After spending the last few months speaking at universities throughout the Northeast, there’s one question that keeps coming up. (No, it’s not ‘who farted?’ but that is funny.)

‘What’s the best way to approach women at school?’
Fret not, young ones. This month, I’m going to show you how to get some love in three different, everyday, mundane areas on campus. And, unlike alcoholism, you can solve this in just five steps!

Five Steps to First Base

1.Find her when she’s alone. It’s not as creepy as it sounds. You stand a greater chance of talking with her when she’s by herself than when she’s with her friends. She’ll be more receptive to your wily charms.

2.Observe something about her.
What is she doing? What is she wearing? What is she eating? What’s she reading? Does she have the same cell phone as you? Is that a knife? Remember, observations lead to conversations. Read More »

To get laid, the most you need is scented candles, massage oil and Barry White’s greatest hits. But anything more than that requires a bit more work. Say you’ve gone out on a couple of dates. She’s beautiful, chill and gets your jokes. You’re relaxed, funny, and genuinely enjoying yourself. You both know it’s going to the next step of something more serious. What do you do now? Below is a complete list of all you need to know to keep her around–and off your back!

After reading this article from DivineCaroline.com about a girl who finds her boyfriend’s porn stash, we here at COED decided it’s time to give our side of the story.

The author discovers the dastardly evidence while “looking for Christmas presents for her boyfriend,” after which, she confronts the man with all the insecure girlfriend questions you might expect.

(From the article:)

• Are you doing this because you are unhappy sexually with us?
• Are there things you watch here that you want to do, but have been unable to initiate with me, don’t want to do with me, or that I do not inspire in you?
• Do you see me as your “wife type” and these are your “vixens” and the two are totally separate?
• Are you looking at young girls that would be considered illegal?
• Are you looking at gay sex with two men?

First of all, WTF?! “Vixens,” “illegal,” “gay sex!” Ladies, ladies, ladies. You need to relax. Every time I’ve heard this story, the girl has been “looking for Christmas presents,” finds porn, and proceeds to have a complete failure of character. Read More »

The law of odds states that sooner or later, your lover will turn into your ex. Breaking up is hard enough, but how should you act once it’s official? Can you stay friends with the person who once held you when your goldfish died?

Although there is no one answer to a question that has plagued couples (and their new mates) for centuries, there are a few guidelines that can make a confusing time a little easier to deal with. Read More »

Congratulations! You have an STD! (Nope. That’s not funny at all.)

What better way to celebrate the most unfortunate of problems than by sending an STD E-Card to your past girlfriends and/or flings commemorating the event?

inSPOT, the website responsible for the STD E-Cards, seem to be pitching them as an alternative method for introverted, emo kids who would rather not go through the trouble of actually talking to their past hookups face to face. Oopsy Daisy indeed.

If this “trend” catches on, it just proves how severely f***ed up our generation is.

As for me, I have hope for our generation: with the right spin, expect these STD E-Cards to be sent to every Tom, Dick and Jane with an email address. We are sick, cynical bastards who take nothing seriously, just like our parents always tell us. Congrats to us!

Until there’s a better way to relay the bad news to your ex-flames (outside of telling them in person or over the phone or by email or any other way more respectable than a f**king E-Card), I guess they will have to do, right? These digital disease warnings are a healthy reminder on why girls shouldn’t hook up with you in the first place, you selfish, shamless, careless piece of sh*t.

Although I find myself resisting at times, it’s hard to truly knock The Smiths. Morrissey, the saddest sack of the 80s (take that, I’m Your Man-era Leonard Cohen!) has influenced the lion’s share of emo Cub Scouts that sing sob stories today. But why listen to the shrill, pompous vocals of Bright Eyes when Moz can give you a metric-ton of sadness in just one verse?

The folks at Viva Moz must’ve wondered the same thing, thus creating a line of Morrissey Valentine’s Day cards. That’s right: the Pope of Mope, not exactly known for being optimistic, has cards bearing his choice verses to be sent on the most romantic of holidays. Read More »

Have you ever been forced to feign interest while on a date with a hot girl? She’s just hot enough to keep you pretending to care? This song is a tribute to the issue of feigning interest on dates.

The end is awesome.

Even the most macho male can admit that cuddling in bed is pretty rad - unless your arm gets trapped underneath a pile of pillows, losing all blood circulation while your girl sleeps easy.

I never thought somebody would have the brains or patience to solve this problem of all problems, but I was wrong: the fine folks at The Love Story have compiled a list of superior snuggling tips.

When you bring home a one-night stand from the local bar, or even step barefoot into a dorm shower, you may be putting yourself at great physical risk.

So we spoke to doctors from several universities about sexually transmitted infections, sexual dysfunction, steroids, pregnancies and even pubic-hair removal. It wasn’t pleasant.

I. You gave me what?
Most college-student health centers spend lots of time screening patients for sexually transmitted infections, or STIs. Doctors say the number-one reason students schedule appointments is for Pap tests or pelvic exams. Their results might come as a surprise: You’re definitely carrying something, and that something is called HPV. Dr. Davis Smith, medical director of the student health center at Wesleyan University, says: “For college-aged students moderately sexually active - about two to three partners a year - the likelihood of exposure to an HPV (Human Papil-lomavirus) is 100 percent.” Ouch!

Paul Janka claims to have written the book on having sex in NYC - and he actually has. It’s called Getting Laid in NYC.

Janka recently did an interview with the New York Post where he breaks down 120 “conquests” and goes into detail about how he works his mastery.

His tips make sense in the big picture, but some criticism is expected from anybody who considers themselves a pick-up artist/expert on getting laid.

When comparing NYC to other big cities and explaining his success Janka says, “I think part of the reason I wrote [”Getting Laid in NYC”] is none of this would work in Boston or LA. Here there’s not enough guys to go around that meet the criteria of the three s’s: straight, single and solvent.

I just have exposure in New York. I’ll walk down the block and like at rush hour, literally a dozen or 20 [girls] will pass me, each one is attractive in her mid-20’s, each one is single and lonely and it’s unbelievable, it’s like Jesus, I don’t know what these other guys are doing to try to get into these girls’ pants, but this is like a layup town.”

If you fit his “3 S” criteria read his New York Post interview and hit the town this weekend. (COED is not responsible for women slapping you across the face or throwing drinks on your dress shirt.)
