Gloryholes can be found in many places, but are typically found in adult stores or sexual based establishments. A gloryhole is a hole in the wall that is placed at a perfect height for a man to insert his penis in. The gloryhole is placed on a wall that separates two rooms of varying sizes. The idea is that a man in one room or booth inserts his penis into the hole making it available to the person in the other room or booth. Either a blowjob, handjob, sex or a combination of all three is then given to the penis sticking thru the hole in the wall. The giver of said sexual favors may be dressed, partially nude or totally nude, and the traditional gloryhole rooms offer anonymity to both parties if they desire it. Many times the giver of said sexual favors will service more than one man in back to back fashion. One of the main reasons for a gloryhole is it allows an individual to give numerous blowjobs to strangers all while remaining anonymous.
I hope I explained it well for those who have never heard of a gloryhole, but more information can be found by googling "Gloryhole" if needed and there are many videos of gloryhole action on numerous porn websites, as it is a popular porn genre category. Some of the gloryhole videos that can be found are professionally produced, but many are of amateur women who enjoy the anonymity of giving a gloryhole blowjob or more.

My question...
How do you feel about gloryholes and the act of anonymously giving blowjobs, handjobs, sex or a combination of the three to strangers?

I have always kind of assumed that they were mostly an urban legend. Like phone numbers you see in a bathroom, who is really waiting on the other end of the line for you to call (so they can give you a good time).

Great Poll!

I've heard of them and been to a place that had them. The thought of utilizing one is disgusting to me. Not the act itself but the fact of who knows where any of those body parts have been previously. Germaphobe so no way.

Me, too, never thought there actually were any.

I've heard of them, I'm a girl & I've never seen one.

All I knew of them before this post was from the one I saw in the movie "The Sweetest Thing". This fills in some blanks though. Neither me or my partner have much interest in them at all.

I can see some poor guy sitting there with his erect penis in the hole for hours waiting for someone to come along...

I personally find it gross on both sides. They had better have a condom on! :/

This isn't something that appeals to me (het female). I don't know of any glory holes but I am also not asking around.

I know of men who are into anonymous encounters in bookstores, etc, but it's a gay scene and I am under the impression that they like to see the whole guy.

If I'd known about them in my 20s, I'm sure I'd have sought them out and given/received lots of anonymous blowjobs...but I'm glad I didn't.

Now, it's a fun fantasy, but that's where it ends. As far as my wife, I get a little angry just thinking about it!

I've never used a public glory hole before, but when I lived in a large city, guys with private, in-home glory holes were not that uncommon. It was kind of a fun way to try out the fantasy without the risk of being caught in a public place.

I've heard of them, but that just sounds gross to me. Sex with a stranger has no appeal to me

I know what a glory hole is, but I've never seen them outside of porn. I do find them a turn on, but I could never do it. Too many risks involved.

I've heard of them, but never seen them IRL. The thought appeals to me, but only as a fantasy. I'm far too paranoid about STIs for this to become a reality.

I've heard of them and they seem really risky.

I've heared about them in a documentary about swinger clubs, I never knew there were some in more public places.

Sounds kind of interesting to me, but of course latex products are a must.

It sounds hot but also sounds unclean and I wouldn't want to risk the diseases.

Oh if only...

A quick scan of local Craigslists ads reveals a vast amount of glory-hole-goodness and you can walk into any head shop in town that has booths and almost every single one of them has a glory hole in each one.

I was talking to a past co-worker a long time ago about her stint at a very popular chain here and she said that almost every night she had to patch up the holes. They kept a five gallon bucket of spackle in the back.

...I know too many weird facts. hmph

What a fantastic poll!! I think glory holes are hotter than four hundred hells, something about the anonymity really flips my switch.

Do I think they are safe? Absolutely not.
Would I partake? Not in a million fucking years.

I've heard of them, never seen one, would never be intersted, not a turn on for me.

I'm not interested but to each his/her own.

We did have a sex shop that was shut down in a nearby town about 10 years ago, partially due to this issue.

I've heard of them but have never seen them in person. To me it was like a myth that you only saw in porn and movies.

Thank you for the wonderful compliment!

A large piece of cardboard or a piece of cheap drywall from Home Depot, some paint, a knife to cut the hole, and a sharpie to graffiti the painted drywall, then add a video camera on a Tri-pod and you can make your own gloryhole amateur porn video with your husband. Lots of fun to be had, a fantasy fulfilled and you two can watch and enjoy the video for years to come. It's an excellent idea for safely living out a fantasy, roleplaying and generally spicing things up in the bedroom.

Just thought I'd share.

I like the idea, but I would be too worried about STD's to utilize one in a completely anonymous scenario, but I think if it was just my partner I would be bored.

I might if I was at a party with people I know pretty well, at least then it's not a complete crap shoot for contracting something and I still wouldn't know who was servicing me so the excitement from the anonymity is still there. Hmm... I have been wanting my parties to get a little raunchier.

I know where to find several in a big city I used to live in. Not interested in them for myself because of STDs.
