Sylvirana
Sylvirana is a genus of frogs in the family Ranidae. They live in South and East Asia, from northeastern India in the west to China in the north, Taiwan in the east, and Thailand in the south. Sylvirana was proposed in 1992. At first, in scientists thought Sylvirana should be a subgenus of "Rana". Since then, it has been considered both a genus of its own and a synonym of "Hylarana". Scientists think it should be its own genus because of molecular genetic analyses published in 2015.
Frogs in "Sylvirana" are mostly medium sized with strong bodies. They have markings behind their eyes like frogs in "Papurana". Their upper lips are gray, off-white, or mottled in color. The back is shagreened with spicules, or it can be warty. The folds of skin on the sides of their backs are medium sized and well developed. They are either pale or the same color as the back. The sides of their bodies have dark coloration below ridges that fade to pale and have dark spots with clear edges. Male frogs have paired vocal sacs that may be inside their bodies or outside their bodies.

A reverend becomes the new sex education teacher. He talks about sexual abstinence (not doing sex). In the class, Meg gets a boyfriend named Doug. While this happens, One of Stewie's teeth falls out of his mouth. Brian tells him about the tooth fairy. Stewie fears that the tooth fairy will take his tooth. He tries to use Herbert's teeth, but they are not real. He takes the tooth of a girl with an eating disorder. Brian thinks that Stewie is being very crazy, so he tells Stewie that the tooth fairy is not real. However, a man named T. Fairy takes the tooth from the girl with the eating disorder.
Peter hears what Meg is being taught and thinks that sex is bad. He starts wearing a chastity belt so that Lois does not have sex with him. Lois rapes Peter so that he will like sex again. After that, Lois sees Meg and Doug doing "ear sex" (putting a penis in an ear). Meg thinks that ear sex is still abstinence.
