In celebration of the coming of age of the crew who blew our minds (which were much younger then) with their uncanny insight, I have to list the top sex-altering Seinfeld moments. After these screenings and endless reruns, sex eduction got a little simpler. Or perhaps a bit more messed up...

The Contest
The foursome compete over who can go the longest without masturbating. The word “masturbate” was not mentioned once in the whole episode, for fear of alarming the public, nor were any synonyms used, it was merely hinted at. And the winner was.... ? (below)
Sponge-worthy
Elaine gets hold of the last two boxes in New York of her contraceptive device, the sponge, before it was removed from circulation. Her strict system of budgeting her sponges, underscores everything that a sexual relationship should be about. This actually happened! (the removal part.)
The Virgin
Jerry is in a relationship with a virgin. It doesn't have the evangelical voice of “abstinence education”, its just about a girl who didn't find the right time with the right guy, and about how her virginity makes different people anxious, awkward and attracted.
Food, Sex and TV
George decides to try combining his 3 favourite activities into what Jerry calls “one disgusting urge”. During sex with his girlfriend, he reaches into his bedside drawer and pulls out a sandwich and then a mini TV set. Guess what? Sometimes more is much, much less.
Shrinkage
Jerry's girlfriend walks in on George naked, after swimming in a very cold pool. He is tormented by the idea that he has misrepresented himself. They call in Elaine to ask her if women know about shrinkage, to which she answers “It shrinks?? Why does it shrink?”
Well, we all know about it now!
By the way, the contest winner appeared to be Jerry, but they all broke down for their own reasons, as we are subtly told by the way they sleep when the sexual tension is relieved.
