Title: Coed Dorm Rooms
Post by: ase on May 03, 2008, 08:14:43 pm

Hey this is new to me, but apparently some schools have had co-ed dorm rooms an option since 2005. Now, about two dozen schools (including A TON OF SCHOOLS  IN MY AREA! (since Massachusetts is so liberal)) are letting people choose what gender they want to live with.



I'm not surprised that this is getting a huge backlash from parents and crazy religious fuckos, but I doubt they will do much to stop it since there's always the go-to-a-different-school option. If you're not comfortable with your precious son rooming with a female friend from high school, it's a bit understandable, but most people aren't doing this for FUCKING. I had a few female friends in high school that I would have preferred to live with over guy friends (men are a**sholes).

Personally, I'm just glad that universities and colleges are finally acknowledging that GAYS AND LESBIANS EXIST. If the original mindset a few decades ago was WE DONT WANT PEOPLE HAVING SEX, then obviously homosexuality was forgotten as a very realistic situation!





What do you guys think?

You can already share apartment-style dorms with members of the same sex here but bedrooms are individual... which I think is a good thing.

I think its great, if you've got a couple thats just living together you don't have people sneaking into the other dorms all the damn time.

Besides, I'd love to live with a chick too. You get tired of being around dudes all the time

the only experience i've had living with women is in hostels and really it's not a big deal, i mean as long as you aren't a creep i guess. i wouldn't have any problem living with women and not because i want to peek at them doing something sexy like takin a dookie but because after the initial OOOH GIRLS IN MY ROOM part (which lasts like two seconds), you just act like normal and walk around in your boxers because even if they are hot you live with them and who can be bothered trying to impress people when you're eating toast and farting

The only real disadvantage with living with girls is a) they take five fucking hours to go to the bathroom to brush teeth/take a shower/take a dump/pms and b) they drink all your fucking milk.

Girls are slobs, dude. Living with a smart and polite guy is the equvalent of living on your own and paying half rent. Living with a smart and polite girl, she will still probably clean out her hairbrush and stick the hair to the wall of the shower, leave food out, socks lying around, and never sweep.

I dunno, but sometimes I think that in this day and age men are still raised to be more self relaint than women are, but now women aren't encouraged to know how to keep house anymore.

i was referencing another topic trying to be awesome

Also, although the public girls restrooms are nice (don't ask how I know), they make private bathrooms into shit. They spend two and a half hours in the bathroom working on their face/taking a shower and spend the other two and half hours shitting it up with their hair and various items.

And no, I'm not trying to be stereotypical, I'm just saying what I've observed from living with two girls for about sixteen years of my life.

As for the issue, I don't really care, but I can see why religious people would go crazy over this since they think that "girl and boy in same room = sex"

I'd prefer it. A lot of my male friends are best kind but im not so sure if i'd trust them all the time while im sleeping and to live with, but like almost all the girls i know are easy to talk to and wouldnt pull shit while im asleep (unless they wanted sex which i wish they'd wake me up for :P ) but yeah im an organized person but still messy so i dont mind if there a lil messy. and besides if its a girl i grew up with someone to talk to and stuff and get advice and vice versa.

This is good. Granted, I've never come across a woman that I would ever want to live with... but yeah I would imagine if OSU isn't doing this yet they will be soon, Columbus is a pretty liberal city (huge gay population, lots of middle class minorities) so I would expect this to be an option by the time I get my undergrad degree. I probably wont ever take advantage of it, but I think that having the option to do so is a good thing.

honestly, I had a lot more female friends then I did guy friends in High School, and besides if I roomed with one of them, it'd feel more like I was rooming with a sister or other female family member than a girlfriend or something like that.

Besides, it's not like guy-only/girl-only dorms stopped them from having sex anyways.  If they want to fuck bad enough, they will find a way.

yeah this. 10 or so years ago girls were taught how to cook, how to keep the house clean etc, but nowadays they don't know shit and are just like us, sooo it doesn't make a little bit of difference which gender you are live with.

I mean come on, since I live alone I know more about housekeeping than all of my female friends put together. THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT

As far as I've seen the dorms here in Melbourne are all co-ed and have been for a while. They're split into 'houses' - all separate bedrooms of course, but guys rooms are next to girls and so on. thejackyl is right regardless, the fanatic Christian parents should wake up and smell the java and realise people are going to have sex at college if they want to.

Thats A little harsh but i agree somewhat.  I mean if you have a boy and girl sharing the same dorm then temptation will always play a part. I guarantee you 90% of the time it will lead to sexual relations or rape.

This is offtopic but my roommate's girlfriend lives here every single day and I swear to god she is the bitchiest person I know.

She assumes she can boss me around and constantly bitches about dirty dishes if they're in the sink for more than half a day as well as demanding I do chores like take out the trash (dude, the custodial staff PICK IT UP FROM OUR ROOMS FOR US) because my roommate did it the 'last time'. Also today I came back to find a rotten cabbage in my BEDROOM and I have no idea where it came from. I think she assumed it was mine in the fridge when in fact I threw out most of the veggies I bought a couple weeks ago.

I also have a loud alarm set so that it will wake me up (I am heavy sleeper) and she can't sleep through someone closing a fucking door so every morning even if the alarm is not very loud she pounds the wall.

I am not exactly a GREAT ROOMMATE (I leave dishes in the sink for too long sometimes and occasionally I leave computer sound on when I'm not present) but jesus she shows absolutely no respect considering she is NOT MY ROOMMATE and doesn't have a right to complain about the room when she and my roommate smoke pot in the kitchen 3 times a day.

what treg since when did you room with girls

For me I don't think that gender would matter at all. Roommates ate roommates and no matter what they are horrible fucking people who exist solely to get in my way and annoy the fuck out of me. -practices skateboard tricks inside the dorm room while watching family guy and youtube standup comedy-

Living with girls is kinda annoying when you wanna get drunk, scratch your balls or watch tv with your friends.
I'd definately live with all guys cause they are way less anal and twice as fun.

I don't think I could ever room with guys... at least, not easily. Even my good guy friends from high school. To me, it would just be awkward and weird and exceedingly messy. But, hey, if it's an option, and people want to do it, then by all means, they should go with it. It's not like you have to get a co-ed dorm room (there are options, right?) so I don't see why it's such a big deal to parents.

Hey, I'm going to the University of Pennsylvania... but I doubt I'll ever take up this option (I don't think my parents will have a problem with coed dorm rooms existing, though). But, jeez, can't a straight girl and a straight guy ever just be friends? According to the woman in the article, such a thing is impossible. Somebody needs to tell these parents that some kids do stuff besides sex. Shocking, isn't it?

This.

It's like you beat my ass and stole my words.

Dudes with dudes, and chicks with chicks. You shouldn't mix it up. At all. The world is becoming far to lenient. I mean, what's next? A handjob as a greeting instead of a handshake?

Post by: Kaempfer on May 07, 2008, 04:09:20 am
Having ever seen dom post before I assume he is joking!

When I went to visit my ex in her dorm none of the girls there cared that I was staying with her. Like, at all. We were all hanging out in their common room together and shit. Ever her RA didn't care. I know I was only visiting, but it's not like it was in any way hard for me to go spend time with her in her all-girl dorm, so it's not like anyone at all couldn't have got in there and had sexual intercourses with her like I did!

My point is this: Putting a locked door between a boy and a girl isn't going to stop them from having sex, and putting an unlocked door between them isn't going to force them to do it. Generally speaking, you're a lot less likely to have sex with someone you have to fucking live with (assuming you are not going out) then some random person with whom there are no consequences.

Once again I think this comes down to crazy religious folk not realizing how people actually interact at all. "If we tell people they can't do it it'll mean they'll want to do it less, right guys?!"

This topic is why I don't bother with most of the world today. I don't put myself above them like an ass, but honestly speaking, I don't want anything to do with the general public. It seems as though people with decency and moral values are either called "crazy religious people" or "close-minded." As always, people will do what they want to do, such as pretending a straight male can live with a straight woman without any sexual tension, or the fact that cohabitation is alright in the first place, but hey, whatever.

All I'm going to say is, a guy shouldn't be trusted with that kind of self control.

Guys are not as sex crazed as you think they are ok. Not only does the average guy not want sex with random girls he doesn't know about (b...but....the boobs......) but the average guy sure as hell wouldn't want to be fucking someone he has to live with, especially if they are unrelated. If that shit gets fucked up, you're not going to be enjoying your stay, as you're going to be seeing that chick ALL. THE. TIME.

no I'm saying that the expression "she's like a sister to me" actually means something. everyone isn't suddenly attracted to the opposite gender no matter what, just like you wouldn't have sex with your sister and a gaping dog's vagina won't give you an erection.

what's weird about your post is the covert sexism in it. it's always the guy who is going to be horny and "unable to handle himself" which is the same kind of justification a lot of rapists use. the women's consent isn't the issue, all men are just naturally "going to be that way" and I guess by being a woman she puts herself at risk...

I'm sure you run into plenty of women you wouldn't have sex with, even somewhat attractive ones. it'll be awkward for all of ten minutes and then that SISTER thing sets in because you can't really GET IT ON with someone whom you aren't attracted to. believe it or not there's nothing biological keeping you from having a boner from your sister. it's the same thing, I'd never have sex with, hell, most the women I know, even if the opportunity presented itself, because that would be REALLY FUCKING CREEPY

That's a good point. If someone is like a brother or sister to you, then they may as well be your brother or sister. I'm referring to situations where that is not the case.

I only mentioned men because I am a guy myself and most guys at this age, realistically speaking, have raging hormones. Regardless of the level of your self control, the feeling is still there. Living with a member of the opposite sex that you find attractive, such as a buddy, is a test of that unlike any other. Show me a guy that says he can live with one of his friends that happen to be a hot chick without having any impure thoughts and I'll show you a liar. Though it is probably the same for both genders, I don't speak for women because I'm not one myself, if that makes any sense. I don't know how their bodies operate and can only speak from the experience of being a dude.

Nope, I'm 20 and I don't really have RAGING hormones.  Sex is cool, but it is not RAGING IN ME and I am not really that driven to get it all the time (music is more important bitches get in the way etc).

Also impure thoughts?
Are you a crazy religious person?

Dude, dude, dude. I'm not calling people crazy rapists that want to have sex with every woman they see, I'm saying that living together changes things entirely. You would be in the face of temptation 24 hours a day, that is of course, if you are attracted even a little to your room mate, and if you're not, then that's not the situation I'm referring to like I said earlier.

ya, it means I'm going to be living with someone who if I did screw and something bad happened i would be hearing about it every day forever.

would avoid having sex with it like the plague i don't care if she's the hottest woman in the world it isn't worth going through hell every day possibly.

you'll notice in the article they say its people who think of them as sisters/brothers, or people who are already dating.

i don't think any college student is dumb enough to room with someone for a one night stand or something. even a sex buddy wouldn't be worth living with.

To debate coed dorm rooms is one thing but to say society today, especially among this age group, isn't obsessed with sex is almost ridiculous. I guarantee you, go to a local high school or college. 90% of the conversations you eavesdrop on will be about sex. Not even that, go anywhere. Watch a popular television channel, such as MTV or G4. A lot of the shows will be featured around sex. Watch the latest hip hop music video. They will either be about sex or feature women symbolizing it. To not have sex on the mind is to be in the minority. For one to be ignorant of that fact they would have to be withdrawn from society itself, minimum if any contact with unrelated people, and limited to no access to any forms of media.

hahaha do you just NOT GET IT??? THIS JUST IN  - THERE IS SEX ON TV

big deal. everyone knows this. The problem here is that you are assuming that every guy is a weak-minded individual with no autonomy who, because Tila Tequla says spanking schoolgirls is fun, are sex-craved lunatics who gotta fuck every woman they know.

This is ridiculous. You're the one who is falling into the media trap if you're assuming that because 100% of the young men on MTV reality shows want to bang every chick around them, that males are all like this IN REAL LIFE. Sure, you can find man-whores in every college building but to pretty much assert that GUYS CAN'T BE JUST FRIENDS WITH GIRLS is pretty bullshit!

Hint: Choosing a Co-ed dorm room does not mean a guy fills out an application, checks the box that says "YES I WOULD LIKE A FUCK BUDDY" and then gets randomly placed with a female. These are MUTUAL processes for a reason. Obviously a guy and a girl who barely know each other are not going to choose to live together. We're talking long-time high school friends who got into the same colleges and would rather room with each other than random people. Trust is kept in check because if the guy IS a sex-lunatic (which you believe to be the majority of cases) then the female friend probably knows this and will refuse to room with the guy!

Basically, you are dumb for thinking WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN ROOMS THEY WANT TO HAVE SEX. You must be in that stage of development where you want to hump everything with 4 legs and (since you have proven to us that you don't have any female friends) settle for armchairs. I guess you don't understand that guys can be friends with girls that they don't find sexually appealing... like... AT ALL. I have a few female friends who I trust a lot and talk to about my problems but no way in hell would I ever want to hump!

Whatcha talkin bout Willis? You're completely on to something I wasn't even talking about. I was specifically making a statement about society and it's fasicination with everything sex. I didn't mention people having friends who they don't want to fuck and all that, as that deals with the coed situation which I don't see the point in debating any further.

ASE, you're making statements that I have already addressed, most of them about my personal preferences and how I'm not for the idea, and I don't feel like going over them again. The only difference is that while I was intelligently able to discuss this with the others, you felt the need to throw insults around because I guess it further validates your points and also makes you feel cool?

great! it's not like the entire point of this topic was to talk about why some people would be uncomfortable with cohabitation....

the point in debating further is because you refuse to back down from your belief that if you put any guy in a room with any girl there will be "sexual tension" and they GOTTA HAVE SEX

It's something like that, but more of the sexual tension part instead of the crazy rapist mentality. Though more importantly, I'm against the idea of cohabitation. So either way, I'm against it, but that's just my belief. I'm not going to change mine, you're not going to change yours. I mean it's cool. Let's leave it at that. I don't expect everyone to agree with me or vice versa.

yes I noticed it was off topic too since I never said anything about society's oversexualizaton of everything.

protip: the oversexualization of stuff hasn't resulted in higher general sexuality but in objectifying women. if you want to stretch that objectification to increased sexual tension okay but I think that ignores the vast amount of men who while potentially oversexed will not necessarily have sex with every two legged creature with a vagina that happens to live with them.

also as ASE said no one who does this will be an oversexed loser.

Not necessarily true, but that would be the gist of the whole idea. There are
many girls who can get along better with guys and vice versa.

The oversexuality vibe I'm getting in this topic is ridiculous though.

The idea that putting girls and guys in the same room will inevitably turn into
sexual tension is flatout laughable. Saying that all guys are in essence sexual
lunatics is both disturbing, discriminating and biased. Sex may be hella fun, and
reproduction may be in everyones nature, but people who function normally
and are not assholes can in essence be great roommates.

Sure, in theory, if two people really like each other, something may happen. that's
a way of life. But when you're living together with friends, you're probably going
to aim your sexuality at someone who is not living with you (as was said before).

I don't believe the whole thing because I've been through it. I've lived together
with multiple guys and females in one house (including good-looking females) and
I really don't want to fuck them. Sure, they may be cute and have a vagina, but
you don't go around fucking your friends and roomies just because you, in essence,
could. That's just not how shit works.

I'm not denying the existence of these so called sexual lunatics, but I'm pretty sure
these kinds of things are pretty well handled. If girls don't trust the second party,
There is no way they'll be wanting to live in the same dorm, and I guess the
supervisors are very much aware of the consequences might something go wrong.

Actually, I think it would be hella fun to live in a mixed gender dorm. Girls are fun,
and only hanging with guys gets really freezin' annoying after a while. I think it's
good for ones upbringing and education to live in a mixed dorm, simply because
maybe this way people will start respecting each other more. Seperated dorms
only increase this 'sexual tenstion'.
