Anything that doesn't bond using moisture would likely pull (albeit painfully if you're a hairy dude) off sweaty skin. And I can't imagine anything that would be MORE likely to make me break a sweat than the idea of being glued to a public toilet...

Gluing a stranger's ass to a toilet seat: So Not Funny.
