no, you NEVER have to nasty up a public place by doing the nasty!
“OOOHHH WON”T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!”
(don’tknow how to code for italics here)
Yeah, at least have the decency to clean up after yourself when doing anything nasty in public. I feel we should all make a point of treating spaces that are not our own, especially public ones, better than we treat our own spaces. Always clean up after yourself, and if you’re gonna release bodily fluids somewhere other than the designated bodily fluid receptacle, it is your responsibility to at MINIMUM wipe it up after you’re done.
thejeff
It’s a shower. If you’re concerned about the actual physical mess of things like bodily fluids there probably isn’t a better place on campus. Unless you’re exceptionally vigorous, it’s self cleaning.
If it’s just that sex is public spaces is nasty – well there basically aren’t private spaces for college kids. Even their private rooms are shared.
LiamKav
With respect, “showers are self-cleaning” is very much not true.
thejeff
How are you going to dirty a shower stall during sex in way that doesn’t just wash down the drain? It’s theoretically possible, but you have to work at it. More so than basically any other place you’ve got access to as a college kid.
Psychie
@thejeff
Showers don’t hit everywhere with nearly enough water pressure to rinse everything down the drain. Seriously, run a shower for a bit, turn the faucet off, and then wait for all of the water to go down the drain, then check and see how much of it is still wet with no motion to get to the drain. ALL of those spots that are still wet are places bodily fluids could get stuck and then caked on when it dries and then become a petri dish for bacteria if you don’t wipe it down when you’re done.
Honestly, “wipe it down when you’re done” is probably a good policy for public shower stalls regardless of whether you have sex in them or just engage in the intended function as it keeps things more sanitary and makes actual cleaning easier. Heck I’ve been considering keeping a sponge in my private shower that I am literally the only person that uses it for exactly that purpose, since it would make cleaning the wall and tub easier when I do the actual cleaning since there would be less buildup of stuff.
I mean, you can be sexually active and still think public showers are gross.
In four years of undergrad, I cannot recall a single time I was tempted to fool around with a partner in the shower when dorm room was also an option.
Now, the private shower at an off campus apartment? That’s another story entirely.
I don’t think Joyce thought this plan through. She’s unwilling to touch the floor with her bare feet, how’s she going to pull off sex? Dorothy is going to have to service her while completely suspending her in the air.
Rachel is usually correct but she’s also even less likable then Mary, because Mary is fun to hate and Rachel is just the kind of person you avoid talking to whenever possible.
Mary is easy to hate because she’s so frequently wrong that no one has to really consider what the things she sees and says about our faves means about them.
Also I feel like Mary, Rachel, and Roz all exist in some sort of political alignment graph where one of the axes is reilgious atheist but I don’t know what the other axis is or who the 4th person is
Think Alignment Graph. Roz is Atheist Self-Righteous, Rachel is Neutral Self-Righteous, and Mary is Religious Self-Righteous.
Opposing SR is “Chill”, so the graph looks like this:
RSR / NSR / ASR
RN / TN / AN
RC / NC / AC
It can sometimes be harder to identify where Chill characters lie on the Religiosity Axis, as they aren’t shouting it from the rooftops. Still, I think we can put Leslie in the Atheist Chill, Becky in the Religious Chill and Sierra in the Neutral Chill categories.
Trying to decide who would be Atheist Neutral, True Neutral and Religious Neutral categories. I think we can set Jacob in Religious Neutral–he doesn’t ~want~ to be too judgemental, but sometimes he can’t help himself, so he’s not as Chill as he’d like to be. Neutral Atheist might be Jason–he doesn’t come across as a believer, but he’s just harsh enough on himself to keep from coming across as particularly Self-Righteous. I think Constance (Galasso’s daughter, whom we’ve hardly seen) might be True Neutral, but part of that is only because we know so little about her.
eh, whatever
The name of Galasso’s daughter is Conquest, unless there’s another that we haven’t seen at all.
Freemage
D’oh! You are correct, Conquest. I think my subconscious brain finds that kind of icky, and thus I constantly convert it to Connie, first, then to something innocuous from that.
Mary at least cares about something. It’s stupid and it’s bullshit and she uses it to spread hate. But she does have an identifiable thing she likes – a few actually.
Rachel is just human sandpaper. She exists to hate and hate more. She thinks she’s mature because she isn’t “fooled by anyone’s bullshit” which is easy when you don’t trust anyone and are annoyed they exist and do things.
Raidah is scum, but give me a hundred scum like that over one Rachel
Rachael is absolutely not correct here.
While shower sex can be a contributing factor to shower nastiness, the main cause is the simple act of washing one’s hair.
Other people’s hair was absolutely the bane of my college showering experience.
(Ross doesn’t count because a) he’s dead and b) his name starts with a ‘T’.)
ZombieKyrik
That makes sense, and honestly I agree. Raidah is my least favorite character, while Sal is my number 1 favorite character. Sarah is probably in the top 5 just out of spite for Raidah.
(With the exception of the janitor who broke into our dorm room on the exact day we finally started locking our door when we were gone, and stole my SLR camera and fucking-expensive-for-the-time HP-41CX calculator. Don’t feel sorry for him at all, and may he spend his life mucking out even more disgusting bathrooms and showers)
I TRIED having shower sex in college. Damn near broke my head after slipping. From that point on, my credo has been “showers are for bathing, not f*cking.”
And my college shower was INSIDE my dorm room where I had privacy. I can’t even comprehend sexytime in a communal shower, even if they’re sectioned off into separate stalls.
Eh, I had shower sex in college. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Wasn’t a communal shower, though. I did have shower sex one time at a swinger party, still not a communal shower but people were watching. That was seriously hot.
Most recently had shower sex about 6 months ago. I guess I am getting to the age where I should worry about falls more, but that doesn’t mean I’m actually gonna stop, it’s too much fun.
Also on the fun list: Hot tub sex, swimming pool sex.
Oh hey, Rachel is being normal about something. I guess even a broken clock falls from the top of the Gateway Arch and shatters into a million pieces twice a day.
Rachel why do you exist? Do you just walk around looking for reasons to hate people, or are you gifted enough to hate anyone near you? Are you capable of hating anyone as easily as you breathe? It’s almost impressive.
I have to balance out the Rachel hate in the comments with my overflowing Rachel love. She’s awesome, haha. She isn’t the most likable character (arguably the least liked?) but she’s written really well. IMO she’s kind of a reverse of Raidah where she just dodges straddling the line of being a good person and a bad person. but manages to swing on the side of good. You know. Deep down inside.
I mean, insofar as we can categorize complex characters as “good” or “bad” anyway.
Yeah, I don’t understand the Rachel hate at all. I feel like most of the interactions we’ve seen her in are her being down on people (mostly Joe), but frankly they all really deserve it (mostly Joe). It would be interesting to see her in a situation where she’s interacting with someone who’s NOT being kinda awful.
I think we’ve seen really interesting tidbits with Rachel that unfortunately have to wait their turn for lots and lots and lots of other characters’ stories, but I definitely want to know more.
…don’t fuck in communal showers, people. Just don’t. Even if you set aside the whole cleaning aspect to it, you do not have permission to force others that want to shower to either wait for you to finish or endure hearing you get each other off.
Seriously, fucking in public: Don’t do it. This should not be a complicated moral situation.
If its at an unusual time of day, that can be forgivable.
…but if you’re gonna fuck, don’t do it quick, come on, be courteous!
And no one’s *that* quiet. :D
We already know Joyce and Dotty have bad track records with having quiet sexy time when there’s someone else in the room. Sarah can surely attest to that.
The one time I heard people fucking in the showers, it was 1 AM or so. I was just brushing my teeth and I walked in on them.
Fucking in the woods or something, sure, go wild. Nobody has to be near you if they don’t want to. Fucking right next to a shared resource? Absolutely not.
I mean I’m pretty sure if I overheard someone having sex in the communal shower, I would simply leave rather than listening to them and being uncomfortable.
Sometimes you’re on a schedule and you need the shower.
OTOH, it’s less annoying than coming back up from breakfast to get the books for your first class to find the proverbial sock on the door.

Li
I mean, I would still leave.
.
I’m someone who strongly dislikes not showering every day, but if overhearing muffled sex sounds in the shower made me uncomfortable, I would just leave.
.
I really don’t like the way this keeps getting framed as “forcing” people to participate, when… no! The door isn’t locked. Joyce and Dorothy haven’t constructed a saw trap and aren’t compelling people to witness them get busy.
.
Never mind that every character’s reaction so far has been blase annoyance, because this is apparently just very normal for their college experience so far, and yet the comments keep treating it like some horrible act of sexual harassment from Joyce and Dorothy to their peers, heh.
Li
Like, brass tacks:
.
This is rude. It is NOT, however, sexual harassment, and it definitely isn’t anything more extreme than that. As sex-repulsed as I genuinely am, my boundaries end at my body: I don’t get to tell other people what to do with their bodies in public spaces, and it is so so so incredibly dangerous to let yourself start thinking otherwise. That way, genuinely, lies the criminalization of queer identifies, and it’s not even a long walk.
On the other hand, if someone’s fucking in the stall next to you, you get to subject them to your standup comedy routine while you’re listening to them get off, and they don’t get to complain about it.
Or you can just give unsolicited advice to them, like “Don’t be afraid to put the entire bar of soap in the pee hole.”
I’ve come to the conclusion that you are Chaotic Neutral, and I respect that. It’s easy to pretend to be Chaotic Neutral, but I think you legitimately fit that role.
I was in a club in college and one year over fall break we went on a group camping trip. The club was pretty large, maybe 30-40 people total–enough that I knew quite a few members, but definitely not everyone.
The campground we all stayed at was pretty big, but not so big that the couple who decided to have very loud sex one night were more than 10ft away from the tent closest to theirs (mine, shared with 2 friends).
We did the quiet-awkward-laughter thing for a bit, but after a certain point we did want to sleep, and they either didn’t know or didn’t care that everyone could hear them. I decided the direct approach would be best, and shouted something along the lines of, “Y’all, come on. It’s like 2am and our walls are nylon. Please shut the fuck up.”
That got them to pause BRIEFLY before resuming only marginally quieter than before.
So we did the next most logical step to escalate things and pulled out their tent poles.
THAT finally got the message across.
Tl;dr: Don’t keep people awake with your mostly-public fucking unless you want your tent to collapse on top of you.
Ray Radlein
We did the opposite of this in college: The guy in the dorm room next to mine one year loved to greet the weekend by blasting Neil Diamond’s Greatest Hits on his stereo on repeat.
Barely muffled by the thin walls of the former hotel, we’d be woken up by 🎶thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa UMMMNNG TO AMERICA🎶
My now-wife and I tried to retaliate by having loud sex, but you cannot defeat Neil Diamond that easily
Throwatron
okay, thats one of the funniest anecdotes im gonna read this year
I never realized just how red Rachel’s lips are.
I don’t think I’ve ever noticed them before and probably would have assumed it was lipstick.
But after looking through the archives, every random strip that I could get a good look at her, including other shower scenes, had her with red lips.
And since I don’t think people routinely shower with lipstick on, I’m going to assume those are her natural lips.
