To conveniently and quickly sell a product that people want to buy in order to have safe sex. They're not just in airport restrooms but often gas stations, truck stops, bars, clubs...a movie theater near me has them.

Sometimes there will also be a machine next to it dispensing horrible cheap cologne/perfume. Back in the day, particularly in gas stations/truck stops, there might also be a machine selling these little booklets with adult images on them.
