engdy: I've used a styrofoam mock-up, and I can tell you it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Gecko23: Yes. My paternal great grandmother lived in a house with no plumbing. No electric either. She didn't see any need for either. Staying there as a child was quite the experience.

Randy Cox: My great-aunt, Onah, and her husband, Palmer ("Pam") had only an outhouse up until about 1980. She also finally installed a phone, but only when she got it arranged such that it was a dial-out only version, so that she'd never be interrupted by that blasted thing.
djlg: Yes, still do. (I've got one at my place in the country.)
jttm: Probably when I was younger
sos1: Yes
Spielfreak: Yes, complete with a half-moon.
CDRodeffer: Yes, on my grandparents farm, and at a retreat cottage up north. My uncle still has one in active service at his lake cottage.
CortexBomb: Yes, several times while camping. Many camping places offer "rustic" sites at reduced rates that only have outhouses. This generally involves sneaking over to the pricy sites to grab a shower in the morning, but that's no big deal
