Sex In The Toilet
Although I myself have not (so far as I know) spent much time at bars or clubs or parties where the other guests are routinely stealing away into the “bathroom” (let’s be honest and call it the toilet, since that’s what’s in there and that’s what any busy one smells like) for quickie sex, it’s become something of a trope of modern partying. And apparently it goes on quite a lot in certain horny and impatient circles.
Kids these days, they think they invented sex in all its forms. Usually, they didn’t:

“Kids these days, they think they invented sex in all its forms. Usually, they didn’t:”
Indeed. Remember 1960’s-era Astrological Sign Sexual Position posters? (if you say yes, we’re old enough to really discuss…)
There was a time when I truly believed my (our?) generation had actually invented those creative moves. I suspect that kids in every generation believe they’ve contributed something new and different to the human zoo. If there had been an Internet in 1969, guess who would’ve been naked web-camming on it? Did Generation X invent this new past-time? They’ll swear they did. What counter-arguments can we offer? Polaroid cameras! It’s all about availability.
Actually, “toilet” is even more of an euphemism than “bathroom”—it’s just an older one.
Er, I’m only seeing two people…
Dorphin, euphemism for what?
If there’s a single word for “the place people go to shit” that’s not a euphemism, I don’t know what it is. (Some people suggest “crapper” but that’s disputed; I’ve also heard “shitter” but I’d consider that somewhat non-standard, or even a jocular usage.) For best clarity, all we can do is use the older euphemisms that have lost most of their obfuscating quality. “Bathroom” certainly has not, yet.
well, shower-room just doesn’t have the same ring, right? some bathrooms don’t actually have toilets in them, in Australia the toilet is often in a separate room, allowing one person to ‘answer the call of nature’ while another person showers (although this may lead to cries of “OW, hot water!” and “Sorry! *snigger*”).
But back to the first point. Ever since people discovered it was fun to have sex and then other people told them they shouldn’t do it in public, they’ve been finding places to do it and re-inventing ways of doing it. yes, the karma sutra (and other such ancient texts) describe just about everything you can do in bed (and some that require other props), but not everyone has read all of them, and sometimes it’s fun to re-invent the wheel(barrow position).
IIRC there is a single French word for “Water Closet” probably so in a few languages…
