"Sex Education" is the fourth episode of the fifth season of the American comedy television series Parks and Recreation, and the 72nd overall episode of the series. It originally aired on NBC in the United States on October 18, 2012.
In the episode, Leslie (Amy Poehler) fights against Pawnee's abstinence-only sex education platform, Tom (Aziz Ansari) struggles to live without technology, and Ben (Adam Scott) and April (Aubrey Plaza) finally meet the Congressman they are working for.
Leslie (Amy Poehler) has organized a sexual education seminar, as sexually transmitted diseases are rampant among Pawnee's senior citizens. Ann (Rashida Jones) is asked to help out due to her medical background. After getting into a car accident due to constant use of his smartphone, Tom (Aziz Ansari) is taken to court and sentenced to one week without looking at a screen. Tom finds life without technology very difficult, so Ron (Nick Offerman) decides to take Tom to his cabin in the woods so he can "detox" from his technology addiction.
Leslie's seminar is stopped by Marcia Langman (Darlene Hunt) of the conservative Society for Family Stability Foundation, and Marcia's strongly hinted to be closeted gay husband, Marshall Langman (Todd Sherry), claiming the seminar is against the law. Chris (Rob Lowe) reveals Pawnee's law that abstinence-only sex education must be applied city-wide, so the seminar is shut down. Leslie refuses to put up a vote to change the law due to overwhelming public support for it. At the next seminar, Leslie finds herself unable to force the abstinence view on the seniors, deciding to toss condoms into the audience. As a result, she is formally censured by Mayor Gunderson. Anticipating further punishment from Chris, Leslie is surprised when he says that she is technically his boss.
