At least one frolicking couple at Yale University has prompted a professor to send out an e-mail reminding students that the showers are for showering.

The e-mail was sent out after a couple's romp in the shower caused the bathroom to flood and put it out of order for 90 minutes.

Professor Jonathan Holloway, a master at one of Yale's 12 residential colleges, sent out the e-mail to about 330 students. In it, he warned students against "intimate activity" in the showers.

In it, Holloway mentioned that several times already this spring term students have come across a couple having sex in the shower stalls, and urged the couple to stop or "such continued brazen public displays of affection will only invite public embarrassment. I beg of you, let's not go there."
