Guess the Cosmo Sex Tip

by Johannah King-Slutzky

We have the savants over at Cosmopolitan to thank for the internet's latest skirmish. A June 4th article posted on Cosmo took aim against Reddit's r/Sex by suggesting that Reddit is a bunch of sexually befuddled "ultra-nerds" who you "must hook up with in college -- and then never again." Naturally, we took Cosmo's potshot as an excuse to partake in one of our own favorite pastimes: Cosmo lampooning. Can you guess which of these fill-in-the-blank answers are of our own farcical devising and which are Cosmo genuine?
