Plot: When Steve brings home a permission slip to take sex ed at school, Stan flips out and demands to teach it himself. Stan proceeds to give an unrealistic explanation that demonises sex and masturbation. Shortly after, he gets into an accident that damages his crotch and, due to a misunderstanding, masturbates for the first time while applying lotion to the injured area. Stan becomes secretly hooked on masturbation, but Steve, who was responsible for his dad's accident, interprets his father's sudden exclusivenesses as anger and disappointment in him.

When Steve learns the truth about what his father is doing, Stan tries to get out of it by blaming television. Together, Stan and Steve hijack a TV network and use it to broadcast Stan's anti-sex class, until Francine finally has enough of it and tells them that sexual feelings and arousal is natural just good enough to put a stop to their enterprise. So Stan, knowing Francine is right, tells Steve the truth about sex... on live TV.

Meanwhile, Roger becomes a bartender in hopes of making something of himself.
