Introduction / Sypnosis:

Matt is obsessed with his ex-girlfriend, Nicole (Vinessa Shaw), which makes it impossible for him to have relationships with other women. Matt confides to his brother, John (Adam Trese), a priest-in-training, that he has sexual problems because of his obsession. Realizing that Lent is about to start, Matt tells John that he’s going to go without sex for 40 days and 40 nights. John warns Matt that celibacy is not easy. Matt and his roommate, Ryan (Paulo Costanzo), are co-workers at a dot-com company in San Francisco and Ryan starts an office pool to bet on how long Matt can last.

After six days, Matt meets a girl named Erica (Shannyn Sossamon), who works for Cyber Nanny, and they make plans to see each other in a week. When Matt and Erica meet again, they make plans to go on a date. At work, Matt finds out about the office pool and a website about his vow of chastity. Matt sees that it’s been protected by Cyber Nanny and realizes that Erica must know about his abstinence. Matt and Erica go out to dinner later, and Matt sees Nicole and her new fiancé. Matt introduces Nicole to Erica, and Erica realizes that Matt’s celibacy is a result of his breakup with Nicole and leaves the restaurant. Matt’s co-workers attempt to get Matt to have sex by slipping him Viagra and cutting him into the office pool, but instead he goes to Erica’s house. Erica and Matt have an erotic encounter without touching each other.
