A toilet is a piece of furniture designed for urination and defecation.
A toilet is a plumbing fixture primarily intended to dispose of human excreta: urine and fecal matter. Additionally, vomit and menstrual waste are sometimes disposed of in toilets in some societies. The word toilet describes the fixture and, especially in British English, the room containing the fixture. In American English, the latter is euphemistically called a restroom or bathroom. The latter term often describes a room that also contains a bathtub. A room with only a toilet and a sink is sometimes called a half-bathroom, a half-bath, or a powder room.
There are two basic types of modern toilets: the dry toilet and the wet (flush) toilet, the latter being the most commonly known producer of blackwater. The dry toilet needs no plumbing for water input or evacuation but is often coupled with a ventilation system.
Prior to the introduction of modern flush toilets, most human waste disposal took place outdoors in outhouses or latrines. However, the ancient cities of the Indus Valley Civilization, e.g., Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, which are located in present-day India and Pakistan, had flush toilets attached to a sophisticated sewage system and other forms of toilets were used both in the time of the Romans and Egyptians as well. Although a precursor to the modern flush toilet system was designed in 1596 by John Harington, the toilet did not enter into widespread use until the late nineteenth century, when it was adopted in English upper-class residences.

Toilets and spanking
The western style toilet with its chair-like nature lends itself to be used as a seat in many spanking positions, partially OTK, when the spanking takes place in a bathroom or a restroom.
Toilets and discipline
Toilets can be used as part of humiliation punishments by forcing a lack of privacy in their use, partially in reenactments of toilet training or punishment enemas.
