Porthcawl is known for its scenic seaside promenade and the Harbor Quarter, but it's now known for another thing: fully armed, anti-sex rest-rooms. The town from South Wales is serious in deterring thrill-seekers that prefer to do their deeds inside public toilets.

The community is so determined to stop voyeurism that they are planning to install squealing alarms, doors that shoot open and spray cold water.

The local government unit of Porthcawl has started their movement, with proposals to replace its Griffin Park toilets with models that deter "inappropriate sexual activity and vandalism."

According to Wales Online, the new high-tech toilets will cost the Porthcawl Town Council at least $200,000. Users will also be urged to pay before use; the committee has yet determined the fee to access the upcoming porta-potties.

According to sources, movement sensors will be placed inside the toilets that will react to "violent" activity. Additional weight sensor units will also be installed to detect the entrance of more than one person, triggering deterrent actions.

The toilets were also intended to prevent people from sleeping inside. If a person remains in the potty for too long, a warning notification will play, while lights and heating will be turned off simultaneously.

In the project blueprint, the public toilets will include a high-pressure floor and wall washer, which activates after a person uses the potty. A programmed 10-minute "deep clean" process will take place every night.

Mike Clarke, a member of the Porthcawl town council, told Wales Online that "Rebuilding the public toilets is an important element of Porthcawl." He added that its the committee's "ambition to ensure that Porthcawl is a great place to live, work and to visit."

However, not all are pleased with the new high-tech porta-potties. The initiative has drawn harsh criticism online, suggesting that the public toilet's deterrent system could "humiliate" users.

A person commented on a popular social media platform that "Weight sensitive floors" could trigger if a heavy person uses the toilet. The commenter added: "what about people who need assistance? I have to go in with my kids."

Another noted: "This is terrifying. I'm a disabled person who falls a lot and occasionally needs assistance." He insists that the new potties are not safe. He appended, "am I going to have to need to start looking up whether I'll be able to use public conveniences without violent and humiliating consequence."

The existing toilets will be closed for demolition in October to make way for the high-tech facilities.
