Roomies — Part Two, DORMMATES

Welcome to Part Two of our look at how guys who want to masturbate handle the privacy challenges of their living situation. You may want to read Part One to see where we’re coming from, but to summarize, this is what’s up: Given the fact that masturbation is pretty much a part of most guy’s lives, what do we do when our living arrangements make it difficult to find that quality “alone time”? In Part One we asked you about how you handled the situation at home sharing a room with one or more brothers. In Part Two, we’re going to take a look at the situations that come up when guys are away from home and living at school. It might be boarding school, college, university, a dormitory, a frat house…you get the idea.

Going away to school and living with someone is a bit of a different game than when you lived with your brothers. You and your roomie are on a peer level so you can’t really kick him out or lock him out when you’re horny. Dormmates are usually strangers at first so it takes some time to feel them out and find out what they’re attitudes and routines are. They maybe be extremely shy about the subject of masturbation or they might be the kind of guy who sleeps naked and doesn’t care if you see his morning wood as he walks around the room. Possibly your dormmate is a friend from high school, possibly you’ve jacked off together before so the dorm room thing is already no big deal.

And then there’s the living space. Sharing a room with one or more guys can be challenging. Typically dormitory rooms are small and somewhat crowded. It’s pretty much the only home turf you and your roommate have…there’s no “rest of the house” to hang out in. Chances are you and your roommate have odd schedules and it may be hard to predict when and for how long you have the room to yourself.

Many guys away at school cope with what they are dealt with and just wait for those times when their roomies are gone to indulge in some private pleasuring. Or, maybe it’s off to the bathroom to try and find some privac. The problem here is you’re probably dealing with a communal bathroom and they’ll be others present (possibly for the same reason).

More so than with your brothers at home, here is where the “Roomie Contract” may come into play. As we brought up in Part One, this is where guys confront the situation head on with lawyer-like honesty and declaration. They pretty much have a discussion with their roommate that goes something like: “Hey, I masturbate, you masturbate, we both like to masturbate. But, we share the same room, so how do you want to handle this. Should we just ask for some alone time when we need it and the other guy leaves for a while? Should we have a secret knock so we don’t walk in on anything embarrassing? Do you care at all and should we just go for it when we want to even if the other guy is in the room?” Terms and conditions are agreed upon, the agreement is made, and the jerking ensues.

So how do you handle jerking off when you live with someone else in a dorm? Take the polls and let’s take a look…
