In my fluoro
shirted locality. There are at this moment, seven apartment buildings scratching
into the sky. The array of equipment brought in, by the builders to pull these erections skywards. Looks like a
small war effort surrounded by traffic cones.
With the
influx of workers comes the ever-present HSE requirements, Flags , Go and Slow
signs, Whistles and the portaloo. The ability to port a toilet into any area is
a relative new thing. But they arrive stacked on trucks, craned into position
for use. Virtually self-cleaning they are able to store the expressed liquids
in their self-contained polycarbonate shell.
Toilets,
potable and public, have
a history back to the mid 18thCentury the first modern, with a flush (in a
Victorian sense) public lavatory, was opened in London during 1852, Constructed
for the ‘The City of London Corporation’ by contractors George Jennings
of Brighton. They were usually underground. Jennings calling them ‘Halting
Stations.' charging 1d, a go.
Initial
Public use of these ‘Halting Stations' was difficult. As it was a topic which nobody
mentioned. But by 1895 Jennings had his underground public conveniences in many
British and Empire towns. With the modernisation of the late Victorian and
Edwardian periods saw the construction of free public conveniences above ground
plus a reform campaign also campaigned for facilities for women, as the early Toilets were
primarily for men.
Now in
the 21st Century a Public convenience is available in shopping
centres, public buildings, pubs and clubs, and motorway services areas. In Australia we have
National Public Toilet Map this shows the location of more than 14,000 public
and private toilet facilities across Australia for Public use
.
These small public spaces are in fact used for all manner of shenagins .We all
know this as condoms, are usually sold in toilets.
Couples, and in fact as many as will fit in, have been engaged in the primary sexual activity of mankind
in a small spaces, since we walked upright.
In Canada recently a couple was arrested for public
lewdness in a pay toilet, but successfully argued that as it was a pay toilet ,
the couple were basically in a form of
hotel accommodation. Gay code for a public toilets in the UK during 1960s was a
cottage, to go cottaging was to have anonymous sex in a cubical, It could involve
all manor of signals and/or glory or Judas holes drilled in walls to view or
perform acts .
In the present we have people using a phone to film themselves
or others polishing the purple bishop in a cubical, Posting this on Websites to
advertising services for those who want to get jiggy in small space. As we now don’t
live in the era ‘self-polluted sin and
all its frightful consequences’ (Dr. Balthazar Bekker) what I propose is
the pay mobile ejaculation space.
A 2003 study in Australia found
that men who ejaculated most (more than five times a week) in their 20s, 30s
and 40s had about a third less instances prostate cancer. Research
undertaken in Japan shows that men take 35 seconds to use a urinal, while women
take a minimum of 60 seconds to use a loo. But the average time for intercourse
is between 7 and 10 minutes. So there is a health benefit and a revenue earning
potential in all this latent sexual energy.
In that suburb of mine, before work and at lunchtime. It’s
a busy time for the ladies who operate outside as chippies, sparkies and
plumbers seek some crotch attention before another shift starts.
Over 40
years after France's May 1968 revolution spawned the slogan "pleasure without obstruction,",
Local authorities should now be looking into ways of making small public spaces
more available.
In
these times of austerity and cut backs, They could install automatic self-cleaning web friendly pay
spaces, We could then all hire The Portable
Fist Pump. In a small movable room that can store bodily fluids, We could communicate,
defecate and fornicate all at the same
time. when nature called.
The WTO declared, 19
November, as World Toilet Day.
