I’ve heard every excuse, from making sure people aren’t doing drugs, jerking off, or having sex in there. The assumption being that if people are given total privacy they’ll be up to “no good” in the bathroom stall. I don’t know if any of that is true, but I once went to the men’s room at a big-city library, and discovered the stall walls were only 4 feet tall. (If that was meant to prevent drug use it wasn’t working, there were a couple dudes in there doing the fenty lean, but I didn’t see anybody fucking, at least.)
Public library where I grew up had full height stall walls, but the doors had been removed. There were always several homeless people shitting in there. But hey, at least they weren’t fucking, right?
As someone who worked retail for many years when I was younger, I can assure you that it is absolutely true. People get up to insane shit in public restrooms.

So the non-private pooing is actually continuous with American moral puritanism. That makes sense.
And moral paranoia!

Depends. What takes up a stall for longer, a good fuck or a good shit?
A good fuck should last much longer than a good shit…
