My boyfriend and I have to be separated for the next year because he had to move back to England. I love him to death, so we've committed to a long-distance relationship. This has worked out perfectly for the past five months because we are both so dedicated to each other, and I will be moving to England to join him next year.
The problem is that we want to keep up with our sex life, and we're perfectly fine with doing it over the internet and all, but I haven't any privacy at my house. I live with five other people and have a shared computer (which is kept in the dining room), so it makes it difficult for me to be comfortable. I'm always paranoid that one of them will wake up and walk in on me. I can't do it over the phone because it's much too expensive.
I just need to know if you have any alternative ideas. Other than this, our relationship is nearly perfect. I refuse to give up just because there's a little difficulty; he's the man for me.
So any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Buuut, this is beside the point. I have three ideas. You can take them as advice or not. It's your choice.
1ST IDEA: Buy a cheap computer for your room. This way you will have complete & total privacy & can do whatever you please. This may be out of the question & if it is, than I have two other ideas.
2ND IDEA: Get long distance calling. This isn't a good idea if you are only going to talk to your boyfriend every now and then. But a fantastic idea if you plan on talking to him a lot. This can cost a pretty penny, but it's worth it if you talk a lot to people far away. I have family pretty far away & we get to talk to them whenever we want for much cheaper. You just have to pay a monthly fee with your regular bill.
3RD IDEA: This one probably won't be much help with your problem, but it will be good to keep your relationship strong. Talk to him during the day without talking about sexual things. Then do things that night with yourself ;) That way you get the pleasure you want & still get to be with your boyfriend. Then the next day tell your boyfriend what all you did to yourself & let him tell you what all he did. This can be very fun.
Tip: If you don't get to do idea 1 & 2, try just waiting until no one is home. Then you can have cyber sex without the worry of getting caught. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
Razhie answered Monday June 26 2006, 5:51 pm: Not having any privacy is certainly a mood killer, the best way by far would be to look into buying a computer of your own (or even renting a laptop for the time you need it). I imagine you've already considered those and nixed them for some reason or another so...
You might try writing erotica for one another rather then cybering. Writing a whole erotic story, or taking turns, each adding a paragraph or two a day, might be some fantastic fun. It doesn't allow for the same immediate gratification but it can be way more creative and let you two explore your fantasies and ideas in much greater detail.
If you are an adult living with other adults you might also just want to be honest with your housemates about what you are doing. They would probably be understanding and you could develop some sort of Do-Not-Disturb sign so you can be guaranteed privacy.
