Yes, the local comprehensive sink is a horror show of sexuality.  I 
would have thought that the fact that the little horrors (meaning 
Hogwarts pupils in particular, and teenagers in general) were under 
the same roof would be a licence to .... pick your term.  

Perhaps there's an anti sex mechanism like the anti apparition thing?

Otherwise the Room of Requirement will be .... required all the 
time...

Sniggers in typical British way.
