Housemates not being discrete whilst tending their physical needs
First let me say - I acknowledge - we all got physical needs.
Is what it is.
Some physical needs however, must be addressed with quite a deal of discretion - depending on the company to some degree but, in general, for men at least, you want to make it as covert an endeavour as possible.
So, by example - I'm sharing a room with this dude.
Five of us in teh house but, me and this dude share a room.
About 11 pm, I'm in the kitchen with the other dudes, decide it's time for bed.
I go in the room, see this dude has his reading light on, and makes no secret what so ever over the fact he's looking at a nude picture of a lady in a tabloid newspaper.
"Real subtle", I'm thinking, but I trust he's dignified enough to not do what a man normally does with such a photo, when he's alone in a room, in bed, by himself.... etc.
I get in my bed, lights go out.
A few minutes go by.
Kind of silently at first - I thought maybe it was the leaves rustling outside - then I remember there's no trees for miles around.
"Chik-chik-chik-chick-chik-chik-chick-chik-chik-chick-chik-chik-chick-"
"No!", I'm thinking.
Surely freakin' not.
Mate - I get it's under the covers but, do you really think I can't hear that?
About a minute goes by,
He seems to have abandoned prudence entirely, and the room is basically filled with the sound of pounding meat;
"CHIK-CHIK-CHIK-CHIK-CHIK-CHIK-CHIK-CHIK-CHIK-CHIK-CHIK-CHIK".
I flick on my bed side light, illuminating the room.
His bed covers which had been vibrating, go flat.
Hop out the bed, back to the kitchen for a half hour - let this dude finish what he's obviously determined to get done, then back to bed.
My take on the situation was - at least go to bathroom.
In retrospect, that was probably pretty tame.
I've heard through the grapevine that, dorms at all boys boarding schools can exhibit similar shortfalls of prudence.
