This, of course, is an issue I do not have, though that being said, I am *very* glad our Arisia room turned out the way it did, with beds being shared by people who will enjoy sharing bed with each other, and all folks who are cool and awesome.
I still had commuting as an option if nothing acceptable came up, and if I had to share a one-bed room with three 20-something guys, that would have been enough to chase me home.
But at Kripalu, for example, I spent a month in a large square room with 23 other women. (And three+ months in a long, narrow room with 23 other women, but in that case, since you could practically only see the people on either idea of you, it didn't feel as populous.) It didn't really occur to me ahead of time that it might be a problem, so I'm sure glad it wasn't one. I wonder how many others show up not realizing it might be an issue for them, only to be driven mad. But it's not like I spent much awake time in there, really.
And the thing is, in the case of an event like Arisia, I'm also only in the room to sleep, shower, and change.
Back when I first started conning, M and I always shared a room with a particular other couple, which also worked out quite well. I don't really grok having a problem with sharing space, but I totally accept that many people do, and it's not just you. :)
