, Dick, about his non-existant sex life. This includes talking about Joey's crush on a particularly attractive Jewish girl named Vanessa. This gets Dick particularly excited. Joey says there isn't time (for masturbation
), but Dick counters by saying it will hurt if he doesn't
. Joey and Dick begin masturbating, while imagining an encounter with Vanessa. Suddenly, Joey's plain-looking neighbor, Sally, calls through Joey's window asking if he is ready for school. Due to this interruption, Joey and Dick decide not to finish
, describing Sally as "just a salad." Dick then tries to talk Joey into "introducing" him to Vanessa and talks him into "taking life by the balls," in order to win Vanessa's heart and get Joey to lose his virginity
("Me and My Dick").
At school, Sally begins talking to her vagina
, Miss Cooter, who is equally upset with their sexual situation. Sally chalks it up to being "an ugly duckling that became an ugly duck." Sally decides to ask Joey out, but ends up just asking him to be chemistry
partners, which he agrees to. While Sally is explaining their science project, Joey and Dick get sidetracked when they see Vanessa. Vanessa meets up with her friend Tiffany. The girls and their vaginas, The Old Snatch (Tiffany's) and Flopsy (Vanessa's), discuss boys, as well as monogamous
and casual sex
before Vanessa reveals that her boyfriend Rick cheated on her, so they broke up. Tiffany then talks Vanessa into hooking up with a loser, in this case, Joey ("Ready to Go").
Sally gives asking Joey out another go, but is interrupted by Tiffany pairing Vanessa and Joey together for the chemistry project, which Joey eagerly accepts. Joey thanks Sally for letting him pair up with Vanessa and hugs her. In the midst of the hug, Dick and Miss Cooter meet and fall in love with one another ("I've Seen You Around Here Before").
Tiffany shows up at Vanessa's to give her a box of "tools" in case her study date with Joey turned into an "epic fail," including handcuffs
, beer
, and condom
s. Vanessa and Flopsy argue over whether sleeping with Joey is right, but Vanessa convinces Flopsy that it is important to her. Meanwhile, Dick explains to Joey that while he and Sally hugged, Dick met Miss Cooter. Dick explains his feelings for Miss Cooter, but Joey changes Dick's mind by making him think of how great Vanessa's vagina will be.
As Sally is having difficulties working on the science project with Tiffany, the Old Snatch tries to snap Miss Cooter out of being in love with a dick ("Nothin' Like a Dick"). Miss Cooter tells the Old Snatch that it is Joey's dick she's in love with, and the Old Snatch reveals that Joey and Vanessa plan to have sex together. Miss Cooter does not believe this though, and instead believes in love. Tiffany similarly breaks the news to Sally, but Sally does not take it as well, storming off distraught.
Joey goes to Vanessa's house, and Vanessa and Joey begin drinking. Vanessa then tries several different ways to show Joey she's interested in him, but Dick tells him to play it cool, so he shrugs off her advances. However, when Vanessa flat out says she wants to have sex with him, he gets with the program. While Joey and Vanessa are getting hot and heavy, Dick meets up with Flopsy, but does not have the same romantic experience he had with Miss Cooter. Because of this, Joey and Dick experience erectile dysfunction
, which leads Vanessa to throw them out of her house. Joey is so frustrated that he wishes he didn't have a dick, and during a struggle, Dick comes off of Joey and runs away to find Miss Cooter. In shock of losing his penis, Joey is visited by his heart. Joey's heart tells Joey that everything he's been doing with Vanessa is wrong, explaining that girls want love, and not just sex ("Listen to Your Heart").
Vanessa tells Tiffany what happened with Joey, when Joey arrives to, with the help of his heart, win Vanessa's heart. Vanessa quickly shoots down Joey's advances, and Tiffany lets slip what happaned between Joey and Vanessa. The Old Snatch realizes that Joey was acting differently, as if he didn't have a dick. Meanwhile, Big T and Weenie realize that Dick isn't adapting well to his new home, but talk him into living as a "free" dick and not to be so fixated on "getting pussy." Relieved to be "off pussy time," Dick reveals that he left Joey, opposed to the other dicks who had been thrown away. Big T and Weenie see this as an opportunity to find a new home: Joey.
Joey and his heart are licking their wounds after their failed proposal to Vanessa, but Joey's heart decides the only way to keep their dignity is for the two them to commit suicide
. Sally shows up to console Joey and Miss Cooter convinces her to confess her feelings of love to Joey. When Sally begins to leave, Joey calls after her and asks her to stay. He and his heart realize that Sally is "the one" for them, leading to Joey and Sally sharing a passionate kiss ("Even Though"). Sally then introduces Joey to Miss Cooter, but when it is Joey's turn to introduce Dick, Joey says that he can't be with Sally, causing Sally, Miss Cooter, and Sally's heart to leave crying. Joey's heart then convinces Joey that he has to find Dick in order to be with Sally and be happy ("Gotta Find His Dick").
Sally's heart is demanding Sally drown her sorrows in ice cream. Meanwhile, Miss Cooter tries to figure out what was wrong with Joey before being visited by the Old Snatch, who wants to take her to meet the Council of the Pussies ("The Council of the Pussies"). The Old Snatch asks the Council of the Pussies to help find and return Dick to Joey, stating that Dick and Miss Cooter are in love. Flopsy disputes this saying that dicks cannot love. Miss Cooter manages to convince the Council that love between genitalia does exist, and they agree to to help her. The Old Snatch volunteers to lead the pussies to the Land of the Lost Dicks ("Flight of the Pussies").
Joey is having trouble finding Dick and passes out. He is later awakened by the Lost Dicks, who at first give him hospitality, but when Joey starts asking questions about Dick, they quickly stand back to draw attention to Big T. Big T welcomes Joey to the Land of Lost Dicks and claims "there are plenty of dicks to choose from," and tries to talk Joey into taking him as his dick instead of Dick. Dick arrives, and Joey tells him that he came to bring him home. Big T continues to try and convince Joey to take him, bad-mouthing Dick in the process ("Big T's Temptation"). Despite this, Joey chooses Dick, and tells Dick he was right about Sally and Miss Cooter all along ("Me and My Dick (Reprise)"). The Lost Dicks aren't happy about this, and take Dick away. Big T stands up for Dick and Joey, but Weenie sees this as Big T growing soft, and takes over as leader of the Lost Dicks. Just before Weenie can attatch himself to Joey, the Council of the Pussies arrive to save him. Weenie is then picked up by a bird and flown away. Joey and Dick are then reunited, and Joey introduces Dick to his heart, stating that love and sex should be a team effort between them. The group meets up with Miss Cooter and the Old Snatch, who tell Joey not to tell anyone of the world of walking, talking genitalia, which he accepts. Flopsy takes Joey, Dick, and Joey's heart home, and Dick and Miss Cooter promise to meet again. At this point, Miss Cooter prepares to leave, and the Old Snatch reveals that he isn't going back, as he plans to see the world. She then runs into Big T, who was her first dick, but the two reconcile their differences and decide to travel to Venice
together.
Miss Cooter returns to Sally, and then she, Miss Cooter, and Sally's heart are visited by Joey, Dick, and his heart. Joey tells Sally he loves her, and the two decide to culminate their feelings by finally having sex. Meanwhile, Vanessa is envious of their new-found love, and gets back together with Rick, who says the initial rumours of him cheating on her were false. Flopsy and Rick's Dick are reunited, the Old Snatch and Big T are happily seeing the world together, and Weenie finds a new home as the dick of the now-vagina-less Tiffany ("Heaven on Earth").
