<p>In the first place, I’m female.</p>
<p>In the second place, no, I don’t find watching porn a condition worthy of compassion. It strikes me as something that the room mate should only do when alone, if at all. (I do not feel a need to look at porn, I think few women do, but apparently it is common amongst even “normal” men. If not, magazines like Playboy would not exist.)</p>
<p>Video games, what’s the big deal as long as the room mate uses headphones or turns off the sound? </p>
<p>Perhaps the room mate is confining his porn-watching to night time in hopes that the OP will be asleep and not see it. As long as the room mate is quiet and the lights are off except for a reading light or a computer screen, does the OP have the right to demand that he adopt the same schedule as the OP? </p>
<p>The OP has gone on to say that he “doesn’t like people” and tries to avoid interaction. </p>
<p>There is more here than meets the eye. The RA should try to broker a “room rules” deal between the two of them. If the OP’s medical condition is such that he cannot tolerate ANY activity in the room during his sleep window, then he needs a single for medical reasons.</p>
