Is this the new anti-gay meme, that gays are using the world's toilets for sex? This seems to be coming up far too often to be anything more. I have have nver once been propositioned in a public toilet, nor have I ever seen any kind of sex act in a toilet. WTF?

Maybe I'm an idiot, but where does this say anything about GAY SEX? If the inference is the toilet is closing for PUBLIC SEX, why do you automatically assume it's GAY. I think, sometimes, HETEROSEXUAL people act out in sexually in appropriate ways, but, again, maybe I'm an idiot.

"Gums Reserve block"… insert toothless troll joke here.

"but where does this say anything about GAY SEX?"

ajax, from the article:

"The Campbelltown Council in Adelaide's eastern suburbs says it is going to demolish a toilet block in Tranmere because of complaints that it is a homosexual hang out."

I was never moved to using a smelly toilet for sex; trees and rooftops are so much more urbane. and visually persuasive. It just seems to me to be a fetish of sorts, part of the charm of which is the risk involved. It would just be no fun to those so intriqued if there weren't snopy neighbors. They are coconspiritors, it seems

I have a five mile bicycle commute to work, with one public toilet en route. And it's cruisy, and it's a pain in the *** if I have to make a stop. It's not pretty boys, either, but homeless-looking drug addicts with missing teeth and reeking of old tobacco and beer.

In other words: it's not a usable toilet unless you really, really need to go.

Sometimes I read these reports and wonder if they're motivated by phobia. There are others, though, that seem based on legitimate concerns.

There are definite forms of sex that have fear or risk as an element. I've always just thought that it was too smelly not to be distracted.

Your point about phobisa is well taken. the world we live is so full of anal retentive people, that they need everynook and cranny of life to look like a well set table. That extremism extends to society as a whole: not place to hide. A good psychological justification for upbraiding human rights and privacy.
