The main idea is that pawn's behavior can be different when there are other pawns in the same place or when there are no.

For example, you can notice that now in Rimworld Lovin' takes place no matter whether bedroom is shared or not or whether there are witnesses.
The same with narcotics/alcohol usage.
And art.

However in reality majority won't do Lovin' when there are people around.
Part of narco users won't inject narcotics when others are looking.
Part of booze consumers don't like others seeing them drinking.
Part of artists dislike doing art or won't do art when others are looking.

(And actually the same with many labor-intensive tasks that need concentration.
"Go away, Greg, I'm disassembling mechanoid here")

Part of people just gets a mood boost when there is nobody around.

It would be nice if this could be implemented in some form.
