MTV’s newest resident sex and relationship guru Dan Savage is trekking across the country to enlighten America's coeds and help them better understand the sexual culture that exists today. But what happens once Dan offers his pearls of wisdom to the eager undergrad? We usually don't get to see the students put his advice into practice, but luckily our own MTV family members can show us all how it's done. This week's advice in action: Talk it out.

After using their superpowers to help rid the University Of Central Florida of its sex and relationship troubles, last week our "Savage U" dynamic duo continued their tour below the Mason-Dixon line with a stop at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. Unlike some of the bigger campuses that Dan and Lauren have visited on their traveling lecture circus circuit, Rhodes contained a much smaller student body, and as soon as they arrived, two things became crystal clear: the girls outnumbered the guys and the honor code ruled the school.

Once inside the "Rhodes Bubble," Prof. Savage helped out a girl hoping to convince her boyfriend to have a threesome (still not sure how much convincing he'll need), as well as a sexually inexperienced guy looking to spice things up with his eff buddy. In between, he sat down with some sorority sisters from [insert Greek letters here] that had Kappa Kappa questions about hooking up with a friend's ex: Can you break girl code without destroying a friendship? Does the girl have a right to be mad? Should you talk about it? Dan's response: yes, no and duh! Check out the clip:

At a small school like Rhodes--where the male pickings are slim--the rules of girl code aren't black and white. Regardless of what a girl thinks, she doesn't own her boyfriend, and she certainly has no claim over her EX-boyfriend. As Dan sees it, if you want to date your bestie's ex-flame, fine, but it's important to communicate openly about your intentions.

It's no surprise that many members of our own MTV family have suffered through their fair share of relationship woes thanks to a betrayal of girl/guy code. On "Real World: Denver" a drunken mistake was all it took to threaten the blossoming friendship between Jenn and Colie. They were only in the house together for a few days, but a couple of things were clear from the season's start: 1) Colie and Jenn were insta-BFFs, and 2) Colie had a crush on Alex. Obviously, Jenn banging Alex wasn't the best way to deepen their friendship. When the girls sat down together to talk the next day, they spoke honestly about the incident. Most of the convo was pretty much what you'd expect from an apology sesh: Colie said that she was disappointed in Jenn and that the hookup made her look foolish; Jenn offered about 15 teary "I'm sorry's" and said that her romp with Alex meant nothing. This scene is a great example of Savage's advice put into action:

It's important to look at the bigger picture when something shady happens within your inner circle. Before you go and get super passive-aggressive, or just aggressive with the guilty party, remember that true friendships can weather most storms. Jenn and Colie were able to maintain their friendship because they didn't waste time getting all hot and bothered--they put the problem out there, addressed it and moved on. Ideally, the sorority girls at RC will each find a man without connections to their fellow sisters, but if there has to be some cross-contamination, at least they'll have the tools to figure out what to do next.
