Friday Fun: Happy World Toilet Day!

Friday Fun: Happy World Toilet Day!

Okay, I am having my usual fun, here... but this is actually a rather serious day! So bear with me, just a bit, while I drop this public service announcement on your heads, before we get to the fun stuff.

The goal of this day is to tackle the global sanitation crisis and draw attention to those without sanitation. Human waste spreads deadly diseases. Toilets may seem like a mere convenience, but they save lives. They provide sanitation, which is a human right, and it’s been shown that it is nearly impossible to get out of poverty without sanitation.

One of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals is to provide sanitation for all by 2030. Today, 4.2 billion people throughout the world don’t have access to safely managed sanitation. This is more than half the global population. At least 2 billion people use drinking water that’s contaminated with human feces. An estimated 432,000 deaths occur each year because of inadequate sanitation.  

So that's the serious stuff... and something most of us take for granted. But imagine living in a city that was unlivable? 

While you ponder that, you may also take in the lighter side of World Toilet Day.

Me? I'd like to take this opportunity to honor a bit of gay tradition. You say public toilet and I say...

Tearoom time!

Sadly, our natural habitat is being consumed due to things like increased security, cameras, viruses and germs! But, for the hardcore - and I know you're out there because... well, I know you're out there - we are not going to let something like possible arrest or illness stand in our way of a good time! That's why every time I get on my knees in a public facility, I send up a tiny prayer to the patron saint of lavatory love (though I can't remember if it's George Michael or Larry Craig) to protect me from prosecution and STIs!

I offer up 75 examples of various techniques, behaviors, and activities that are all part of the great tradition of tearoom fun. Keep in mind, all activities are not available in all locations and that results may vary. But a little patience and a bit of bravery on your part? Could pay off big dividends.

And remember! 

Tap, tap, tap your troubles away, the Larry Craig way!

Wishing you all a glorious weekend.

Be good to one another and...

Be good to yourself!
