He Said/She Said: Sexual Malfunction

[He Said/She Said is a new series designed to help all our wonderfully confused readers figure out what he’s really thinking. So every week we’ll be throwing out a topic for debate…and unlike our fave dude, these guys won’t be sugar coating anything for you. But before you jump into their heads (which seriously will make you feel like you need to shower), check out what we think!]

“Oh god. This has never happened to me before.”

Yup, I’ve heard that one before. Twice from the same person, actually. I’ve also had one ex propose a trip to Home Depot to rectify the situation. True (and really creepy) story. Being in college where the average night starts with a beer bong, ends with a shot of Jager and has a whole lot of cheap booze in between, I know I’m not alone. Erectile dysfunction (also not so lovingly known to as Whiskey D*ck) is as prevalent as Uggs, overpriced textbooks and porch couches. It’s something that all college women will encounter at one point or another in their lives.

But that doesn’t make it any less embarrassing for the guy whose parts aren’t working, or for the girl who has to somehow rectify the situation.

However, having encountered a limp biscuit a few times between the sheets (and once in a bathroom stall), I have to say that it’s really not as big a deal as movies, stories and shell shocked guys make it out to be. Read More »


Tuffy Luv Keeps the Faith

Question?! Answer: Ask TuffyLuv@collegecandy.com.

Dear Tuffy Luv,

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for almost all of college (we’re seniors) and he’s my perfect guy. I never believed in soul mates until I met him. We get along great, we have so much in common, we have almost all the same friends, and it’s just a great situation.

Perfect, right? Well, I thought so.

We’ve  been making plans to move in together, and he seemed totally fine with that, but a couple of week ago I mentioned in passing something about getting married (I know, I know) and he threw a major curveball at me. It turns out that he won’t marry me–unless I convert to Catholicism.

I never knew this was a big deal for him. He doesn’t seem to be very religious (I’ve never seen him go to church except Christmas and Easter) and he’s never brought this up before. But when we talked about it a couple of weeks ago he was really clear that I would need to convert or else it wasn’t going to work.

I thought about it for a while. I’m not religious so I thought, hey, what the heck, maybe I should just do it for him. But then I started getting kind of mad. Why do I have to pretend I believe in something that he never even told me he cared about before? I think it would really upset my parents and, actually, I think it would really upset me, too. I don’t think I should have to pretend to be something I’m not.

I don’t know if I should be mad or break up with him before it goes any further or convert or what. Also, don’t you think it’s kind of suspicious? He can move in with me but he can’t marry me? Is this BS because he just doesn’t want to marry me?

I don’t know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated. Until then, I am

Not Converting

10 New Careers for Snooki

Move over, Danica Patrick!

Have you heard? Everyone’s favorite Guidette has got herself a new career!

According to out friends over at PopEater, Snooki will be facing off against WWE’s Michelle McCool and Layla in Wrestlemania XXVII. (Watch her wrestling warm-up here.)

Everyone knows Snooki can hold her own in a fight. Her Jersey Shore showdowns have proven that much, but this is a whole new level of smackdown for our Snooki. Can she handle it? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean she should.  If I’m being  honest, this is not her best idea. (And that includes the whole NYE ball drop disaster.) Snooki may be cut out for bar brawls but not for wrestlemania. But if she is really looking for a “career change”, you know away from the blossoming career she’s had as a reality TV star, I’ve got a few other options for her.

1. A race car driver. Does Snooki even have a driver’s license? I’m not sure. But if she doesn’t she can get one. If only so she can wear one of those racing outfits. In leopard print. I’d just really like to see nothing but that poof popping up over top of the steering wheel.

2. A cleaning lady. Not the most glamorous job, sure. But after that episode a few weeks ago when she tackled that toilet with liquid soap I just know that Snooki has a knack for house cleaning. The faces she makes, the sound of her screeches, and her attempts to tell the difference between Lysol and Clorox Cleanup would just be a plus.

3. A bouncer. Now that we know Snooki can handle herself in a fight, I think a bouncer would be great job for her. She’d get to work in a club, wear the same outfits,  and listen to the same music.  I mean, she could work at Karma. And when the night is over she could grab one of the guys she kicked out and take him home to get it in.

Seventeen Says The Darnest Things: Footwear Edition

At first glance, this month’s Seventeen is a winner.  The cover girl is Victoria Justice, who is totally cute and, from what I can tell, actually somewhat talented.  I was slightly less excited about her presence on its glossy cover spread, though, when I saw the excerpt quote “In high school I felt alone and isolated.” Like, seriously, if I had a dollar for every time I heard some hot, famous girl say that….

Oh, and it’s even more annoying when said celebrity SHOULD STILL BE IN HIGH SCHOOL.

But I’ll V. Justice props -  after reading her interview, I like her way, way more.  For one thing, she actually admitted to having tried alcohol in the past. (Gasp! Shock! Horror!!) She didn’t pull some Taylor Swift-esque “all that stuff just isn’t for me, I just sit at home and bake cookies” excuse.  Unlike the girls Seventeen generally chooses, she seems real.  I applaud for discussing a controversial issue openly, just as I applaud Seventeen for publishing that quote.  A true role model isn’t someone who is perfect, but someone who is relatable.  By that standard, this girl is well ahead of her peers.

But back to Seventeen… The cover also included the question, “Are you addicted to food?”  And not going to lie, my hand totally flew up in the air when I read that one.  Luckily, the fact that I’ve never picked food over partying led me to determine that I don’t have Binge Eating Disorder – just an unhealthy obsession with Coldstone.

Seventeen was kind of low on ridiculous articles this month.  In place of the usual “I had a drink and made a mistake” story that they usually run to scare the crap out of their young and impressionable readers, this month’s real life read was a touching account of one girl’s struggle with cheering for a basketball-playing rapist.  I expected the Teen Mom article to be full of quotable gems, but the truth is, it was a really useful article. Like, it actually addressed the fact that teenagers are going to have sex and helped them understand the realities of it, like the fact that pulling out is not the most reliable method. Read More »

Bachelor Recap: The Final Rose

Dear Brad Womack,

It’s no surprise that back when it was announced you were going to be our bachelor, I was not a happy camper. You were a repeat offender, having been on The Bachelor once before and left not one, but two girls without a proposal. You seemed needy, immature, and a little slippery- basically the carbon copy of any drunk guy I’d meet on a Saturday night on the sidewalk outside the bar after last call. Except you were sober, I was sober, and I still found you that unappealing. God knows how much I thought I’d hate you once things got boozy in the Bachelor mansion.

And at first, you lived up (down?) to my expectations. How many times did you tell us you were a changed man? For crying out loud you brought your therapist on the show just to prove how “in this thing” you were! Call me skeptical, but it looked like a lot of smoke and mirrors covering up a still-damaged man. The fact that you shamelessly made out with all of the girls, openly spilled your woes in exchange for affection, and quickly developed strong feelings for multiple women made me all the more suspicious of your dedication to a very serious, extremely important, Chris Harrison Approved reality dating show.

Did you not get the memo that the emotional well being of nine out of ten midwestern housewives rested in your hands? Did you think you could hand out roses willy nilly? This sh*t is for real, dude! Read More »

Nothin’ But Love for Kanye

Most American’s have a love/hate relationship with Kanye. And by that I mean, we love to hate him. From his outrageous Twitter rants to breaking the heart of T.Swift, Kanye has made more of a name for himself with his outlandish acts than with his actual talent. (Recap of all his drama right here.)

But times are a-changing. Kanye didn’t have anything to say after being turned away from Paris Fashion shows last week. No wild 20 status-long rants on Twitter, no videos claiming how he is the best and out with the rest…nothing. For a second it seemed something had happened, like he dropped of the face of the earth. But I’m starting to think it’s something else…Could Kanye being growing up?

First, let’s talk about his grown up tweet regarding the Bieb’s Grammy loss. Kanye just seems to be watching what he is saying, and actually…dare I say, respecting others in the music industry. This not only will lead to more fans (well the ones able to get over the Taylor debacle), but a positive image for Kanye.

Granted it’s baby steps, but I think I’m seeing a change in Mr. West, which means we have to start recognizing him for his talent. Which, we have to admit, is pretty freakin’ awesome. So what’s next for dear old Kanye? Could it be a seat in the Senate? Or maybe just another amazing hit song? Who knows what’s around the corner, but I have a feeling ‘Ye might not be as fun to watch as he used to be.

Oh well, at least we still have Charlie Sheen.


We’ve All Been There: Day Drinking

You’ve got a big day planned: 7am bloody marys, 9am flip cup tourny, a burrito break, then lots and lots of green beer. 18 hours of boozing? Psssssh. It may sound like a lot, but you’ve been training for a day like this since you stepped foot on campus.

You set your alarm for 6 a.m. then run around the house screaming at your roommates to get out of bed.

“It’s party time! Get up!” You turn on all the lights, bump your iTunes and head down to the kitchen for a power breakfast. You search for the carbiest things you can find, then shove a half frozen bagel into your mouth and wash it down with some OJ, the only non-alcoholic beverage you will have for the day. You don’t have time for chewing; you have an outfit to pick out.

Once your stomach is good and coated you head back to your room to prepare for the day.

Appropriate drinking outfit? Check.
ID? Check.
Camera? Check.
Small flask that fits into your purse but can still get past campus security? Cheeeck. Read More »


10 More Things You Should Know About Sex

So last time we ran a post like this, you ladies learned a lot about sex, even though you didn’t really think you needed to when you first clicked the link. 171 Facebook shares later, it was clear that you learned A LOT more than you expected. Even though we’re young, college girls living the college life, we don’t know sex like we think we do. Especially since the rest of the world keeps coming up with all this new (and sometimes useful) information. So check out the links below, and discover what you didn’t know about sex, the pros, the cons, and everything in between.

1. You are better than a booty call.

Because casual sex isn’t always all it’s cracked up to be.
