There must be two types of people/couples. Those that prefer privacy and those that don't care.

I’ve actually ended otherwise decent relationships early because the other person was way too coy/upset with bodily functions like farting and pooping. If we’er sleeping together I expect us to be farting together. And if we are living together I expect us to be using the toilet in front of each other. Anything less is both inconvenient and reflective of deep personality conflicts that will never be resolved.

I have never in my life imagined that someone might break up with another person for the sole reason that the person refused to poop in front of them. That is honestly wild to me, but I appreciate your perspective, thanks for sharing.

A lot of them are becoming barn style sliding doors, with large gaps. So if you’re making some noise, everyone will hear you.

People make noise when they piss and shit. It’s not scandalous.

Well, I still don't wanna make everybody in the room have to listen to my grunts as I push out an unhealthy binge-drinking hangover turd followed by a liter of flatulent gas and and liquid spraying into the bowl. I like my privacy, kthx.

If it's not scandalous, can I shit in the lobby trashcan? If the hotel wants me to have an audience, might as well...

I’m glad that someone has built this and made it their personal crusade, but this is a problem that I can’t relate to having. I find it far more uncomfortable/intimate to sleep next to someone (even if in separate beds) than to shower or use the toilet in front off someone. Snoring, farting, dream talking, morning erections, etc.

Somehow I seem to be in the minority with this opinion. But if we’re sharing a room we’re probably pretty comfortable with each other.

Impossible to sex near that painting as the speaker will begin talking at you half way through!

"To sex" is to determine sex (gender.)

If someone says "I am sexing your mom" on the internet, that is definitely not what they mean.

But it is a good argument for privacy.

A toilet door is a basic no brainer. Unless you want any others to watch or - if travelling alone - you want your bedroom area to smell the same as your freshly shat-in toilet... But then hotel do dumb things like fully enclose a barfridge in a cupboard too.

I hate to say it, but lowkey airflow is not stopped by doors.

It probably is.

Door closed + extractor makes gaps have negative pressure, no way anything goes into the room.

Huh.. I've stayed in over 1,000 hotels and Airbnbs over the last 15 years and not once saw a bathroom with no door. Lots of bathroom windows, but always some kind of door.

Lowes hotels at Universal Orlando has them. Worse is they sometimes just slide open on their own.
