Do you really care who sucks your dick on the other side as long has he is talented?
I don't really care who is on the other side as long as I have every reason to believe that he or she wants only to worship my dick and not do something untoward or painful to it. Similarly I don't really care who is attached to the dick that I'm sucking at a gloryhole as long as it's a nice looking clean dick that I can enjoy servicing.
At one end of this spectrum I've totally enjoyed sucking and being sucked by guys that I would never want to be in bed with. At the other end of the spectrum I've met some guys at the gloryhole who I totally clicked with and wound up spending time in bed with.
I really don't get gloryholes - one of the main points of sex is that it's interacting with another person, so what's the point of gloryholes, if i were a man I'd rather have a good old wank.
Agreed, SpoiledPrincess, that THE main point about sex is human interaction. Making love cannot be accomplished through a gloryhole. When I need the full passion of sharing the intimate love making experience with another human being I absolutely need to be in the arms of a woman with whom I share mutual interests, physical compatibility and especially trust. And, even though my sexual encounters with men don't reach the full amorous passion as what I experience with women, to really enjoy another guy sexually I need to know him well and have that same level of mutual respect before sharing my bed with him.
But the gloryhole experience is not about love making it's about the pure, hedonistic experience of genital stimulation and climax. For me the whole point, as you ask, about gloryholes is that they put all the emphasis on the cock that is sticking through them. That's true for both the owner of the cock that is being worshiped and the person(s) worshiping that cock. The first time I received a blowjob through a gloryhole I came much more quickly than I ever would have expected. And that was because, with the rest of my body pressed up against the inanimate partition, all of my sensory perception was directed to what was happening to my cock and balls. It was one of the most intense orgasms I had experienced to that point and one I'll never forget.
Now, many blowjobs and gloryholes later, I almost never reach orgasm solely by having my dick sucked. If I'm in bed with an attractive lady who I have strong feelings for and she really wants to do nothing more than please me with her oral talents it can still happen. And in bed I routinely reach orgasm while being sucked when in the 69 position, either with men or with women. Call it maturity, maybe I've finally grown up, but now it is me giving my partner her or his sexual pleasure that brings me so close to the edge that continued sucking of my own cock causes me to lose it. And that applies to the gloryhole as well, I can bring myself to the "edge" by sucking a nice cock through a gloryhole and then feed my own dick through that gloryhole for reciprocation and quickly reach climax.

Why is it called a "gloryhole"; how did this name come about.
Just wondering!
I've read and heard a lot of opinions as to why it is called a "gloryhole" and don't really know for sure what the etymology of the word may be. There are historical gloryholes in sailing and mining, a small locker to the aft of the ship and the point at which a shaft strikes the mother lode, that could metaphorically apply. But for me, as in my response to SpoiledPrincess above, it's all about paying homage to the "glory" of the penis. And again that should be true for both parties, giver and receiver.
As for previously stated concerns in this thread about the safety issues involved in sticking your dick through a hole with no idea who might be on the other side nor what intentions they might have, I agree wholeheartedly that such a situation is fraught with danger. That's especially true in a totally uncontrolled environment like a secluded men's room. Most of my recent gloryhole action, and FUN I might add, has been in private clubs or bath houses where everyone there is checked in and identified by the sanctioning institution and therefore has every reason to behave. That's still no guarantee that you won't have some sort of unpleasant experience, but at least there's a level of assurance that you'll come away healthy and intact. Like everything else in life there's always some risk involved and if you don't think the potential benefit will outweigh the risk, don't do it!
