<p>As a going-to-be-freshman, I'm interested to know more about 'sexile'.
I'm not sure about this term but
someone told me that if the doorknob is with the necktie or socks,
I should avoid going in because one of my roommate is having a love time?</p>
<p>Well, here are the questions:</p>
<p>-Is sexile common in campuses? How common?
-Suppose you were 'sexiled'-- where are you going to sleep?
-Girls not allowed in guys' room after 1 am? Is there such rule?</p>
<p>Just my curiosity :)</p>
<p>it depends on the campus
also, the necktie/sock thing is just the story, the myth, the stereotype. no dumbass is going to do that and let everyone know. roommates just tell each other if they can have the room for some amount of time.
only jerks sexile roommates for an ENTIRE night and you sleep on the ground outside the door so when your roommate wakes up the next mourning and comes out he’ll feel sorry
that’s a rule? really? where did you hear that? at camp?</p>
<p>lol.
if i have to “borrow the room for some time” i just text my roommate. and he does the same. we both know everyone on our floor and we usually just go hang out in someones room. but yeah, nobody ever puts something on the door lol thats just stupid.</p>
<p>My roommate would draw a heart on our whiteboard if I was being sexiled and she didn’t tell me about it ahead of time.</p>
<p>My roomie told me ahead of time, “Hey, I’m having like 3 friends coming over on Friday night.” and I just prepared to grab my Spiderman sheets and sleep in the lounge.</p>
<p>““Hey, I’m having like 3 friends coming over on Friday night.””</p>
<p>what was she filming, a gangbang?</p>
<p>Haha, I have no idea. I just locked my stuff in my trunk though, and didn’t ask any questions. The couch suited me well enough.</p>
<p>i actually have seen the sock on the door. a lot of times roommates seem to not see each other, and at least when i go out, i miss text all the time</p>
<p>I’ve never seen something as random or blatant as a sock on the door, but I don’t think it’s abnormal at all for roommates to negotiate some other kind of symbol or something to hang up. </p>
<p>People try to operate on a common courtesy model. </p>
<p>Talk about rules for having sex in the room at the beginning of the year (usually the process of forming ground rules with your roomie about everything from quiet hours to sexiling to whatever is done as a group exercise with the RA). The way my roommate and me did it was that we tried to only have “visitors” over when the other roommate was known to be out…went home for weekend…went to hang out with other friends one night…was at class…etc. We posted our schedules and that was that. Otherwise, I would imagine it would be fine to occassionally request an afternoon or some other time to yourself in the room. Roommate obvi has veto power but there’s nothing wrong with asking. I would personally definitely mind leaving for the whole night, though…</p>
<p>Anyway, I think it would be a jackass move for you to literally lock your roommate out without giving them any advance warning or something. Maybe it would happen once during the year it a fit of passion or whatever but the whole idea of sexiling is really only a problem if you don’t communicate with your roomie haha.</p>
<p>If someone put a sock or a necktie on a doorknob on my floor, it would probably get stolen.</p>
<p>why would you steal a sock</p>
<p>this should be an extension to the pet peeve thread lol. i always feel bad for the occasional floormate that gets sexiled.</p>

yeah that happened to me and i was *<strong><em>ed. he did answer my text when i got back to find it on the door, and said it was last second and that they wouldnt be long. i was *</em></strong>ed cuz it was prob 4 am. so my friend, who was ****ed about it too, sat outside the room in the common area (i live in suites) waiting for them, and when we realized they were just talking we started talking to each other obnoxiously loud. this may seem like a dick move on our part, but my roommate is a dick and deserved it.</p>
<p>Me and my roommate usually work it out ahead of time if we know someones coming over. If it’s a spur of the moment thing we’ll text each other to let the other know, + we have a traffic light drawn on our whiteboard on our door, Red Means Stop, Green Means you can come in. I’m pretty much nocturnal along with my floor so I usually just go chill with my friends on my floor till it’s over, but I’m sure I could sleep in their room too if it came down to it. It’s not that big of a deal so I wouldn’t worry about it, and it doesn’t happen often enough to be a nuisance.</p>
<p>

<p>I don’t see why this is a problem. You have a common area inside your suite. Just sleep on the couch or something. No reason to have to be a dick to your roommate.</p>
<p>How come every sex topic I create gets deleted but these survive?</p>
