I don't see why someone wouldn't clear up after sex.
It happens.
If you really, seriously believe that out of a full plane, a few blokes don't crack one off mid-air, you're mistaken.
Of course they do. The issue is not people doing it, but people doing it conspicuously.
If someone came out of the F toilet and announced to the entire cabin 'Ah that was a great wank, good job WH Smith still sells porn in airports' there'd be a 10 page thread about how disgusting people are these days. If it was a cabin crew member doing the same it would be even worse.
Sorry but if you come out of the toilet with a pax, that amounts to a public announcement of what you have been doing.
If crew/pax are having a wank in the toilet, nobody are going to know.
To use another analogy - if the waiter spits in your dinner, would you eat it? If he didn't tell you, yes you would. And since you didn't know, you wouldn't be in the least bit bothered. But if he tells you that he has spat on your dinner, I very much doubt you'd eat another bite.
The issue here is not the behaviour but the fact that people are aware of it.
Do I know/assume that the bloke who spent 15 minutes on his own in the toilet has been having a wank? No, I don't.
Do I think the flight attendant has been having anal sex with the pax who came out with him, yes I do, and I wouldn't be too happy about that.
