Beer Pong Gives You Herpes (Kinda)

Unprotected beer pong play is the cause of a significant increase in the transmission of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), which causes cold sores. According to the Center for Disease Control, reports of the virus are up 230-percent from 2007 in people ages 17 to 21, and it’s all from sharing cups.

You decide which publication takes the hotness to a higher level.

COED Presents: 10 Things Guys Hate About Sports

Sports are arguably too important in the average guy’s life.  Sports cause guys to skip family events and work obligations for meaningless mid-season games and preseason action. Yet there is the negative half of sports; the kinds of things that make the average guy cringe at when he spends his average 60 hours a week “with” his favorite teams. Now there can be a number of things guys hate about sports, but I thought I’d come up with just a few.

Alternative WNBA Publicity Stunts

As many of you heard, last night there was a “fight” in a WNBA game that looked about as real as a WWE wrestling match - we’re not the only one to make the case that this was a publicity stunt used to draw attention into the “intensity” of the sport.

Since the WNBA is now implementing circus like publicity stunts to draw attention to the league, we’ve decided to give them some more suggestions to help them up their fan base.

Sophie Monk’s Candid Beach-Shower Scene

Recently, Ryan Seacrest’s girlfriend Sophie Monk decided to take in some sun on the beaches of LA–luckily a paparazzi was on hang to snap pictures.

Wait till you see what happens to Sophie’s red bikini when she decides to clean off the sand under the beach-side shower. Let’s just say wet t-shirt contests don’t always need to involve plain white tee’s–paper thin red bikinis work just as well.

He Said/She Said: Are Thongs Really The Way To Go?

Society has been telling women for years that the sexiest thing to sport under just about anything is a thong. But what do guys really think? What do they really want to see when they shimmy that girl out of her newest pair of skinnies? Or, do they even really care? I mean…they got our pants off. Isn’t that enough?

How To Not Be A Douchebag Tourist In NYC

Millions of people visit New York City every year. Unfortunately, naive visitors throw a wrench into the delicate gears of this busy city with their clueless meanderings and obtrusive groups. Because of this, tourists are the most despised group of people in a city that likes to hate judge people.

Here are a few unwritten laws of the land that you must follow to avoid coming across as a total douche, and pissing everyone around you off in the process.

Pineapple Express star Amber Heard is the new hottness!  We missed Amber in our Emerging Hotties of 2008 list (oops…) but it is safe to say her star is on the rise.

Just look at these photos from Maxim’s August 2008 issue–definitely some of the steamiest pictures circulating the Net right now.

The Ladies of Craigslist’s Casual Encounters

You’ll find a lot of round-ups of super hot, perfectly posed, professionally photoshopped women here on COED. This is not one of those posts. This time, we’ve decided to focus on the “real women” of Craigslist.org’s Casual Encounter section–an eclectic mix of ladies out to get some good, “no strings attached” sex–if you don’t count herpes as a string…Sure they might be tattered, scandalous, haggard and mildly damaged, but at least they’re honest.

COED’s 10 Bands You Need To know, But Probably Don’t

Music is a funny industry. Like most other art, you’re praised if you’re even remotely aware of the underground and expected to, invariably, recognize the acts of the current mainstream. Myspace has managed to simultaneously make it easier and more difficult to keep up. Sure, there are thousands of new bands on Myspace that you would have never heard of before had it not been for the website–and it can all be very crowding to your musical mind–but they’re also all just a click away now. So get your little fingers ready for some intense clicking action. These Myspace links are probably gonna blow you away. Or…um…I hope at least one of them does.

Are You Whipped? Here Are The Signs

Two weeks ago, a buddy of mine (we’ll call him Ted) wasn’t allowed to attend a “Penthouse party” on the upper east side.

Why?

His girlfriend wouldn’t let him. It was a glorified house party on a rooftop, but since the word “Penthouse” was used she cracked the whip.
