Share a roof long enough and the subject comes up. Someone's partner starts staying five nights a week. The walls turn out to be drywall and wishful thinking. Two housemates who swore it was just a cheeky flirt are suddenly doing the 6am kitchen dance in yesterday's clothes.<\/p>\r\n

Sex in share houses is one of those things everyone deals with and nobody sets ground rules for. Until there's a problem.<\/p>\r\n

The articles collected here tackle the awkward bits honestly. When does a partner stop being an overnight guest and start being an unpaid tenant? Is sleeping with your flatmate ever a good idea, and how do you handle it when it ends? What do you do about the housemate whose bedroom acoustics could wake the neighbours? How do mixed gender, same sex and queer share houses handle the practicalities differently?<\/p>\r\n

No judgement, no prudery, no pretending share houses are sexless zones. Just practical advice for adults living with other adults.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/flatmate.com\/blog\/tag\/sex\/","name":"sex","slug":"sex","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nSex in Share Houses: The Flatmate Guide | flatmate.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dating your flatmate, partners staying over, thin walls and everything no one warns you about.
