A minister, named jerry Kirkwood is brought to the school to preach abstinence, causing many students, including Pearl and her boyfriend, to vow to abstain; even SpongeBob becomes abstinent. However, a craze of ear sex sweeps the city, as the abstinent people still desire sexual encounters. Sandy tries to fight this immediately.
