This is tricky. There is IMO no good technical way to implement the requested features without breaking core human respect of the users.

What would be a better approach to the problem? What about an approach like the one regarding smoking in hotels: make it forbidden, but accommodate it so that it wouldn't be as much of a bother?

For hotels it means providing an ashtray. For toilet sex it could be an interesting experiment!

For a city where violence against sex workers was an issue, they implemented designated, lit but private parking bays where sex work is legal. They also had non-vehicle booths for the same thing. I don't know how well it went, but it is certainly in line with what you were thinking.

A certain quote from Jurassic Park about scientists being preoccupied comes into mind...

What's the problem we try to solve regarding toilet sex? Is it the existence of it or are there side effects we want to mitigate?

Provide a condom dispenser and a black leather sofa?

The hotels that I use deal with smoking by providing a smoke detector not an ashtray.

The issue with the toilet is that a parent might need to go into it with a child so making an accurate detector system is hard.

You can cover the smoke detector.
