Beauty & Style Cottaging

[Feerits Elf]

Yeah, not sure about the origin of the term. It's a weird one that's for sure.

It's from the use of "cottage" in the 18th century as a quaint way to refer to a public lavatory. As homosexuals tended to use these places for discreet encounters the term "cottage" evolved over time to mean not a public lavatory per se, but a public lavatory which homosexual men used for hookups - hence "cottaging".

Had occasion to go into toilet at Collins Place in Melb around lunchtime on a weekday

Walked in on two guys who were getting busy near the wash basins

They did not even try to hide in a cubicle although they did stop and wait for me to go about my business before resuming

My quickest toilet visit ever

hmm I don't think I can think of cottage cheese the same way ever again

Lmao can you imagine this happening in the straight world.

Ah yes will just go into the mens, drop my pants (or lift my skirt) and wait for a random gentleman to have random sexy times with.

They're called brothels.

Are the lads in toilets getting paid?

 

[Feerits Elf]

Are the lads in toilets getting paid?

Only in salty, salty goodness

Which is of course the origin of the term "salary"

Thou art most kind Feerits

But I'm too buxom a wench to be a valorous sir

This thread was not what I was expecting

 

[Catsmaninamerica]

Never appealed, I always felt it was like putting a target on your back.

Plenty of chicks have done that over the years. It's called a tramp stamp...

Isn't this just dogging?

 

[Feerits Elf]

Isn't this just dogging?

Nah. Dogging is banging in your car for the benefit of the local voyeurs.

 

[Kipz]

We never did it in cars.

 

[Feerits Elf]

We never did it in cars.

Well the car's not the essential element here.

After a lovely anniversary dinner yesterday my wife and I decided to stroll home through the Treasury and Fitzroy Gardens. Having had a few cocktails I decided to avail myself of the public bathrooms on the border of Lansdowne Street. I entered the room and was startled by a man's bare backside shining in the moonlight, protruding from the doorway to one of the cubicles.

Being a discrete gentleman I ignored this and made my way to the urinal. The chap with the exposed rump closed the door to the cubicle, made his way to the urinal and chose to closely inspect my urinal technique. I once again ignored this and finished voiding my bladder and made my way to the sink, I noticed another man leave the cubicle that the bare bottom had been protruding from. Once again discretion prevailed, I washed my hands and left.

However, I was surprised to see that cottaging still exists in this age of Grindr and the like. Has anybody else had a similar experience, or has been involved in cottaging and wants to explain its' appeal.

Bloody hell.
Let me preface my comments with:
I voted yes and have never had a problem with what two or more people of whatever sex choose to do to each other in the bedroom.

This is an issue unrelated to any of that though, public toilets are not for shagging in, if nothing else kiddies use them ffs!
If I went in for a piss and discovered two filthy campaigners going at it I would happily tell them to **** off and get a hotel room.

As far as coming over for a 'close inspection' goes!
No finishing up quickly and walking away, no "Ahem! do you mind!" or "Excuse me, how dare you!"

Physical violence is the appropriate response.
