Not explicitly. But a 17 year old girl is the love interest of a 20 year old man. He talks a lot about his love for her to older men.

As the painting starts to show wear, different features of Dorian's are described. It varies, how graphic they get, but I would say beware of that in general.

Henry points out that Dorian won't be young and beautiful forever which causes him distress. Because of this he practically exchanges his soul for eternal youth.

Sybil Vane kills herself after Dorian left her. Alan Campbell kills himself after Dorian blackmails him into hiding a body. Later Dorian tries to destroy the painting but it just kills him. It is implied that Dorian might hahve caused more suicides like Sybil's.

One minor character is a Jewish stereotype. Luckily he's only in a scene or two.

Alan Campbell kills himself and it is implied that he is gay and Dorian blackmails him with this information. Basil is in love with Dorian (though not stated explicitly because of the time period) and gets killed by him. Dorian is implied to have also slept with men and does in the end.

Dorian mentions having sleeping with people I think, but that's it.

No one really gets a happy ending. Though Dorian's death doesn't really hurt since he was an awful person.
