Roommate Nookie - What To Do

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
Roomie and I share a bedroom because we live in dorms. Last night before going to bed, I shut the bedroom door so that roomie and his ex-g/f (yeah right - they've been sleeping together for the last week) wouldn't wake me up when they came in. They have interpreted this as me being mad because she always sleeps over, and as best I can tell, are asleep on the couch in the other room. Does anybody else's roommate get truckloads of nookie and bring it home?

Oh, and I know you'll want to talk about this too - anybody shagged a roommate / flatmate / girlfriend's flatmate?

dude, see my what would you do if... threaad

No-one in my flat gets any sex, least of all with me.

"They've interpreted this as me getting mad because she always sleeps over"

Is it not the case though, that you are getting mad because she always sleeps over?

Sharing a bedroom with someone and regular sex (with someone else) are incompatible. Can't you just say, look do you mind not shagging when I'm in the room, it's rude.

I WISH my drunken car-crash of a flatmate - get this, he's now got massive burns all over his hands from grabbing his grilled burgers straight out of the oven without an oven-glove - would get more sex, as it would make a change from his playing Beatle records all the time. Yes, this is the 'Abbey Road' guy. I'm moving out next week, thank fuck

This is why I have a room ALL TO MYSELF, thank you. My housemate Oly has a Good and Wonderful Girlfriend, but he tends to stay over at her place rather than vice versa. I would no sooner hit on her than I would burn my Cure posters, as that would be *very* rude.

Don't recall trying to win the interest of any past roommate's girlfriends. Either they were gay, extremely repressed, or had perfectly pleasant significant others who I was never really attracted to.

Now, in terms of roommates from hell, I *did* have the SCA fanatics for two years...eep!

What is it with Americans sharing rooms with each other. I mean I thought you were all supposed to be all rich and powerful and have lots of room to spread yourselves about (except in Manhattan) but no, you're all sleeping on top of each other and not having home washing machines. It's messing with my mind!

Nick, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'll have you know that I now OWN my first washer and dryer, thank you VERY MUCH.

Took you that long, Dan? Not being snotty, I just see having both of those as Necessities of Life.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tumble Dryers = monstrous environmental disasters.

Well, I lived for 6 years in apartments that either came with a washer and dryer or were part of a complex that had laundry rooms. I've never had to actually go out and buy one before...

On the subject of roommate nookie: In college I was the inconsiderate roommate shagging himself rotten while the others gritted their teeth and turned up the television (or, in one case, went into his room and had phone sex). Post college, I had roommates who I knew were having sex but none of them made a lot of noise. (I suspect that this is because they weren't particularly good at it. *meow*) Never gone at it with a roommate or roommate's girlfriend or girlfriend's roommate because I like it when my life doesn't resemble a soap opera. (I have witnessed the fallout of a roommate going out with another roommates ex-girlfriend, though. Alternately "Eek!" and "HAHAHAHAHA!")

Dan Perry, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Listen, you smug bastard, OUT! Though I'm still entertained. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wait, am I being smug about the sex stuff or the washer and dryer? I'm confused.

And who's richer than me, anyway? I won't stop until I'm #1!

Dan Perry, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My first college roommate let his friend have sex on my bed, or at least she was just on top of him when I opened the door. My second college roommate was having sex when I walked in the room and sat around until I realized what he was doing, just strange wiggling. I stopped having roommates after that.

matthew, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The sex stuff, if that makes you happier. You fiend.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(I love theexact deployment of the phrases "let his friend have sex" and "having sex" in matthew's story)

"anybody shagged a roommate / flatmate / girlfriend's flatmate?"

Yes, Dave M - grate name mayte! - I'm afraid I have shagged a housemate and it was a DRUNKEN MISTAKE! Or so I thought. Then I learned the girl had shagged ALL of the previous male inhabitants of the shared house!!

One of my housemates is forever giving his g/freind a portion, only last night I went down stairs to the main lounge and there they were - in the naughty naked nude! And post coital I believe. Ewwwww! Why they couldn't go into his room and do 'IT', I don't know.

DavidM, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

giving his g/freind a portion

What a delightful way of putting it.

Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Men who say 'a portion': D-d-d-dud. Subliminal 'swallow, please' vibe and sounds like euphemism for very bad sex of negligible duration.

suzy, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"a portion" becoz he is leaving some for Mr Manners. "It iz not considered form to serve yr young ladyfriend the entire pie in one go." Etiquette in Our Times, Henry Snite- Rowr, 1897

re Nick Dastoor's disillusionment with Americans - we here believe that America is a land of dwarves! And I will be very disappointed if this turns out to be false.

maryann, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

suzy: You'd rather the gentleman said "swallow please"?

JM, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I defer to pop pundit Sinead O'Connor for this one: "The difference between 'like' and 'love' is 'spit' and 'swallow'.

suzy, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, me and my roommate don't share a bedroom but we might as well because my apartment is not very big and the tenant before last STOLE THE DOORS IN THE APARTMENT so there are no doors...

Erm, since my roommate moved in in April, I've been the guilty party in having-sex-while-roommate-is-around thing. She sleeps like a rock though, so I don't think she's overly noticed. I mean, what am I meant to do, tell her to go sleep on the roof? But if we shared a bedroom, it'd be totally different, that's just rude and gross - I mean, how can you have sex with a third, unrelated-to-the-proceedings person SITTING RIGHT THERE?

Ally, Monday, 20 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what is it when you gargle then?

Geoff, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Can you ask to join in ?

anthony, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I hate to blow everyone's perception of the situation, but they don't have sex in front of me every night. I did walk in on them once by accident, but considering that she stays over every other weekend or so, that's a pretty good ratio.

And even weirder, they weren't asleep on the couch outside, they appeared not to have actually come home at all. I don't know if this is connected to the fact that roomie allegedly was into some Very Hard Drugs a month ago, or if they just crashed somewhere else or what. What odds, we're moving out on Friday anyways.

BTW, Tom, I think the new name for NYLPM should be "strange wiggling", from Matthew Stolenkisses' post.

Dave M., Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Putting Dave's two posts together, I still don't understand what on earth was going on.

Nick, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm going to post an article about it, and then we can have an article discussion thread, just like on ILM.

Dave M., Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fucking in the prescence of royalty ...classic. Fucking in the prescence of roomies.....dud.

Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fucking on the shoulder of giants ...classic
