Im wondering does tarl or anyone actually use the bathroom. not literally the room but does the books ever make mention of the bodily functions and if so when did it start?

Answer
Many times throughout the series people (and a Kur) are shown relieving themselves, either directly or by inference.
Without spending a great deal of time searching, here are a few instances I found:

In the center of the street is a gutter. It seldom rains in Tor, but the gutter serves to collect waste, which is often thrown into it, through open doors, by slaves.
Tribesmen of Gor     Book 10     Page 38


I sat forward, as far as I could, listening. I sat on the stone, on straw, soiled, which was scattered on the floor to absorb wastes.
. . .

I distended my nostrils, screening the scents of the room. I rejected the smell of moldy straw, of wastes.
Tribesmen of Gor     Book 10     Page 115


The cell had been cleaned, straw and wastes removed, rinsed down; most of the blood had been scrubbed from the stones; behind remained, here and there, only some stubborn, darkish stains; new straw had been spread; the kort rinds had been taken. Little remained to give evidence of the conflict which had earlier transpired in the chamber.

We had then been permitted to ascend to the deck, to empty the wastes and seepage.

After a time it stirred. Then, with an ease, an indolent smoothness of motion startling in so large a beast it sat up on the platform, regarding me. It blinked. The pupils of its eyes were like dark moons. It yawned. I saw the double row of fangs, inclined backward in the mouth, to move caught meat toward the throat. It blinked again, and began to lick its paws. Its long, dark tongue, too, cleaned the fur about its mouth. It turned away and went to a side of the room where it relieved itself. A lever, depressed, released water, washing the waste away.

"And Poalu loves me, too," he said.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yes," he said, "once when I took feasting clothes to her father's house she threw the urine pot at me."

"That is a hopeful sign," I said.

Imnak relieved himself, icing the runners.
