Next Time You Get Tested For STDs, Click 'Share'

Even in our age of social network oversharing, there's some stuff we don't advertise online...and it doesn't get more private than being tested for sexually transmitted diseases. But a new site, JustBeenTested.com, aims to make it something we all post.

Not sure about this? We spoke with founder Alonzo Davis, who explained how it can actually improve your relationship status.

Social networks are traditionally for party pics and cat videos. Are people really gonna upload their medical info?

We verify that you've been tested for an STD or STI; we don't verify what you were tested for and what your results were. The verified test date gives you a little information into someone's sexual health but not everything.

The idea is to make getting tested popular, primarily for 18- to 24-year-olds. We want to combine social networking, creating a profile, blogging and having an opinion into the same pot as sexual health. The typical approach to HIV and STD awareness is pretty outdated, so this is a new spin on things. Most safe sex campaigns are boring and depressing--a guy sitting on the edge of a bed, holding his head, looking in the mirror 'cause he's ashamed...enough of that!

Comedy Central Tonight: Watch Dan Soder's 'The Half Hour'

Posted 5/3/13 4:00 pm EST by Guy Code Staff in Comedy, Interview, TV

One of our favorite additions to "Guy Code" in season three was Dan Soder, who delivered painfully gut-busting laughs. Comedy Central took notice, and now he's performing on "The Half Hour" tonight at 12/11C. As the name implies, it's thirty minutes of standup comedy...and judging by this preview clip, it's gonna be hilarious:

We caught up with Dan to ask about other topics he'll tackle on "The Half Hour," how he felt appearing on Conan and why some comedians are funny on stage but suck at Twitter.

Aside from hipster-bashing, what can we expect tonight?

There are definitely some "Guy Code"-related subjects like drinking, dating, a lot of that kind of stuff.

What have you been up to since season three ended?

I got a haircut, bought a sandwich with the money they gave me and have been taking a lot of naps. So basically, I've been like a lazy Forrest Gump.

Last week, we reached out to you on Twitter to find out what you'd ask a member of the Illuminati if given the opportunity. Through a series of complicated sources and connections we were able to send those questions to "Dave," who refused to explain how he became a member, but proved it by setting up a 2013 MTV Movie Award win for Martin Freeman in the Best Hero category. We didn't ask him to do it, but he said he "was tired of 'The Avengers'" winning everything.

Here are Dave's answers to your questions. Be sure to follow us on Twitter for future Q&A sessions with Dave.

@mtv2guycode can I get a job with your organization? #Askanillumanti

— Mark Gonzalez (@myniggaimGOOD) April 15, 2013

We are not an "organization" and people do not have "jobs" with us. We are an all-encompassing circle of control that can hot-wire your thoughts and make you send pornographic e-mails to your grandparents. Sometimes for fun, we invent a new animal just to see if people can figure out how to kill it. So no, you cannot "get a job" with us, but here is a link to a place where you can: www.KMart.com Read More...

The Beards are an Australian rock 'n' roll group that sings about beards. Like, all of their songs--from a nearly decade-long career--are about beards. Here's their latest single:

They just played SXSW in Austin, so we asked Johann Beardraven (lead vocals/keys/sax/kazoo) about breaking into the American market. And, mostly, about beards. Read on for his answers and more of the band's videos.

James Deen On Life, Porn & '50 Shades Of Grey' [Interview]

James Deen Interview

James Deen comes off as a typical twenty-something dude working in the film industry, the kind you meet all the time in L.A. Except most of 'em aren't world-famous porn stars. As he aptly describes in his Twitter bio, "my name is james i am a simple guy who likes to eat sleep and watch tv... oh ya i also bang chicks for a living."

He's known as ladies' favorite adult actor, but he's breaking into mainstream Hollywood with "The Canyons," in which he stars alongside Lindsay Lohan. (It's a disturbing thriller that's way less disturbing than his "Simpsons" and "Toy Story" XXX parodies.)

We hung out with Deen on the set of his latest porno to discuss his career and future, including a potential role in the film adaptation of "50 Shades Of Grey."

When did you first realize you wanted to be a porn star?

I knew I wanted to be in porno since kindergarten... I mean, really I don't have the exact time frame--just as long as I can remember, I wanted to do adult films.

What's a common misconception people have about you or the adult industry?

I am not a prostitute! I get tons of emails from guys wanting to pay me to have sex with their wife or their girlfriend, which is actually something I'd probably do for free, but I'm not a whore.

Tea Is Manlier Than You Think: Q&A With Bruce Richardson

Posted 3/13/13 4:00 pm EST by Marty Beckerman in Food, Interview, Ladies

For months, we here at Guy Code Blog wanted to do a post titled "The Manliest Teas In The World." Only problem is, we don't know jack about tea. Yeah, we could've listed Australia's Manly Tea Company, or Jeremiah Weed's Sweet Tea Bourbon or coca tea, illegal in the U.S. but available in parts of South America. Or Earl Grey tea, 'cause Captain Picard drinks it on "Star Trek: The Next Generation."

We finally decided to admit our ignorance, and called up internationally renowned tea expert Bruce Richardson. Dude lives in Kentucky and prizes his tea just as much as his bourbon. He schooled us on manly teas, the manly history of tea and how tea might actually get you chicks. (And we're not talking 'bout Long Island Iced Tea.)

So, what's your manliest tea? The one monkeys pick off cliffs in China?

That's actually not true. You're not the first westerner to believe that myth--it's been going around for hundreds of years.

Oh man, that's even more disillusioning than porn stars without makeup. All right, what should we drink instead?

There are two teas that men have gravitated toward for a long time. Lapsang souchong, a Chinese black tea from the Wuyi mountains, known as the "black tea district" for 150, 200 years.

Not picked by monkeys, though?

No. This tea is smoked with burning pine needles. It was the favorite tea of Winston Churchill. It's a manly tea in that you'd drink it sitting in a big ol' leather chair next to a fire in the wintertime, and read a great novel. It's one of those historic teas on everybody's list--you either love it or hate it, there's no in-between.

Andrew W.K. On Fresh+Sexy Wipes, Brad Pitt & More [Interview]

When Andrew W.K. announced that he'd be the new spokesman for Playtex Fresh + Sexy Wipes ("Whether you just finished rocking a packed club or have an intimate encounter after a busy day, this product will make couples feel brand new," he said in a press release), it caused a media firestorm. And it also caused a firestorm here at Guy Code Blog, 'cause we've been on the male wipes train for months.

We asked the hard-partying rock star for his thoughts on everything from personal hygiene to... uh... Brad Pitt and self-fellatio? You're not gonna have a normal conversation with this dude, but you'll definitely have a fun one.

How did Playtex approach you about this endorsement?

Personally I was given this product, the Fresh + Sexy Wipes, to help me be a little bit better of my own self. There's times when I've realized I'm not a very clean individual, but I always wanted to be clean where it counts. Playtex saw that, the potential I had in that realm, the realm, I really mean that realm, that intimate realm.

I'm not the cleanest guy in the world. I'm headbanging 24, 25 hours a day at this point. I could use a little help in that department, to freshen. I don't need it. I don't need this. Nobody NEEDS this. You WANT this. You don't NEED to clean yourself. You just need to drink water and eat some kind of food. You make choices about what you want, what you desire, what you deserve.

Brad Pitt uses baby wipes. So does Will.i.am. Do you think this is part of a growing movement for guys?

Brad Pitt, he's as handsome and beautiful as a man can get. He really is great. He's got a lot of chutzpah, a lot to offer. I wouldn't say he's taken a lot of risks, but if he wants to clean himself up, that's fine, all right? Actually, I don't think he's that great. He's got a nice face. Just growing a beard, that doesn't do it. That doesn't count.

After "Fight Club" and "Inglourious Basterds," you don't think he's that great?

Yeah, you're right. I take it back.

Adrianne Palicki On Why You've Gotta Take Care Of Your Skin

If you don't already know Adrianne Palicki from "Friday Night Lights," you'll know her soon from "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," which looks like it's gonna be a couple hours of pure awesome mayhem. Our pals at Guyspeed chatted with her at the launch of AXE Facescore about why dudes have to treat our skin with some damn care:

How important is good grooming for guys?

Guys don't understand how important it is! We are the ones that suffer when you do not groom correctly or do not have smooth skin. I'll say that every character I have played usually ends up kissing at least one guy in the project I'm doing, and if it's "Friday Night Lights" it's every guy [laughs]. I can't tell you how many times I walk away--not only in real life but on the set--and I have rashes and I have breakouts. You're doing this for hours and they just don't take care of their skin. It's painful, we suffer, it's not attractive.

Personally, do you prefer men with or without facial hair?

I actually really like just a little bit. I do like facial hair. It's the boyish thing I'm not so into--it's too clean cut.

A Wine Expert On Fast Food Pairings, Boxed Wine & More [Interview]

Posted 3/4/13 4:00 pm EST by Guy Code Staff in Food, Interview, The Show

Anybody can go to a wine store and pick a random bottle, but it takes some deep knowledge to pick the right bottle. Lucky for you (and for us), we sat down with Café D'Alsace sommelier Gianni Cavicchi, who taught us everything we need to know the next time we order a glass of vino...or a box of it.

So, what qualifies you as a wine expert?

First and foremost, I drink a lot. Can't be an expert without trying all the wine!

I've been enrolled in the Wine and Spirit Educational Trust for the past four years. ... Café D’Alsace is a four-time 'Award of Excellence' winner from the Wine Spectator. My father was a sommelier across Europe, and I always grew up around wine and making wine, so it was in my blood.

Wine gives brutal hangovers. In terms of taste and the morning after, what do you think of organic and/or sulfite-free wine?

Organic and bio-dynamic wines are simply awesome. Eliminating cheats like chemical pesticides make the vintner pay closer attention to his or her vines. Sulfites do not cause headaches or hangovers; I truly don't know where that myth came from. The thing to watch out for is histamines, and obviously the alcohol.

For more on wine, watch "Guy Code" Tuesday at 11p/10c on MTV2

Driving Tips From NASCAR Driver Darrell Wallace, Jr.

He's not quite the Tiger Woods of racing (yet), but 19-year-old Darrell Wallace, Jr. is only the fourth African-American to compete professionally in NASCAR, and the youngest to be named Rookie of the Year. He's also the first to win a pole position by driving the fastest in a qualifying lap.

Over a BBQ lunch before the Daytona 500, Darrell shared some of the pet peeves that drive him to road rage. In other words, here's how to NOT drive like an assh**e.

1. Keep Up With The Damn Speed Limit

"I actually don't like speeding on the highway--I hate paying tickets. But what aggravates me is people who go under the speed limit. I just want to punch them. At least go the speed limit! People who drive 40 in a 45…it's ridiculous."

2. Stay In Your Damn Lane

"People will swerve in front of you really fast, really close--I know they're not going to hit me, but I also know the limits because I drive a race car. They're just trying to fly through."

3. Get Off Your Damn Phone

"The drivers who make mistakes like pulling out in the middle of an intersection at a red light, they're talking on their phones. Pay attention! Talking hands free, you're still distracted. It's a little different when we talk on the radio going 200 mph, but I'm really quick with words. If [the pit crew] ask me how the car feels, I just say 'good.'"
