* SexIsGood: PlayedForLaughs with Dean's less-than-convincing talk on why he gave up the evils of sex.

* BreakTheCutie: Barb has some of this by the time the Winchester's and Jody rescue the surviving prisoners; it's mentioned that even before being abducted she was pretty guilt-ridden about breaking her chastity vows, after being abducted and trapped in the sewers she gets so crazy with thirst that she starts raking her nails across the wall and drinking her own blood, and then she has to listen to her fiancee talk about sacrificing someone else to buy them time as he seemingly ignores her pleas not to.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Brought up, though the monster in question turns out not to be a dragon.

* VowOfCelibacy: Sam and Dean each sign purity pledges promising not to have sex with anyone prior to marriage, which is supposed to re-virginize them.
