'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This may be true of ladies' rooms, but I've been in many men's rooms where it seems a previous user must have been a monkey enamored by the aerodynamic properties of his own by-products.
Studies have shown that women's bathrooms are, on average, MUCH dirtier than men's.
I tried squat toilets in India.
Is it wrong that I first read this as Indiana and DIDN'T do a double-take.
I don't have the necessary balance or flexibility.
This may rule out mile-high sex as well.

Really? I found them very easy to use, and I'm hardly the most graceful or flexible person. How did you manage, then, if you couldn't use squat toilets?
If I try to squat, I fall over backwards before I can get low enough. There were enough Western-style toilets for me to manage. (All BYO toilet paper, but then, so were the squats.)

I'll take your word on the statistics, but from my personal experience that would have to mean that women's restrooms actually use feces as a construction material and just hollow out depressions in piles of it for patrons' use.

Once again I must advocate for squat toilets. Seriously--given the choice between sitting on a public toilet seat and squatting over a hole in the floor, I'd take the latter any day.
I think they're easy enough for me to use, but when people miss (and, lo, they did) it's so much worse.
Actually, worst was someone who'd evidently come from a long tradition of squat toilets, and was faced with a strange "conventional" one. Dump missed the bowl entirely, and just sat there on the seat.
HOW DO YOU NOT NOTICE????

The irony is that this is probabally because said malefactor is trying to avoid any contact with the seat, but won't clean up his own mess.

To look at, yes, but since using a squat toilet doesn't involve touching anything, they're much more sanitary. (Unless, like me, you can't use them without falling over backwards, in which case they're narsty and a little bit dangerous.)
