George Washington University (a.k.a. GW) held a contest to caption this photo from our “Don’t Give Up” ad campaign. Congrats (!) to Laura Wise of GW’s Pi Beta Phi Chapter for her winning caption: “alright then…I think mini golf might still be open…”
So…maybe the lesson here is that when mini golf is an alternative, people do sometimes give up on sex? Or maybe they’re just going to take a breather before trying again? Anyway, bonus kudos to Laura for finding a way to work a little putt-putt relief into her caption. Well played indeed.
Editor’s Note: Oops! There was some confusion regarding our winner’s first name—it’s Laura, not Lauren. This post has been amended as of April 18th to credit Laura properly.
We had an informal caption contest on Facebook last week for this “Don’t Give Up” ad. The winning caption (by a “like”) was:
“You should see me try to get in them!”
Nutz and Boltz: Go to the mattresses...
Written by Stefanie and edited by Mary. Just like grad school – only funnier.
Yes, the pun is intended. For anyone who has seen The Godfather or You’ve Got Mail, you know that this means war. It’s not personal, it’s business. Bedsider and I are going to have a West Side Story-style…
So glad to see that Nutz and Boltz finally made peace with our Confessions app. As her post here demonstrates, there are plenty of sex fails to go around!
With the possible exception of Wilt Chamberlain, nobody is born an expert lovemaker. It’s a rather demanding sport that requires endurance, flexibility, teamwork, creativity and, in certain venues, stealthiness.
Help Bedsider become a TED “Ads Worth Spreading” finalist
About a month ago we asked you to vote for our “Don’t Give Up” ads in the TED “Ads Worth Spreading” challenge. 1) Thanks to all who did and who helped spread the word (!); 2) The voting is still going on (!).
All four of our ads are entered in the challenge and you can vote as many times as you want. You can preview one of the ads below if you don’t feel like clicking through quite yet, but we hope if you like it, you’ll take the leap and click through on each of the links below to vote for the four ads. (A whole bunch of times, maybe?)
In conclusion, vote early, vote often, and if you do vote, please let your friends know by reblogging this post and sharing through other social media channels. It could really make a difference!
You rock, we heart you, and we hope you heart our ads enough to help spread ‘em.
Tell TED You Think Our Ads Are Worth Spreading!
You do, don’t you?
Watch ‘em, (again?) and vote if you like what you see. You can vote for all four ads as many times as you want, so by all means get click-happy (you know…if you want to).
Vote early, vote often. Thanks and XO!
Bedsider’s Coming to a College Near You!

Bedsider’s taking this show on the road. Here we are on a newspaper stand at Northeastern University!
Bedsider’s Making it Official!
We’re taking the beta tag off of bedsider.org and taking the country by storm with a new ad campaign coming to a screen near you. Behold, one of our new PSAs:
How awkward and adorable was that? If you want to see the other PSAs, you can find them on our “Best of Bedsider” Facebook playlist along with some of our favorite Real Stories and Fact or Fictions. And once you’re done with videos, mosey on over to our shiny new Method Explorer tab to “like” your favorite method. Because seriously, what’s not to like about birth control options?
We think this could be the start of something big—thanks for being with us for it!
