My DH felt the same way, and I could never talk him into it. But now that I'm alone I have no such reservations. My quilting room would be "off limits", and drawers would be cleared of things like underwear and jewelry (LOL). Perhaps it helps that I have moved recently, so making the house suitable for guests would not take as long. I really hate staying in hotels and much prefer to be able to fix my own meals. I know that I would care for another person's home as if it were my own, and wouldn't go poking around in things that might be private, and I believe that the person doing the exchange would behave the same way.
