Did/do people have sex in the library at your school?

Message Bookmarked

I got into a discussion about this today, having always thought it was a myth... Apparently not. The question remains, though, how often and where does this happen? I've never known of it at either of my universities, though at my former one it's kind of impossible that it didn't happen.

i am having sex in a school library

i don't know if i'm lame or what but public or semi-public hanky-panky (restrooms, dressing rooms, offices, etc) doesn't really do it for me

the late great, Thursday, 26 April 2012 00:16 (twelve years ago) link

i have done it on the desk in the office, in the bathroom at a party and in a dept store dressing room

wouldn't want to repeat any of those experiences, mainly because there were always other people around, it was never particularly discreet and i was always very embarrassed afterwards and felt like a degenerate

I remember some fundie xtian in Boise once trying to school me on the dangers of the university library. "HIM: My girlfriend works there and she says there's this secret part of it where people go to have sex. It's called 'the stacks.'"

every dorm residence at my college had a library, knew of one couple who made it their mission to have sex in every single one of the libraries before they graduated

It's amazing that, in my 5 years there, I never saw any clues of this at any of the dozen or so libraries at the University of Toronto (including one 13 floor, 4th-biggest-academic-library-on-the-continent behemoth, and another particularly large library I actually worked at).

here's this secret part of it where people go to have sex. It's called 'the stacks.'"

I feel like this answers everything though.

i remember there was a big front-page article on this in the daily bear, i recall they were charging kids who got caught w/ some ridiculous crime like "lewd behavior" and giving them a fine and some other consequences (academic probation, maybe?)

the daily bear?

I worked in a lib once and one of the parts of the job was to shame dudes beating off into leaving

^ I now realize i incorrectly voted no/did not know of others. One such dude was doing just that, undetected by anyone until the girl seated next to him noticed her clothes had some wet spots. A notice of the police report is still archived in the daily campus bulletin in the school newspaper.

yeah I used to work a library and there was this one senior citizen in the stacks who was there every day, using the sole computer on the floor that's meant to be used by people who want to briefly look up call numbers. he would be there for hours at a time, and he would sit there very still, only his mousing arm moving, everything else completely static. I think I might have caught what was on his screen once, before he clicked away - thing was, I don't think it was even nude porn, they were clothed.

one of the guys I worked with would be on the computers often too, he was this gentle giant who always dressed in flannel and sweatpants. I would catch him looking up star trek memoribilia on those computers.

as a voyeur I would like to complain that not nearly enough people have sex in the library or in other places where I can see or hear them

I work at a school and a rather private room of the school library is separated from my desk by nothing more than a row of bookshelves. In the 5+ years I have been working in this office, never have I heard anyone having sex. Nothing. I have, however, heard marital spats, an unknown Russian with a laptop talking on a gigantic cellphone, and lots of kids crying.

I have heard that people have done it in the bathrooms though, fwiw.

i kind of hope to do this before i graduate

No, not least because my university library had about as much privacy as a panopticon prison.

Staff apparently have sex in the basement of the British Library a lot, though.

They take it out, and 2 weeks later bring it back.
