What happens when you end up in the wrong bed?
Many of the responses we had to the survey were about the consequences of hooking up with a flatmate. Some were good, others not so good....
Cheryl from Greater London said that "Nothing too interesting happened (besides the usual).. but it was in the first week of me moving in and I was hopelessly drunk (my welcome to the house party)... needless to say the next 12 months were fairly akward."
Leon, also from Greater London, must've thought he'd died and gone to heaven with this living arrangement. "Our bedroom doors overlooked each others, so we both knew when the other wanted sex, as we'd be able to see each other from within our own rooms. The relationship lasted 2 years."
Tamara from West London didn't have much luck after her tryst, managing to offend the rest of her house. She says "The other people in the house would not talk to us, and one of the women cut up a dress she had given me". Catty!
Kathryn from London didn't have much luck either and sent in this tale of woe. "It all went wrong. we slept together, thought we were friends beforehand - but we stopped talking and never really spoke again. It just went weird!"
So what's the verdict - yay or nay for sleeping with flatmates? Have you done it? What happened? Leave a comment or send it in to me and I'll post the best responses here!

what I'd like to know is what proportion of people lose their virginity to a flatmate?

Good question Peter, and I think I'll address this as a separate posting.

I used to share with loads of girls.
Slept continusly with 1 (shared with 2) over 7 months, and before + after she moved out. She's got a kid now. It was great!
The blond from Sweden was faboluos! Anytime, everytime! We had a fantastic year together.
Just go in to her room if I felt horny, and vice verse.
Love sharing with girls!!

I had a boyfriend that I used to bring to the flat. My flatmate, who was one of my best friends, didn't like that, infact he hated it. When I caught my boyfriend cheating on me he was there to hold me as I cried..... It turned out he was jealous, I ended up sleeping with him. We dated for 2 years and then he proposed to me. We got married last fall.

That's sweet, Rachel. That's healthy jealousy. He loved you then, loves you now.
