What happens in the bathroom stays in the bathroom

From the Atlantic, on public facilities: "The public collides uncomfortably with the private in the bathroom as it does nowhere else, and the unique behaviors we perform stem from a complex psychological stew of shame, self-awareness, design, and gender roles. (It) comes down to boundaries — the stalls and dividers that physically separate us, and the social boundaries we create with our behavior when those don't feel like enough. In an increasingly sex-positive culture, it seems bathroom issues are the last thing most people are reluctant to talk about."
