Tufts University regulating its students' sex lives

New Sexual Activity Rules Enacted at Tufts - The Paper Trail (usnews.com)

Tufts University has taken a bold step toward regulating sexual activity in dorm rooms. The school, whose main campus is in Medford, Mass., instituted a new policy for students with roommates in on-campus housing: No sex while the other roommate is in the room, and no sexual activity should interfere with a roommate's privacy, study, or sleep.

The Office of Residential Life and Learning is behind the rule, the Tufts Daily reports. The office says it is responding to a large number of complaints in recent years about roommates' sexual activities.

"There were incidents that occurred last year, and in the past, where residents of rooms started to feel uncomfortable with what their roommates were doing in the room," Assistant Director for Community and Judicial Affairs Carrie Ales-Rich tells the Daily. "This happened more often than we'd like."

Ales-Rich told the paper that the goal of the policy isn't to regulate sexual activity but rather to create a line of communication between roommates.

"We want to make perfectly clear that we do not want to hinder someone from engaging in any personal or private activity," she says. "But when it becomes uncomfortable for the roommate, we want to have something in place that empowers the residents to have a good conversation with the roommate."

Reaction from the students interviewed by the Daily didn't seem very positive.

"I don't think it's necessary," one student said. "I think they are imposing something that should be decided between roommates."

So basically my alma mater has instituted this fun new rule about getting ass when the roommate is in the room or in any way getting affected. What the fuck, its college.

Look, I understand that some people might not be comfortable with their roommate fucking someone 10 feet away from them, while I personally don't care that much I can see how someone would have a problem with it. However, the whole "it should not interfere with their schedule" is where I have an issue. As long as you aren't taking an exam the next day, if your roommate brings home someone, get your ass outta there. Sexiling is part of college. Go to the library. Go to a friends. Leave your roommate alone for a while. What if you get a roommate who cockblocks you nonstop, claiming that when you bring a girl home at 11 on a saturday you are messing up their schedule? We all know someone like this in college, at least I did.

It goes both ways, don't use your shared room as a fuck station and don't get pissed at your roommate if he/she brings someone over occasionally.

lol roommates smashing in front of each other is as American as apple pie.

I mean where else can you get on the job training in the wonderful world of voyeurism?

[Yuri-G]

eh, I think this rule is pretty fair actually. they're just trying to standardize their policy when it comes to roommates and sexual activity. they probably had someone threaten to sue them because their jackass roommate kept bringing people home at the wrong times and fucking up their sleep/study/whatever schedule.

it's a little hard-handed, but honestly, there are worse things than a cockblocking roommate for one year. and if you need to get off that badly, move out of the dorms or at least room with a friend who feels the same way.

That's lame. My roommate freshman year fucked an ugly broad the day before my bio finals so I rammed a blonde the morning of his physics. That's college life, man. That's the way things have been, get over it.

Besides... these virgin college kids gotta learn somewhere other than just porn.

[tyven]

you arent doing college right if you arent banging so hard it moves your bunk bed while you roomie is asleep up top

[Penthesilea]

Man, my ex and her gf and I banged on her roommates bed while she was out. Mostly wanted to do that cause the roommate was a god warrior. And got pictures (but dunno who's camera).

Weak sauce. Until you have rules like ND where they will suspend/expel you for having sex (or even having a member of the opposite sex staying over), no room for complaints.

Also, lol @ those rules ever really being enforced...well, the female dorms seemed to...male dorms, not so much.

You attend where now?

The last time I had a roommate bang while I was there, he had to go get shampoo and a comb.

[lostiming]

They should have capitalized on that and sold pop corns instead.
Carbs help some people sleep better...

To be honest, having sex within 10 feet of someone not participating, and being fucking annoying and loud while doing it is a pain in the ass. Had to deal with it all freshman semester was bullshit.

I lived in an on campus apartment, guy in the wall across from me was a total douchebag and even had the speakers turned up while doing it, so not only can I hear the screaming, I have the shit on my desk being slowly vibrated off.

Good for them promoting some common fucking sense.

[Seraph]

The hell? I thought the official ManLaw was a quality 6-pack (or equivalent) for every hour you displace your roommate due to sex activities?

And this is where you get passive aggressive or make them uncomfortable enough to leave. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people? Pull out your dick and start giving them orders. If they don't leave this time, at least they may not come back. Problem solved, shit.

[BRP]

I don't see what is wrong with this. It is on-campus anyway, goddamn.

[Ivve]

Real ballers fuck in their car.

Doesn't help when you hear that shit through the walls. I had to call the campus police to get them to quiet the fuck down, since they didn't listen the first ten times.
