Love the designer sink/urinals (I’m not a guy, but appreciate well-designed things), but where’s the soap? Maybe they left it out of the photo shoot?
If guys are still poor with the aim, the sink will be nasty on the front. IF the guy decides to wash his hands, the front of his pants will get right into the wet front of the sink. I doubt that would encourage a guy to lean in and wash his hands after the first time he gets not only his pee but also the pee of others on him pants or a shirt. Okay, maybe if a porn short were playing only as water was used, some guys might wash. That would probably lead to excess water usage and lines at the sink. The pink sink should stay immaculate.
I can’t look at that and not think of the “Toilet Kitchen” in the TV show “The League”
