 The inclusion of " Do You Wanna Touch Me ( Oh Yeah ) " in an episode dealing with sex education and adolescent sexuality sparked some controversy , as its original performer and writer , Gary Glitter , is a registered sex offender in the United Kingdom . He has been convicted of several sexual crimes involving minors , including a conviction for possession of child pornography in the UK in 1997 , and his conviction for child sexual abuse in Vietnam in 2005 . Charities dedicated to serving and helping children have filed complaints to Fox and the producers of Glee . Television executives in the UK , where the episode was to be broadcast about a month later than in the US , were rumored to be considering the removal of the scene entirely . However , a spokesperson for Channel 4 stated that the episode would air in full , and explained : " The scene is editorially justified within the programme and we do not seek to censor material in the proper context . " Claude Knights , the executive director of the London @-@ based children 's charity Kidscape , said , " It is regrettable that the producers did not consider the implication of using such a track in the context of a sex education class . The fact that this song is linked to Gary Glitter ... make [ s ] it wholly inappropriate " . The UK edition of Glee : The Music , Volume 5 omits the track ; " Afternoon Delight " is included instead .
