If it were me, the roomate? I'd be a little upset if I'm trying to study or do my homework or sleep and my roomate is having sex with someone in the same room as me. There seems little propriety to that.
My daughter is college-aged, and she is a virgin and I think she would be somewhat horrified if someone did this in front of her, as she still has the romantic notion that sex is equivalent to making love, and you wouldn't do that with a third party in the room--that makes it less special.
I think etiquette says this is just a bad thing to do, all the way around, but then, college students never have been known for making the best decisions.
Do I think there should be a rule about it though, with punitive sanctions? No, probably not.

M$Although I believe that sexual activity in a dorm with a roommate is inconsiderate seeing as that roommate has a right to be there, I think that the roommate(not having sex) should step up and say something if they are offended. Also, the school shouldn't interfere with student's sex lives, and they shouldn't have to enforce a policy that doesn't directly affect the school itself. People should learn respect for each other, and learn that if they are offended they should stand up for themselves, and not expect others, especially an institution, to do it for them.

Honestly, it is just poor taste to have sex while your roommate is in the room and in such close quarters, but if alcohol is involved, as it often is, good judgement is not always used. In that case, it might be easier to approach one's roommate. I think if the roommate does not respect your wishes, however, that the resident hall advisor should be notified before involving the higher ups at the university.
It is a tough situation. I actually started a page on it earlier, though I probably gave it an awful heading title: http://www.mahalo.com/tufts-university-dorm-room-sex-etiquette-policy

If you'll email @Lon, and tell him other related keywords that you think people might search for to get to your page (because you said you don't like the title), he can set up manual redirects for you so other similar searches will take the searcher to your page.
