"The Welsh seaside town of Porthcawl is planning to install anti-sex public toilets that would spray occupants with water and sound an alarm."

"Violent movement sensors would automatically open the doors and sound high-pitched alarms, with fine water jets soaking the interior. Weight-sensitive floors would ensure only one user could be in a cubicle at a time, to safeguard against 'inappropriate sexual activity and vandalism.'"

What could go wrong?

From "Seaside town's hi-tech anti-sex toilets will spray users with water/Loos in Porthcawl, south Wales, will feature weight sensors and sound alarms to stop anti-social use" (The Guardian).

Lots of people weigh as much as 2 people. At what point does the "weight-sensitive" floor react. 400 pounds? And what level of "violent movement" is the trigger point? Now, I'm reduced to picturing legitimate excretory maneuvers that could offend the temperamental toilet. And let's say some "anti-social" people are in there going at it. The doors fling open?! That inflicts injury on passersby.

By the way, since when are we calling sex "anti-social"? I remember when a sexually transmitted disease was called a "social disease."

"Anti-social" is defined in my dictionary (the OED) as "Opposed to the principles on which society is constituted." And "antisocial personality disorder" is "a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial (often criminal) and aggressive or violent behaviour, typically beginning in childhood and persisting into adult life, and accompanied by an inability to feel remorse or to sustain lasting personal relationships and often by misuse of alcohol or other drugs." That doesn't sound like sex.
