Sexiling

Starting this semester, Tufts University bans sexual activity in the dorms when the roommate is present. The AP article doesn't mention if this includes pressuring a roommate to leave the room if you want to have sex, but Tufts spokeswoman says the policy isn't about discouraging sexual activity, but rather encouraging communication between roommates.

She also said this policy came about after numerous complaints over the last academic year.

So my question is, how much sex are Tufts students actually having? I can remember at least three friends who complained to me about either being sexiled or forced to listen to their roommates have sex in just my first week of college. 

We were encouraged to talk to our R.A.s about any problem we may have with our roommates, sexiling included, but there was never a policy dealing specifically with sexiling.

It must have gotten pretty bad at Tufts for them to take "your R.A.s are here to talk about anything" to the level of "if your roommate has sex and you're in your room, talk to us and they will be punished."

Sexually deprived Tufts students--have you ever been to the biochemical functions of macromolecules stacks in the library? Didn't think so. Most people haven't. Hint. Hint.
