Dealing with a Roomate

[okonite]

For those that are in college, those that went to college or those that will be going to college and living in dorms, how have you handled "alone" time with your significant other?

Is the old "sock on the door" still a thing? I have to think that in today's world of texting that this is long gone.

If you're not in college yet but plan on going how do you plan on dealing with this issue?

Not sure about socks but putting a tie on the door is the international system of "leave me alone im getting some" to be fair thought i think communication with your room mate is the most important thing.

For me I think its better for all of you to talk it before, because he might be have different background culture family or something, this is also matter for security reason if someone else enter yours room. something like drugs use is pretty dangerous and also suicide can happend in trapped room.

if our bedroom door is closed it means something is going on so we wait for it to open, but only when our parents aren't home will we close the door with a friend in the room. if it's closed when my parents are home it means there's a good chance one of us is masturbating. i share a room with my brother

Being in college how I handle it is by being upfront with my roommates like through text or in person that I'm having sex or about to but that's for their sake or the girl's sake if she wants privacy because there's been many many many times when I've fucked in my bed and my roommate was in his bed or in the room and vice versa especially on drunk nights. But there's been many moments not drunk too. The thing is it's not like I'm on top of the cover having sex although that's been seen many times too it's usually under the covers so if someone sees it's not "seen" for consideration purposes. Me and my roommate are both guys so we pretty much understand that we both need to get our nut in and to understood some days the room is going to be occupied for a few hours or don't be awkward if one of us is fucking and the other is having sex or don't be mad if you get waken up by your roommate having sex the key is understanding

Communication is key if you want a lasting relationship with your roommate. As others have said, you might get a roommate with a completely different culture than yourself and you would have to be prepared to deal with it.

As for the sexual issue, come up with some sort of guideline to draw any between yourself and your roommate if need be. If you both are comfortable saying "you do you and i'll do me" then expect to have a few awkward run-ins with your roommate.

All and all, it's really nothing to stress about. I had a terrible roommate my freshman year as all he did was sleep until 3PM and stay in the dorm 24/7. Even then, I had plenty of time, whether he had to go to class or the gym, to do my business.
