Australian sex on seaside

London: The seaside town of Porthcawl is planning to install 'anti-sex' public toilets that would spray occupants with water and sound an alarm if they detected unusual activity.

Violent movement sensors would automatically open the doors and sound high-pitched alarms, with fine water jets soaking the interior of the units.

Please refresh the page and retry. A council in Wales has said plans for public toilets in a seaside town - with design features to deter vandalism, sexual activity and rough sleeping - were submitted in "error". Plans for the toilets in Porthcawl's Griffin Park included weight-sensitive floors and alarm features. A design and access statement submitted to Bridgend County Borough Council included water jets, set cubical use time to deter rough sleeping, and graffiti-resistant walls and floors. Weight-sensitive floors would ensure only one user could be in a cubicle at a time, to safeguard against "inappropriate sexual activity and vandalism". But Porthcawl Town Council has since said the plans were "misinterpreted" and the toilets will be of "traditional construction".

Maybe there's something in the water because Australia's beachside and coastal suburbs have been found to have the highest libidos in the country. A survey of 25, singles found the seaside towns of Coogee in the eastern suburbs, and Manly on Sydney's northern beaches, have the 'biggest desire' for sex in Australia. Sex on the beach! Single people living in Coogee pictured have been crowned with the title of having the highest libido in the country.

Who among us does not love a trip to the seaside and all that comes with it: the fresh air, soft sand, the sound of the sea and the tangy aroma we associate with it? The fresh, salty smell of the ocean is one of the most distinctive smells on the planet. While travelling for work recently, I decided to stay at a quintessential English Seaside town.
