    I think I've heard of these mainly in a few nightclubs
    If I'm being honest I wouldn't like to see them being introduced because as a guy I've rarely hadn't questions use a toilet and I studied and worked in hospitality before and cleaning toilets/etc came up a few times and we were always told that ladies toilets are generally dirtier than mens!

    I wouldn't have a preference towards seeing them become the norm, like I don't petition for it but it wouldn't bother me if it became the norm.

    God help women if they become the norm, in a public toilet a lad will never lift a toilet seat!

    Any sex in the toilets is good for me.

    Just take the urinal's out and they're all the same anyway.. We'll just end up with twice as many as is needed, like the pentagon.

    No. I have to share a toilet with 9 men in work(some of them aren't toilet trained - it's shocking. Animals.)

    Disabled toilets and ones in peoples homes tend to be unisex so I don't really mind if we get more.
    Unisex toilets are fine - just annoying when the men do not lift the toilet seat!

    You should bring attention of this to your boss, that is unacceptable.

    Poll lacks a simple yes/no option. What about those that don't care?

    No. I was in a nightclub in Sweden which had them. I felt really uneasy going in there, I don't know why but I feel safer with a separate ladies.

    Are we talking cubicles or individual rooms?

    Dunno if I'm ready for the former.

    I'm female. It's not that I'd like to see them becoming the norm, but I don't think it would bother me either way.

    I don't care. There's only one bathroom in many homes, and used by males AND females.

    As long as the smallest room has a flush toilet, loo-paper, water, soap and a towel and a door that locks, I care not.

    So long as they keep the urinals (which are far quicker & convenient to use for just number ones than queuing for a cubicle) I'm not too bothered either way. If unisex loos mean I have to spend half my night waiting outside a jacks then feck that.

    Few places in Dublin city centre have had unisex toilets for a while, off the top of my head 2 restaurants that I can think of. Doesn't bother me or stop me going back, it's all very civilised.

    No it wouldn't bother me at all.
    But i'm going to play devils advocate here and say: Would it not make it easier for sexual predators too assault women if they had to share toilets with men, i know they could be just as likely to assault them outside the toilet but they could be given an opportunity to do it in a unisex toilet, which wouldn't happen if the toilets weren't unisex.

    They leave it down so they can hover over it and pish everywhere.

    Are all sexual predators men? I think your 'devils advocate' skills are broken!

    No because women are much slower using the toilet then it would mean men queuing more.

    No i don't have any statistics on unreported sexaul assaults against men so can't answer that question.
    Are you denying that men commit more sexual assaults than women?

    Only if they were like American cubicles were there's an inch between the door and the frame so there could be plenty of peeping and heavy breathing.

    If they got introduced everywhere it wouldnt bother me. The way it would be. But if I had a say in the matter? nah i wouldnt like to see unisex toilets.

    Like, imagine this. You're a guy going to the toilet. All the urinals are in use. So you walk to a cubicle to take a piss but as you are doing this a beautiful woman walks into the cubicle beside you. So as youre taking a slash all you hear is is the biggest fart ever followed by a massive plopping noise :pac:


    You know what... it's not for me :pac: Whats even worse is, if you were out on a date and you say "be right back, just gonna go to the toilet" and then they say "me too" .... but it's a unisex toilet :pac:

    Someone who genuinely didn't care wouldn't take the trouble to answer a poll.
