I'm not sure if this is 100% correct, but I don't think STDs can survive on the toilet seat for long without a human host. I think that as soon as they're... "left there" by the original host, they will die on the toilet seat in the time it takes for another person to sit down, thus leaving you disease free. I also don't think you can catch an STD from a doorknob. Same idea applies. The exception? The cold and/or flu viruses.
It is nearly impossible to get an STD or crabs from a toilet seat. Most STDs are only transmitted during sexual contact, either by skin-to-skin contact or through body fluid exchange. I really doubt people are getting that intimate with restaurant toilets. If you're really worried, put on an extra cover or something. As for crabs, their legs are able to climb through pubic hair only because of the way their legs are spaced. That's why you don't hear about people getting crabs on the top of their heads; it's the wrong type of hair. On a porcelain toilet seat, they'd fall right off.
#71 -- Hovering is a girl's best friend. I refuse to do anything but in a public toilet. #113 -- While all very interesting commentary on crabs, I can tell you I've brushed more than a few off the seat into the toilet water when cleaning the seat before sitting (this was before I caught on to the hovering concept). The idea that they'll skitter right off porcelain would be a nice one to believe, but the seat surface is still flat enough that they can hang in and wait for the next victim. No thank you.
118 - Hovering is a girl's best friend? I guess I don't have a best friend then. Poor me. What's stopping you from putting a few sheets of toilet tissue down on the seat? Crabs can't crawl THROUGH paper. Even better, brush them off if you see them (I never have...) and THEN use the tissue as a liner.
#118 & #121 -- Covering the seat isn't necessary. Hovering works great. What do you have against it? No muss, no fuss, saves on paper. #121 -- Please. It's not rocket science to recognize that the teeny critter sitting and waiting on the seat is a pubic crab. They can and do spread from victim to victim through public toilets. At my age, it would be naive to go with you on denying that it happens.
123 - Have you researched the likelihood of the pubic lice traveling from person to person via a toilet seat? I suggest you do that... In 99% of cases, pubic lice is obtained through sexual contact. PERSON to PERSON. Not person to toilet to person. EDIT: No, the other 1% does not mean you get it from toilet seats. Actually, my numbers are just a guess-timate, so it's likely that it's more than 99%.
No, I won't. I know the stats say that it's 99-point-something percent unlikely you'll get crabs from a toilet seat, and the same value goes for it being likely you'll get it from sex (if you get it). I'm just not sure of the actual decimal, which is why I called it a guess-timate and rounded it to 99%. My point (and RBG's) is still valid.

Jewelofagal, you are truly a naive woman. You did not see any tiny critters on a public toilet seat. I know you didn't, because when a toilet is flushed the suction alone would rake in any type of tiny creature. Do you know how small pubic crabs are? Not only that, but RBG is right when she says they can not "hang on" to a toilet seat. They would slip right off. They do not have any form of grip and will not stay on for any period of time. The only thing that should hover in this world, is an aircraft. Now, I can't speak for the size of your ass, but I'm going to assume it's not the size of a Navy jet.
