The premise of Pleasantville is that two modern-day teenagers become trapped within the world of an idyllic 1950s sitcom. As the sitcom never discussed the topic of sex on the air, the characters within the world of Pleasantville do not know what sex is. 33:35-34:11: there is a brief scene where a modern-day teenage girl has sex with a teenage boy from the sitcom without his knowledge of or consent to what is happening - she does not explain the act or ask for his consent beforehand, and continues even after he expresses concerns about the act (saying 'I think I might be ill" after presumably becoming erect) and becomes visibly unsettled and anxious. The scene is not overtly violent and is not reated by the movie as anything other than an ordinary sexual encounter.
