High-schooler Rob attempts to masturbate with a sandwich, which his dog tries to eat, and his little brother Cody films the ordeal. At school, Rob meets his friends Nathan and Marshall, nicknamed "Lube", and Nathan reveals that his girlfriend Dana has pledged to abstain from sex until marriage, despite having already slept with several people. Classmate Stifler threatens to make a move on Heidi, Rob's crush, and Lube has a vivid fantasy about a group of cheerleaders, particularly Ashley. Rob and Heidi meet in the school library where she discloses that she is a virgin, and wishes to just "get it [sex] over with". At the school dance, Nathan manages to offend Dana. Rob attempts to tell Heidi his feelings for her but is interrupted by Nathan and Lube, and eventually finds her in the library about to have sex with another student. Shocked, Rob drops a lit candle, starting a fire and setting off the sprinklers. The next day, while Rob and Heidi are cleaning the library, Rob finds 'The Bible', a legendary sex manual compiled by students over forty years, now damaged by the water. Testing a tip from the book, 'Simple Flattery', Rob approaches Ashley in a lingerie store and compliments her, and she leads him into a changing room, shows her breasts, and makes him steal a bra for her; Rob is caught and forced to pay with his mother's credit card. At Dana's church service, Nathan accidentally broadcasts their highly personal conversation to the entire congregation over the PA system, and Dana's father bans her from seeing Nathan. Rob's mother confronts him about her credit card charges, and Rob's sarcastic reply that he likes wearing women's underwear is filmed by Cody, who again posts the footage online for the whole school to see. At a school basketball game, Katie tries to talk to Stifler but he brushes her off, and Rob is again unable to tell Heidi how he feels.
