<p>Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think once a week is particularly often for sex, but I think that getting kicked out of my room once a week would be a problem. I’d say 2-3 times a month max, and I would do the same for my roommate. It is, after all, my room - and there are other times and places. During the day isn’t as much of a problem, but 2-3 nights a month is more than enough. It is a shared space.</p>

<p>assuming you’re not a girl…</p>
<p>I haven’t had to deal with sexiling yet (I’m a freshman in the fall) but I’d have to agree with the majority here.</p>
<p>Afternoon? Go for it. My class schedule has me gone most of the day anyway. (1045 to 1240 and then 4 to 915 on MWF and 9 to 1115 on TTh, and I plan to work on TTh).</p>
<p>But I should be able to sleep in my bed. I’m looking into getting a mattress topper, and they’re like $150+! I want to sleep on it!</p>
<p>"assuming you’re not a girl… "</p>
<p>eh, some women keep condoms. It should rest on both genders, to be honest. They say you shouldn’t carry a condom in your wallet because of the heat. Purses are probably not as hot as a guy’s pockets, so it’d make more sense for a girl to keep a couple in there. One should also keep some in a wardrobe or nightstand.</p>
<p>completely missed my point, but good ideas.</p>
<p>Of course if your roommate is male then puncturing the condoms really punishes someone else…</p>
<p>^that was my initial point lol</p>
<p>Here’s what you do, put thumb tacks through the condoms and leave them there. Problem solved (going along with what IBfootballer said)… unless the roommate and his/her lover decide to have unprotected sex, but that’s not your problem.</p>
<p>Was never sexiled, would never put up with it. </p>
<p>For some reason, I always had the roomie with the boyfriend though. I always told the roomie before we moved in that their SOS was not to sleep in the room at any time. </p>
<p>Problem solved.</p>
<p>Never, my roommates weren’t that squeamish. One evening, they were both having sex at the same time while I was in the room (and not with each other).</p>
<p>Happens a few times a month, though not over night (sleep yes, sex no). We don’t share the room, but the walls are so very thin that sexiling is necessary.</p>
<p>Tie on the door if it was not planned/at a time where the other USUALLY has class, or a text like “10 points to Gryffindor”.</p>
<p>When I had a roommate, he and I simply had an agreement that sexiling was never acceptable and if we wanted to have any “fun,” we’d book hotel rooms.</p>
<p>I mean, face it – having sex in a cramped dorm room is bad enough. Having it on a Twin XL bed makes it worse. A $50/night hotel room with a queen-sized bed and all the privacy you need is the real solution.</p>
<p>My plan for preventing sexiling was based around the fact that we both had keys. First time, I’d burst in the room and pretend to not see anything. Second time, I’d ask the girl to leave. Third time, there will be a new unauthorized porn video on YouTube unless they get dressed quickly. Thankfully, there never was a first time. :)</p>
<p>^You are either way too wealthy for someone our age, or getting laid not nearly often enough.</p>
<p>i think his definition of hotel is what normal people would call ‘dumpy motel in the bad part of town’</p>
<p>$50 once a month wouldn’t be TOO bad if you’ve got a job and your parents pay expenses like cell phone bills. </p>
<p>frankly I’d rather cross my fingers and hope she’s got a single dorm, so we wouldn’t have to go into gangland just to have some fun.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>W…T…F?</p>
<p>So it was basically group sex?</p>
<p>Try living in a quad with 3 other girls. All four of us had boyfriends. We had all previously set up a sexiling contract allowing it so long as someone wrote on the whiteboard outside or texted the others. </p>
<p>Sometimes there’d be four, five people of mixed genders sharing the bathroom in the morning. Not fun.</p>
<p>My roommate and I made a strict no overnight sexiling agreement at the beginning of the year. That being said, if we had both gone out for the night and the guy’s room wasn’t an option, we would just text the other that we needed the room for however long, but the other person was always able to sleep in their bed undisturbed that night. Making the agreement right away saved a lot of trouble later.</p>

<p>I just factor it into “entertainment expenses”. My philosophy is that you can afford almost anything arbitrarily expensive as long as you enough other things you can cut back on. Eating ramen noodles for breakfast, figuring out $0.50 lunches, never going to the movies, shopping in gangland (instead of around campus) – the savings add up and all the sudden, you’ll have a couple hundred extra. Here’s how I see it – one night at the hotel = five movie nights. Don’t go to the movie, and you’re golden. There are several other places where you can cut expenses too. All that matter is the bottom line.</p>
<p>Now, if you’re having sex more than twice a week, I think it’s time to invest in your own room, maybe even an apartment. Or, you should reexamine your priorities. :)</p>
<p>why are most of the posts female?</p>
<p>My roommate and I would text each other and give a time limit (i.e. 2 a.m.) that we’d have the room until. Girls usually slept over but nothing happened while the other guy was in the room. Sometimes my roommate’s gf would put handwritten notes on the door for me to stay out for awhile.</p>
<p>It was never really a big deal with us. Just be understanding and take one for the team every now and then.</p>
