Let's talk about sex, baby: Ring dance room sharing

Dear Sally,

I invited a guy I've been hanging out with to Ring Dance, and we're sharing a room at The Jefferson Hotel with my roommate and her boyfriend. I'm worried, with the drinking and all, that things could get really weird, really fast once everyone settles in for the night. I don't

want to be a bitch, but I DEFINITELY do not want to be hearing any noises from their bed. How should I bring it up?

Dear Roomie,

Sexin' and room-sharing can be a major issue in any situation, but Ring Dance has prom-style expectations. No one wants to end a supposedly magical evening with a scarring sneak peek into the sex lives of others. Because you already know the situation is volatile, the key is to have a preventative talk with your roommate. If

you guys jive well enough to willingly share your own little corner of The Jefferson, then I'm sure she won't be completely insensitive to your concerns. Explain that you don't want your date to feel uncomfortable and you're sure she values her privacy as well, so you'd appreciate

it if they kept things PG while you're in the room. If she is dead set on getting her romance on, work out a schedule with her ahead of time and pinky swear each other that you'll stick to it. No one wants to be unable to make eye contact with each other at brunch, so keep things chill.

Love,

Sally
