Definitely. Only gone a few times - but you better be hot, or i'll just rub one out to some porn by myself, or screw my girlfriend. I always check out who is cruising the bookstore before i go in. The thought of some fat old guy going down on me doesn't get me hot. Sorry, don't mean to offend anyone - but that's the way i feel about it.
one day, you will be the fat old bold sweaty red guy !
eh oui, la vie passe pour tous !

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.

The only thing is that a mouth usually feels better than a hand.

Not to me. Blowjobs feel nice, but they're not spectacular. I've only cum from a blowjob twice in my life. Most of the time I just don't find it that stimulating. I can give myself way more pleasure with my hand and a good fantasy (sometimes with porn, sometimes not).

What I DO enjoy about blowjobs is the interaction with the guy, having him move down my body, watching him take me in his mouth, getting to stroke his hair and rub his shoulders, having him come back up to kiss me. All that would be missing from gloryhole sex.

I agree with saabman that the thought of someone I'm not attracted to doing down on me is a huge turn-off. For much the same reason, you won't find me servicing anyone at a gloryhole, either.

Also, I don't get turned on quickly or easily. I need a little conversation first.

The thing is, everyone doesn't live in places where there exists a large dating pool (if any, at all) to pick from...There is exactly one gay bar within a 100-mile radius of my house ...Where I live, you either get your BJs from ugly guys, or you do without. In that case, the gloryhole is your best option...

I'm not judging you when I say this, but I'd rather do without. But if you like it and are willing to take the risks, then by all means, enjoy it. One thing puzzles me, however. I understand that lots of people live quite a distance from any gay bars, but I find it strange that you have gloryholes. Is this true in other parts of the country, or is it just a Texas thang?

Let me ask the question another way. Where the hell are all these gloryholes anyway? I've never seen one, nor do I know where to find one.

Infrequently I'll check them out in a cruise club...I keep a sharp eye on who's going in and out of the booths...
I know some people don't give a toss who's giving them head or what the cock is attached to coming from the other side but I don't want some ugly/old person slobbering on my cock nor do I want to suck theirs, irregardless of size.

Not a Texas thing. Here, in this county of 300,000 people in liberal old New York, there is not a single gay club or bar BUT there are at least SEVEN adult book stores; all with glory holes.

Much of that has to do with our demographics. There's really little point for a gay or bi person to live here given the ridiculous cost of living as a single person and the predominance of families. Almost everyone in these places are married straight/bi guys giving each other blow jobs. While the area itself is pretty tolerant, it's like living in pre-Stonewall times; no gyms, no community outreach, no gay nights at otherwise straight clubs, no gay anything. Not even a non-parochial real college or university. Given our population and location, that's a wasteland and it's sad.

I've been looking at moving someplace more progressive and one place I'm very interested in is Burlington, VT which incredibly, doesn't have any gay bars either! Amazing for a city that lives off its colleges and university. Seems nobody sees a point in segregating themselves when the city is so tolerant to begin with.

Gloryholes are fun when you don't have to contort yourself around bolted-down chairs and such. It's something to do when you're tired of the old right hand routine. For me, it's just another form of masturbation with no emotional attachment. I must, however, thank the one older guy who shared a buddy booth with me when I was really young (like not quite legal) and nervous. So nervous I actually shot off all over his leg much to my enormous embarrassment. He was cool though and he took time to teach me how to give expert head. To this day, it's the single best blow job I've ever had and I'm happy to say it's rare I can't bring a guy off.

Do you really care who sucks your dick on the other side as long has he is talented?
**********************************************************
It may be wise now days to care who sucks your dick on the other side.
You may want that same head again and can't ID it:biggrin1::biggrin1:

:confused: Why is it called a "gloryhole"; how did this name come about.
Just wondering!

Honestly I could never get off on the idea of a Gloryhole...I'd rather have sex knowing what the guy looks like (even ugly guys can make for great sex!).

though a good thought for another thread might be "Ever did it in the great outdoors?" hmm...

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.

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!

As far as crazy people.. my fear was the hat pin. How do you pull it back when someone (only in NY, sorry) sticks a pin thru it all the way and prevents your pull out?

I've always had that same fear, except that it's with a big padlock, and the other guy flushes the key down the toilet! :eek:

Very intereresting and informative post. Thank you. I thought things were bad where I live, but at least Northampton has a gay bar, even if it's mostly lesbian. I've heard some nice things about Burlington and have been meaning to take a vacation there someday, although last weekend I was talking to a couple whose daughter lives there, and they didn't think it was anything special. One thing I like is that I've heard that there are some places where nude swimming and sunbathing is tolerated.

Although I dislike the idea of living in a city, I'm thinking I need to seriously consider moving to a gay mecca.

Is it generally true that adult bookstores have gloryholes? I'm surprised. I would think that the owners wouldn't want to scare away straight men, whom one would assume would make up the majority of the clientele. I would think would be even more true in rural or conservative areas. Or do such areas have a greater tolerance for homosexual behavior than I realized, as long as it's underground? I'm also surprised that adult bookstores would be allowed to operate if they had gloryholes.

The only adult bookstore we have around here is tiny little respectable shop run by a mother and daughter team.

There are controversial plans to open by the Captain Video Corporation to open a store around here, and a local group is trying to stop the opening of the store, or at least minimize it's impact.

As to the origin of the term "glory hole" I'm a fan of old movies and
Americana starting with the industrial revolution.
Several time I have seen plywood walls surrounding major construction sites and also ball parks in the 20's and 30's The contractors would cut
holesin the plywood so people could look into the site to see what going on. Kids would do the same thing to watch a ballgame if they didn't have the price of admission. They would often be a sign above the hole labled
GLORY HOLE
In recent years the Boston Big Dig had viewing holes all over the project labeled GLORY HOLE

Now that's one of the scariest things I've ever heard. Sticking my sensitive dick though a hole & not knowing what's on the other side. It sounds almost insane.

:eek:

Burlington is nothing special? They don't know how to take advantage of it. Burlington is one of the best small cities in the country. It's beautiful, clean, loaded with great small shops, a beautiful pedestrian-only section, amazing restaurants, and a vibrant cultural community. Mountains to the east for skiing, hiking, and camping, Lake Champlain to the west for swimming, rowing, sailing, fishing, or monster watching. One of the best cities on the continent, Montreal, is just two hours away. Burlington hosts not only UVM, but four other colleges as well and the large population of young people plus its prominence as the largest city in the state, makes it a lively place.

I confess to loving Vermont a great deal. It's a very strange place. The cost of living is high. The pay is low. Despite this, people come to Vermont and stay because they love it. I'm going up to Burlington for Columbus Day weekend to spend time with my sister's family. She's lived there for 15 years and will not leave. The rest of Vermont is not much like Burlington except in the Yankee attitude that should be the state's motto, live and let live. Nudity doesn't count for much in Vermont. If you want to go about without clothes then most people don't have an issue with it. What you want to freeze off is your business.

Go! Spend some time in Burlington, see the surrounding area. Get a copy of Seven Days and go see Vermont's attic, the Shelburne Museum. It's like the Smithsonian.

What do you mean by that? Who else is using them? :confused:
The female anatomy really isn't designed for insertion in a glory hole. :tongue:


Well, there's a scene in John Waters' movie Desperate Living, that takes place in a Lesbian Bar, where Peggy Gravel (Mink Stole) is being harrassed by lesbians in the bathroom, and she finally makes it to the stall, where she doesn't notice two gigantic holes above her, and a set of boobs poking through! :eek:

She looks up, SCREAMS, and begs, "PLEEEESE leave me ALOOONE!" :biggrin1:


For some reason I think that one just came out of his imagination....:confused::rolleyes:

Are there still glory holes around? Anyone know where they are usually at? I'm curious about them, although paranoia would prevent me from sticking my dick in there. I would use it to practice receiving though. :p Although there are many other reasons that would prevent me from going through with using them, I would like to check it out at least once.

Not to worry. Everyone's nervous the first time. Most guys will want to reciprocate if you blow them. There really isn't much to worry about. I liken all the fears of hat pins and psychos to Halloween candy. Everyone hears about twisted things happening yet they never experience it themselves. Use the holes in book stores since they're attended, have cameras, and other people are around. It's pretty easy. Everyone in there is looking to suck or get sucked so don't think you'll be the only guy who wants to do it either.

Go to Squirt! and check out the places near you. There are reviews, sometimes pictures, and you'll get an idea if the place is cool for you or not. Then go and read this post and this FAQ about what the etiquette is and what to do when you get there.

The point is to enjoy yourself and get off with other guys. It's pretty basic.
