  Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Cottaging
Cottaging is a gay slang term for having sex in a public lavatory (a cottage) or for cruising for sex or picking-up sexual partners in public lavatories with the intention of having sex elsewhere.
The term 'cottage' used in this sense is predominantly British (a cottage in the general sense being a small, cosy, countryside home), though the term is occasionally used in context of the same sexual behaviour in other parts of the world.
Cottaging is more common among gay and bisexual men than among lesbians or heterosexuals, but the term can apply to the actions of people of all sexes and sexual orientations.

 Cottaging Off The Grid
The old cottage, which we'd been using for over ten years, was built in the '50s and was probably never intended to be used in the winter.
Because we only used the cottage a few weeks in the year and turned off the power when we weren't there, we were paying many times more in delivery and "debt retirement" charges than we were for the actual kilowatts we were using.
The cottage is also not their primary residence, so it doesn't have to support high demand tasks, like laundry, or extended periods of bad weather.
