It would suck for a traveling family, though. The parents would be fine seeing each other, nothing they haven't seen before, but with kids there would be some serious issues.
It's going to be ping pong, though. If Airbnb has another big scandal with someone having hidden cameras in the space, people will go back to hotels. If the hotels keep doing shit like this, they'll risk Airbnb. Rinse and repeat.
My thoughts exactly. My family always used our hot tub in the nude, bathrooms were only locked when going #2, etc. It normalizes and desexualizes the human body in a healthy way. I feel like the US's puritanical culture honestly causes more harm than good with this one.
The puritanical culture is still way to prevalent in some areas of the U.S. I've straight up met guys that started getting weirded out about other people being close to their siblings and holding hands with them/friends. I think their minds are so warped from being so deprived of human touch
My daughter is adopted and has severe ptsd from abuse at bio home. Her seeing us naked would be extremely triggering. Any hotel like this would be an immediate no.
It’s just a cultural difference. I haven’t seen my parents naked since I was so young that I had no qualms about barging into bathrooms where people are showering, and my parents weren’t even okay with that, they’d cover up as fast as possible and make me leave. That’s pretty standard in America. If you’re older than like 3 you don’t see your parents naked.
Yes. But also they do want certain demographics of customers to look elsewhere. It’s more difficult and expensive to cater to everyone at the same time - sometimes impossible.
For example, business travelers don’t want to hear kids running and yelling down the hallways. Families don’t want a bunch of intoxicated adults flirting with each other at the pool during happy hour.
Whatever it takes to increase room bookings without getting customers to start looking elsewhere.
People will only know to book multiple rooms at a specific hotel if they know it has this issue with the bathrooms. If they know it has this issue then why wouldn't they book another hotel?
yeaaahh my family booked 2 rooms when we travelled but I dont wanna see my brother naked in the shower or taking a shit any more than I wanna see my mom.

Forget where I saw it, but someone put forth a theory it's to discourage business travelers from sharing rooms
