When you and your roommate both masturbate while pretending to be asleep, each keeping one eye open to make sure the other one doesn't 'wake up'.
This unintentionally awkward situation will probably occur several times during the average college semester.
Roommate 1: "Yo man I jerked off so hard last night, thank god you didn't wake up."
Roommate 2: "Haha me too..."
Roommate 1: "Oops, that was totally a mexican standoff..."

A gentlemen's duel. Two men have a staring contest completely naked, while masturbating vigorously. First one to blink or ejaculate loses, however if the semen hit's the opponent in the eye resulting in blinking, the ejaculator wins. However if the opponent does not blink after being hit in the eye, they win.
