[QUOTE=Zsofia] Well, that and there’s almost always a line of people who are generally friendly and long-suffering, but who won’t be if they see the two of you going in together when all they want to do in life is pee and sit back down. [/QUOTE] My plan would be to wait till most people are asleep, choose a toilet with no queue, and one _assists_ the (apparently ill) other down the aisle and into the cubicle. No explanations required and it covers odd noises from within too. Just remember to not saunter back to your seat with hi-fives and a huge grin on your face… :smack: You can get arrested for that sort of thing. Si ---

[QUOTE=According to Pliny] I’ve jerked off in airplane toilets. When you get the urge and it’s a six hour flight, what are you supposed to do? [/QUOTE] Ditto. The weird thing was, I actually **did** find it kind of erotic imagining having a sexual encounter in that very place. Reason - the tight space gives you that “nowhere else to go” feeling - like being bound and gagged does. I love it. ---

For the record, this woman denies having sex with Mr. Fiennes. She claims he followed her into the can without her consent and tried to become “amorous,” but that she threw him out. Let’s not make unwarranted assumptions about her. There is no proof that anything happened. Ralph Fiennes, apparently, is not commenting, so let’s not assume this woman gave up the booty. Her version of the story makes it sound like a borderline assault. ---

I don’t believe for one minute that Fiennes just barged in uninvited. Who the hell fails to lock the bathroom door, anyway? Certainly not the pros with the millions of frequent-flyer miles. To paraphrase from one of RF’s movie roles, “If somebody came up to you and offered you… _would you do it?_” I think it was probably a [logical progression](http://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Uninhibited-Memoirs-Airline-Stewardesses/dp/0142003514). First he had her coffee, then her tea… 😃 I’m willing to bet this story’s got legs – and a future “Playboy” pictorial to prove it! ---

As for the “how,” when I was much younger and thinner, I managed an erotic encounter or two in the back seat of a '65 Mustang. The problem in an airliner bathroom isn’t the space, it’s hitting the target. I have to hang on with at least one hand just to steady myself – otherwise I end up hosing down the whole cubicle! At least the Mustang wasn’t bouncing along at 600 mph when we canoodled in the back seat! ---

So wait… Ralph Fiennes isn’t gay? Huh. “Became amorous” is one of those British euphemisms that evokes mental imagery even more debauched than what probably actually took place (at least in my sick mind). ---

Couldn’t Mr Fiennes just deny the event and save the poor girl her job? Seems like the mannerly thing to do. ---
