the subjects of sexual experience, pleasure, and innocence. Not for innocent eyes.
