Exactly how steamy is this story?

Salomé is strictly adults only. Sure, we don't see anything really indecent—a tasteful flick of the light switch in the play's final moments makes sure of that—but there's plenty of talk, tension, and innuendo to make up for it.
For one thing, you've got tons of lustful staring, a long, intensely sexual confrontation between Jokanaan and Salomé, and a freaky father-daughter striptease. Oh, and to top it all off we get a bit of necrophilia (if you're not familiar with the term, "necro" comes from the Greek word nekros, meaning corpse, and –philia is "a combining form denoting undue inclination.")
Believe us, if it weren't for super-tactful darkness, we'd be rating this one XXX.
