Plot
At East Great Falls High School in Michigan, four friends await graduation: the sexually inexperienced Jim Levenstein; the insensitive lacrosse star Chris "Oz" Ostreicher; the intellectual Paul Finch; and Kevin Myers, who is desperate to have sex with his girlfriend Vicky.
During a house party hosted by womanizing jock Steven Stifler, the friends learn that their dorky classmate Chuck Sherman has lost his virginity. Frustrated by their lack of sexual experience, the four make a pact to each lose their virginity by prom night in three weeks.
Kevin struggles to seduce Vicky, who fears he only wants her for sex and insists on waiting for the perfect moment to lose her virginity. On the advice of Vicky's friend Jessica, Kevin tries to win Vicky over by giving her an orgasm. Guided by his older brother, he discovers a book of sex tips compiled by former students and uses a cunnilingus technique to rekindle their relationship.
