In almost every episode Charlie Sheen's character and Selma Blair's character Dr. Kate Wales are shown as "Friends with Benefits." Selma is shown in revealing lingeries in almost every episode. Sex is always implied. In an episode Kate asks Charlie to "take off her underwear with his mouth". In many episodes the two undress and crawl into bed.

Much of the show is about Charlie and Sean's promiscuous ways. The two are constantly womanizing. Dr. Jordan Denby mentions a history of infidelity from her first husband. Sean and Jordan eventually have a very sex-charged relationship.
