Canadian Restaurant Encourages Bathroom Sex: The New Bacon?

Hoping to spice things up for Valentine’s Day, or perhaps to attract a different breed of customer, Mildred’s Temple Kitchen is encouraging customers to have sex in its four unisex bathrooms. According to Huffington Post, Mildred’s has long encouraged loo liaisons, but now the Liberty Village restaurant is being more explicit. “Have you given any thought to moving beyond the bedroom?” patrons were asked in a promotional e-mail. “Check out Mildred’s Sexy Bathrooms throughout the weekend of Big Love. You get the picture.”

Although there are some practical concerns (what about condoms? fluids? mess?), chef-co-owner Donna Dooher isn’t fazed. “We’ve always had little trysts in our bathrooms,” she says and points out that she’s hired a maid for the Valentine’s Day cleanup and is encouraging customers to bring their own condoms. The restaurant is also supplying furry handcuffs as part of a $55 “love hamper”—a decorative birdcage that also contains cookies, pecan squares and a cookbook.
