## Plot

Holly Holliday is back giving sex education lessons at McKinley High. Will Schuester asks her to educate the group through song, prompting Holly to perform Joan Jett's version of *Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)*. Will later rehearses a rendition of Prince's *Kiss* with her, resulting in a kiss. Holly turns down his advances, explaining that she would end up hurting him.

Kurt Hummel hears that the club is planning a sexually provocative routine for the upcoming 2011 Regionals Competition from Sue Sylvester. Blaine Anderson responds by having the Warblers give a sexual performance of *Animal* by Neon Trees sung to the all-girls school of Crawford Country Day. During the show Blaine notices that Kurt's sexy face looks like he is in pain. They go to Kurt's bedroom and try to practice but each "sexy" face looks the same. Kurt explains that he knows little about sex. He says he has tried to watch "those" movies but he gets upset thinking about the fact that they were all kids once. Blaine says he will tell him what he knows but Kurt blushes and says he doesn't want to know the details and tells Blaine to leave.

Blaine is worried about Kurt's lack of sexual knowledge and goes to talk to Burt Hummel. He admits he is over stepping but explains that he cares for Kurt who is one of the kindest people he has ever met. Burt is embarrassed by thinking about having this type of talk with his son and tells Blaine that Kurt will come to him when he is ready. Blaine paints a grim picture of shy, bashful Kurt going into a bar one day with no information and maybe being hurt. This prompts him to give Kurt "the talk" about sex. After showing him pamphlets he picked up at a free clinic he tells Kurt that he needs to wait until sex matters because Kurt matters. Kurt is uncomfortable but starts asking questions and agrees to read the information. Burt tells him this talk will make them better men.

Annoyed by Holly's lesson, Emma has the Celibacy Club perform *Afternoon Delight* for the New Directions, thinking the song was about a dessert, unaware that it is actually about sex. Carl Howell approaches Holly about counselling, revealing that Emma is still a virgin and has qualms about physical intimacy past hugging. Emma confesses that she is confused about her feelings for Will after being asked by Holly, and Carl tells her he will be moving into a hotel until she is certain of her feelings.

Holly also counsels Santana and Brittany when they expression confusion about their sexuality. She joins them for a performance of *Landslide* by Fleetwood Mac, after which Santana confesses that she is in love with Brittany and wants to be with her, but is afraid of being ostracised by the student body for being in a same-sex relationship. She does not want to go through what Kurt had. Brittany reciprocates her love, but explains that she also loves Artie and will not break up with him because she doesn't want to hurt him, to Santana's distressed.

Ash is annoyed with Puck for joining the Celibacy Club, but when he explains that he doesn't want to mess up their relationship and that he is trying to be a better person, she kisses him and agrees to join too if it's "what it will take to make us work."

Puck asks Quinn where she got her hickey, but Quinn lies and says she burnt herself with a curling iron. IT is revealed in a flashback that Quinn and Finn have started seeing each other.

Holly is dismissed from her teaching position due to parental complaints about her classes. She tells Will that she wants to learn about romance; he offers to teach her and they violently make out.
