On the most recent episode of Million Dollar Listing New York, a guy wanted to sell his bachelor pad (for $25 million) or rent it for $25,000/month. He wound up renting it for $23,000/month. In any case, one feature he mentioned was that the sink in the bathroom was specially designed to be able to hold two people and was re-enforced to hold up to 500 pounds. He sort of winked and the real estate agent got a smirk and he said this was something only “certain people” would appreciate. He showed the apartment to a few people and only mentioned this special feature of the sink to a couple of single guys - once again with a wink and a nod. This sink was a normal looking, sort of square sink counter that looked to be maybe three feet square, with the sink bowl and faucet in the middle. It was average height. For anyone looking at it, it appeared to be a “normal” bathroom sink. Now, I am no prude and in my youth I had gone around the block, many times around the block as a matter of fact, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out what you would/could do on that sink that would require it to withstand up to 500 pounds and let two people be on it? I can see perhaps one person sitting on the sink but that faucet would be shoved in your back - can’t be fun. And it was fairly small, so if you both stood on the sink, there isn’t much maneuverability. Plus it was fairly high off the ground, so two people standing on it would be challenging without falling off. So, what is the kinky sex idea of having a bathroom sink that is about 3 feet square, with a normal sink bowl and faucet, relatively high off the ground, that can hold two people? I must have missed out on Kink 101, Chapter 7. ---

You keep saying “sink.” Once you said “sink counter.” Do you mean “vanity”? My first guess either way would be shaving your nether regions. Or having someone else shave them. ---

The real mystery is what you could do in this sink that you can’t do in a standard bathtub. ---

Well, in an apartment like that I have no idea. If I am going to get banged on a sink it is usually because I am getting a quickie in a restroom at a bar, restaurant or other public place. But in an apartment I can use any comfortable place or room, why do it on a sink? ---

> [@Lobohan](#): > > Sometimes you must paint when and where inspiration strikes. I’m gonna 2nd what Lobohan has said. It’s built to have sex on. I don’t think there’s anything especially kinky about it, other than some people might want to roleplay that they are in a bar or a night club and they are getting it on in the restroom. They might even log into craigslist and find somebody willing to stand in as the bathroom attendant. ---

Why don’t we do it in the sink? Why don’t we do it in the sink? Why don’t we do it in the sink? Why don’t we do it in the sink? No one will be watching us~ Why don’t we do it in the sink? ---

I think it may have something to do with the mirror being nearby. People are stimulated by seeing themselves. Of course if that mirror breaks, have fun explaining it all at emergency. ---

I must have missed out on Kink 101, Chapter 7. Me too, I didn’t get it. role playing schmole playing, it was a basic vanity. What was up with that selller anyway, “don’t really try to sell it for me just see what people will offer” the GQ dude is so annoying so is that Sven guy. but entertaining ntl. ---

They spent all that time on the sink, and they didn’t mention the grab bars on the walls, or the reinforced ceiling where the trapeze attached? ---

I’ve never heard of a bathroom vanity fetish, but maybe that explains the hidden message in the 2010 song by [Natasha Kills, _Mirrors_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4By_cfI_1g). \*Turning the lights out, burning the candles And the mirror’s gonna fog tonight Turning the lights out, tighten the handcuffs And the mirror’s gonna fall tonight Sex, love, control, vanity Sex, love, control, vanity Sex, love, control, vanity And the mirror’s gonna fall tonight\* ---
