Male sodiers, now in Iraq, dig a hole, squat on a shovel, and defficate , in full view, and often WITH, other men. You think that a woman wants to do that ? How about when she has her period ? Shall I go into graphic details ? Well, ye know...I'm Irish, and me old bachelor Uncle has a farm with no toilet in the house..so, I've learned to live under THOSE circumstances. But would I choose it? Eh no!!! If I had a choice, I'd have a maid wipe my butt with gold leaf toilet paper! *LOL*
An outhouse or chamberpot, at least gives you some semblance of privacy, though not much comfort. OTOH, a shallow hole in the sand, which you have to precariously hang over, in the company of many others ( including men ! ) is quite different.
You want someone else to wipe you ? Not me ! LOL
