My fourth principle for living with housemates successfully is “The Incest Taboo.”
Here is an excellent first-person account of how easy it is to fall into to sleeping with your housemate. And then the heartache that follows.

But when you fall into bed, “it’s just sex” it’s hard to admit that it isn’t.
