Sex in restaurant bathrooms is a Washington, D.C. epidemic (apparently)

According to a story in the Washington City Paper, D.C. has an epidemic of sex in restaurant bathrooms. Yes, you read that correctly. When not making policy or keeping our democracy afloat the citizens of D.C. are apparently doing the dirty in the W.C.

Hetero, homo, whatever category your average political marriage falls into, according to local bar and restaurant owners the trend is across the board. When people talk about there being “something wrong with the culture of the capital,” I think this is what they’re talking about.

This country is so in the toilet. May God have mercy on us.

As long as it’as homo-sex...hey, no big deal. Just another expression of love.

Hetero-sex, on the other hand....that’s just nasty!

(I don’t REALLY think a sarc tag is needed, k?)

What do you expect from an imperial dying culture?

Given the price of hotel rooms in DC, this is somewhat understandable.

Dude, did you notice that it's the San Francisco Chronicle reporting on this?

[JennysCool]

Everybody in DC seems to believe they’re living in a slick, softcore political intrigue miniseries on Showtime.

There aren't enough private rooms at Capitol Hill’s Brasserie?

I guess they are taking a page from our former N.J. gov. McGreevey’s play book. He really was a head of his time.

"BRAVO!"

It also has a massive alcohol and drug problem.

I used to live there - it has TWICE the per capita alcohol consumption of other cities its size.

Prostitutes are everywhere, especially in the 4 and 5 star hotels. The piano bars of very expensive hotels have nothing on a Nevada chicken ranch.

Sodom and Gomorrah on the Potomac.

Was that the famous waitress sammich?

[Popman]

I am assuming most of the sex taking place are in decent clean restaurants...with middle class DC bureaucratic drones doing the various different versions of the nasty with each other...

So it's OK...just clean up after yourselves and keep it to a low roar...

Now sex at a Waffle house, that's just gross...

This from the San Francisco Chronic? Sure - because there aren't any glory holes in SF, right?

I might point out delicately that heterosexual sex is rather difficult (but not impossible) to effect in a public bathroom. So is lesbian sex. Anonymous male homosexual sex, however...can I still say that?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Well played!

[Trod Upon]

Gotta be mostly homosexuals. What straight man wants to get amorous amid the stench of a public crapper?

[Scoutmaster]

Yes. There was no sexual intercourse involved.

A private room in the Brasserie was the site of Kennedy's rutting with a lobbyist, however. He should have alerted the server in advance. Cadillac Eddie apparently liked private rooms at the Brasserie.

For the queers that’s a normal sexual odor.

[Jack Hammer]

Seems only appropriate somehow that politicians are now doing in restrooms what they’ve been doing to the electorate for the past five years.
