Do you girls and guys sit on public toliet seats?

title , its just something I would like to know and I mean skin touching seat btw.

This freaks me out more than anything I've ever known - I can't use public toilets at all because the idea of sitting where so many strangers have sat with their naked arses scares the **** out of me. Not literally.

I will hold it in with dear life if I'm not at home and only when I know that I will wet myself do I go. Last time this happened was back in December 2012 when I was in Egypt and I climbed up Mount Sinai (Moses/Ten Commandments/burning bush mountain). I felt the need to go just after I left my hotel and because I knew I was going to spend 6ish hours walking up and down a mountain I had to go to a public toilet. This one wasn't extremely bad for a toilet near a mountain in the middle of nowhere. I searched through about 4 toilets until I found one with the most tissue and I went crazy covering the seat up. These toilets were just as bad as the really bad ones we get in this country. Just after I went I felt the need to go again soon after. I'm pretty sure this was just the effect of waiting around in the cold for ages whilst my sister (who was heavily pregnant at the time) and her husband (who was suffering severe food poisoning!) were deciding whether or not they wanted to go. They stayed so my other sister, brother and I start walking up the mountain. As soon as we're about 10 minutes in I tell them I need to go again - as does my sister. At home, in the UK, I can hold it in for about 8 hours on a typical day but on that damn mountain the temperature must have been something like -3 and getting colder as we got to the top. I was becoming more and more desperate to go as we got closer to the top. So, 5 hours later it's about 20 minutes past sunrise and we start making our way down. By the time we started making our way down, I swear to you I seriously thought I was going to wet myself. As we walked back to the bottom of the mountain we came to a little stop/rest thing where they had a toilet. My sister and I absolutely had to go. I think it cost 50p and we got like 1 or 2 pieces of toilet tissue. Nothing more. Walking in you could smell the awful, awful grotesque stench of **** and piss because, well, you can't really get a fully functioning sewage system in the middle of a mountain. At this point I had to grow a pair and just go because it was either that or I wet myself and spend the next 3-4 hours unable to shower. My sister went before me and thankfully she knows me well enough to know that she has to lie to me if something is that bad because if I knew the truth then I wouldn't have gone. I almost cried in that toilet. It was that bad. The didn't have a flush so everything was just flowing out somehow and I don't know, it was just so horrible. Now I know next time I climb a freaking mountain I'm taking adult nappies or SOMETHING. That toilet was just severely public.

Ah right, I was about to say why didn't you relieve yourself on the mountain, but then I remembered it has some kind of symbolic importance.
