Fantasy : Gloryholes, a Thing of the Past?

Hey, guys! We stumbled upon a Reddit thread wherein one Redditor was asking whether or not gloryholes are “an actual thing.” He asked because apparently none of his friends in real life (and even him) had ever used or seen one.
One of the respondents said that its popularity had already waned over the years with the advent of the Internet all thanks to online dating because now men could meet for casual hookup if they choose to. Not to mention these days there is such a thing as unlawful sexual activity not to mention the police do conduct undercover stings on public restrooms. But anyway, the respondent’s answer made me think if indeed gloryholes aren’t as popular as the days of old. In any case, we did a little digging and we discovered this documentary that revealed the secrets of a gay sauna.
It has the usual hot tub, dry sauna, and showers but then the second floor is dedicated to people who want to engage in anonymous sex. There, you will discover sex swings (looks like a dungeon), rest rooms which of course have a bed complete with condoms and lubes and then there’s an area with rows of toilets which are actually gloryholes. So there you go, gloryholes do exist only they are hidden in the public eye.
With that said, has anyone here ever been into a gay sauna with gloryholes? Has anybody here tried it? How did your experience go? No, you haven’t experienced it yet? Will you ever try it? Share with us your thoughts and stories in the comments section below.
I get the fact that I’m older but my “GOD” how I miss the days of working a HOT glory-hole. These younger guys today have no idea what they are missing if they like NSA anonymous sex. I think a lot of it is due to the internet, I.M. texting, jacking off and nutting in the car, office restroom etc.etc.etc. but the do not know how hot it would be to feed a hot, young, cum filled cock into a hungry hot mouth, or butt through a glory-hole. I still have a private one at my home, and have ads on Craigs-List and A4A. But, not getting the traffic I should be getting. A ton of replies, but few real show up’s……All Talkers and no action. SAD! That’s the world today. Everyones in a hurry.
i think the young guys and married guys are guilty of 99% of my no-shows. I have NEVER EVER stood anybody up. as far as glory holes have sucked and been sucked at them, yes they are going away sting ops etc. early on in my gay life i used to hit them but not for many years now. I like to be able to relax on a couch or bed and enjoy it. it takes me a long time to get off and i prefer the possability of repeat meeting as long as we both enjoy it
HERE IT IS, BACK BEFORE AIDS,i thought the tradgedy of gays that would,or could not ”go out”,ect, visited these stinky toilet holes,and restrooms toilet places. SORRY,you might have ”straights” doin this shit,but i never heard of it,bathhouses,toilets,glory holes,all MADE SO MANY,MANY OF US DIE EARLY FROM AIDS,ECT,AND SHOWED THE WORLD OUR ”’SEXUAL FREEDOMS AND LIBERATION” WERE EQUAL TO A FLUSHING TOILET. honestly i HATE GAY PEOPLE WHO DO THIS,WHY,NOBODY’S THAT REPULSIVE,UGLY,THAT THEY COULDN’T FIND SOMEONE,SOMEHOW. AND THEN THE MYTH OF THE ”’HATPIN THRU THE PENIS” urban myth,but honestly anyone sticking their pride member thru to some garbage could get a hatpin,or a torch to their gross dick,sorry i just think we gays evolve ,my idea of lovemaking doesn’t involve a AM/PM toilet with piss and puke scent in the air!!!!!!
Wow, Mark Patterson — you “hate gay people” who do this?!? I can understand saying that you wouldn’t do it yourself, but if you’re going to go around screaming that you hate gay people, maybe you’d better look up the term “internalized homophobia”. Your shame at other homosexuals is almost embarrassing. Have you ever heard the term “Uncle Tom”? It sounds like you’re kissing up to some heterosexual people, sir.
A little hint: People who hate gay people hate us for who we are, no matter what we do. It’s just like racism. Ever see one of those assholes go around pulling up the corner of his eyes making fun of “Chinks”? I have. And as far as I’m concerned, Toyota, Lexus, Samsung, and East Asian culture in general are as refined as you can get. But they’re still hated. If they weren’t “taking our jobs” they’d be “shiftless, lazy, good-for-nothings”. People will always find a reason to hate if they want to.
So, Mark, don’t go around trying to cast shame on other gay people. There’s enough misery in this world. If someone can get a little happiness in a restroom, let them!
And, for that matter, gloryholes didn’t spread HIV/AIDS. Do you realize that HIV/AIDS is still being spread today, WITHOUT glory holes? Unprotected intercourse can spread STIs. And unprotected sex occurs in a lot of scenarios, including negotiated face-to-face encounters in the privacy of one’s apartment or home, where one might trust another enough not to use a condom. Quit using HIV/AIDS as an excuse to reinforce stigma, Mark.
Jacking off and showing off to each other through a gloryhole is one of the safest forms of sex out there — and that’s how a lot of them were used. Hell, I honestly wish people would get out there and drill more glory holes. It’s easier nowadays, with portable battery-powered drills available and cell phones to warn your buddies to stop the drilling when people are approaching. You’d probably see more safe sex, involve more straight guys who’d become more comfortable seeing other guys cocks, and there would be less of the furtive, behind-the-scenes, anonymous internet hookups that all too often result in unprotected bareback sex.
Why are you even on Adam4Adam, which is known for anonymous one-night hook-ups, given your preoccupation with HIV/AIDS? Well? Do you have an answer to that?
If you’re really concerned with HIV/AIDS, you’d be railing on against bareback sex, rather than gloryholes. But I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that you’ve engaged in bareback sex with guys you barely know, and consider that perfectly fine, because it’s done “in private”.
I go to adult bookstores with gloryholes a lot, I’m 30. I live in the Bay Area near San Francisco so I guess I’m lucky there are a lot. I do worry about cops and the fact I’m a str8 married guy, but gloryholes are fun and exciting.
I usually start sucking the guy through the gh then invite him in my room to finish. It def seems to be a bit of an older crowd but I’ve always liked sucking off guys between 40-60.
If you’ve never gone u should try it. My best is sucking off 8 guys in 2 hours…….worst was 0 bc no one was there.
News flash. You’re NOT str8.
I’m older but I’ve never been a fan of glory holes. There is something very seedy and dirty about them, and believe me I’m a very open-minded person. There’s also the concern of STIs as well. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I think it’s important to establish some kind of bond even at the barest level before you start banging away. The idea of sticking my cock through a glory hole for some random stranger to suck is about as appealing as watching Mr. Trump ramble on endlessly about making America great again. Glory holes suck (pun completely intended).
Yuk! I certainly hope they are, considering, you don’t know what’s on the other side of the damn thing, forgive me, but, I love to see his pretty face while a fucking his brains out, further more, I want him to see mine, too.
Glory holes encounters often lead to one on one sex. In bathrooms and bath houses. You can usually see who is on the other side of the glory holes before you shove your dick through it. For a lot of people much of the thrill is in the anonymity of a gh. Many people have private gloryholes in their own home and set up meetings with guys online. Fully knowing what they look like. Size of dick. What they’re really after etc. So you should stop judging so broadly on a subject and a people you obviously know little about.
It used to be so hot at some of the local colleges! Big major glory holes, in some of the busiest bathrooms!! But whether it was just a general crackdown, or guys who were using it not cleaning up after themselves, making it obvious, some schools started doing sting operations, and all of them covered up and repaired the holes… So sad!
I absolutely love gloryholes. There was one off of 128 N years ago. A trucker used to stop in a lot. He was a shorter guy but had the biggest uncut dick ever. Blew an employee one time too. Look on his face after he came was priceless!!!!
Meant 128 N in the Lexington area of Massachusetts
NYC has about six glory holes on 8av.
Where!?!?
Where are these glory holes
Glory holes can be fun, but risky to some extent. I remember way back when I was in my 20s, there was a incident in which someone in an adult arcade stuck his cock through a glory hole and the person on the other side cut it off with a knife and the man bled to death. Also there is the risk of picking something up from a person you don’t know, that you will never meet. Although anonymous sex like that can be fun, I prefer seeing and interacting with the person I’m with. There is so much more to sex than just shooting your load of cum. It’s the interaction of of 2 guys (or gals) together. It’s all about the overall play. Ass, cock, skin to skin, kissing, cuddling, rimming, sucking and fucking that makes it fun.
I’m totally in agreement with you, Jim. The risk of what’s on the other side of the GH, scares me. So I’ve never experienced it. And, as you said …. “It’s all about the overall play. Ass, cock, skin to skin, kissing, cuddling, rimming, sucking and fucking that makes it fun.”
I second the notion! Along with all the cuboodle that goes on in the playing session, is watching your partner seeming more “beautiful” before your eyes,and what a prize you’ve probably caught!
IN the history of gloryholes about 10,000,000 cocks go sucked for every one that got cut off.
Never been to a Glory Hole, but I would like to. I read in some comments about getting STI’s from glory hole sucking, but I think it is the same if you meet someone face to face! I mean we would know if someone has an STI either way, an option would be to wrap that baby up before sucking it. But, back to Glory Holes, I do not know, I find them exciting, I guess the anonymity factor is what makes it hot for me. Sex is great in anyway, but we must make informed decisions.
There are a couple glory holes at the local adult store between 2 booths that the owner put in somewhere around 2011 and about 2 years ago he added another one and seems the cops no longer bother the place and many times guys are in a booth totally naked almost to the point they walk around naked but not just yet. Glory holes seem like they would be fun but I would rather see the person and guys could pretty much just ask me to suck them off and more then not I would but they have to have good hygiene and not look like they haven’t showered in a week or look like meth heads.
I like glory hole sex at a bookstore however I now LOVE it at a bath house!! I recently sucked and got fucked for 2 hours solid by numerous cocks. And while I generally prefer average to small cock all of these were in the 7/9″ range and THICK. I love feeling slutty and cheap.
I sure wish there were a bath house close to me.
Glory Holes were a blessing for me. I was desperate to suck cock, but equally desperate to maintain anonymity. Had TONS of issues, starting with living a double-life as a sometimes-transvestite. But the GH culture gave me a gateway. Now I’m so comfortable with it that I’ll even drop in at an Interstate-adjacent ABS — fully dressed in my gurl attire — and openly service Bi guys who are desperate for a blow-and-go while on the road. Yeah, it’s an often-trashy scene, but it’s my way of giving back.
Gloryholes are the best. Its the best way to get head and get bred when you put your hole up to a hole and let the dick breeds your hole full of hot cum. The more dicks, the more your asshole gets loaded and leaky and sticky. Can’t get enough of gloryholes and get your glory
I have been to bathhouses, sex clubs, and spa’s. They’re definitely fun, because everyone is on the same page. My favorite would have to be a sex club. You get to keep your clothes on and don’t run the risk of getting arrested. There’s glory holes, but nothing like actually cruising a bathroom or park. I just started at a new school and discovered a bathroom with a glory hole. It’s pretty active. Have gotten blown or fucked someone every time I’ve gone. I’m 26 and these are even younger guys. Although I also live in a big city, Los Angeles. But I do think the accessibility to PrEP has gotten places like this going again.
I haven’t been to a glory hole in years. There was one in an adult bookstore when I was in college. I was usually too nervous but one night I got up the strength to try it out. It was a little awkward at first….sitting in this little booth waiting for something to happen. Overall it was an ok experience but I haven’t been back.
I do see some guys advertising private glory holes….like in their homes. Just a board or something near the door so you get them same effect of a glory hole without having to do it in public…but for some the reason they enjoy it is because it is somewhat public
I got to play in a glory hole in a Christchurch gay spa and it was wonderful. A cute hung skater boy stuck his 9 inch uncut dick in there, and I had my way with it. Normally I prefer naked body contact and taking my time but there was something about that that made me hot. I’d love to do it again.
I find it amazing that a man can stick his dick through a hole in the wall not knowing who or what is on the other side, but he would give a fit man hell if he won’t show a face picture before meeting. Go on to that glory hole, what is on the other side, ain’t so pretty.
I like it cause I get to suck n swallow
N is my cock to small its 4.5 always hard
Im not against glory holes, Im just too picky about the person on the other side. I need to read into a person. I dont find them to be too sanitary.
I will provide support for an establishment keeping them. After all, there is glory hole lineage that needs to be valued- however I dont like sticking my dick thru one nor do I like sucking on a cock of a person that I cant see.
I think they are great for peek-a-boo show some cock and then get together and fuck.
When I was in my 20’s I used to frequent a book store in Evansville Indiana where every booth had a glory hole. The first blow job I ever gave was in one of those booths. Now, I wouldn’t even consider doing that.
I love gloryhole sex. I have a private gh in my apt and I have regulars that visit weekly. I had it built because of the raids on ABS’s and the seedy clientele that would frequent them. Considering my gh is private, I am selective with the type of man I invite over.
99% of my regulars have either a wife or gf at home. Also, every person is welcome to look through the gh to see me before service, I have nothing to hide. I simply enjoy providing oral worship to men who need discreet head with no hassle and NSA.
I attended grad school and discovered a gh in the library restroom. My all time was sucking 18 college jocks in a 3 hr period, back to back.
It was then that I decided that a private gloryhole would be ideal.
Wish you live in long beach Ca. The private home Gloryhole that I’m visited recently moved away. I’m went there 3 times weekly minimum.
I miss the days of gloryholes and other t-room sex! Did lots of understall action in college and there was a gloryhole in one campus bathroom. I still do the bookstore scene once in awhile, but it’s hit or miss. I’ve had hot times as a top and bottom orally and anally. Last night was a bore tho ☹
Why on earth would anyone want to get off with someone who they don’t know what they look like and don’t know what diseases they might have? They’re retarded/for retards. . .
Glory holes have had a resurgence and I have always enjoyed the anonymity of those holes….you either like the dick that comes through or you don’t. I do miss the University/College ghs because of extra added security after 9/11….I used to spend some fun hot days sucking anon cocks. Even backrooms have started to reappear and many boothstores now have wide open holes for sucking (or fucking).
In NYC there are several guys who advertise private apt glory holes and those guys usually are overly picky….especially if your not that young or don’t have a huge cock.
I rarely come back from a glory hole w/o sucking a few cocks and getting my dick sucked.
If it’s not your thing…then don’t frequent places that have them.
Omg I LOVE tHe action of a GH. If the world had more It’d be a better place.
I live in Maine and work in Boston. The is a guy in Maine that has a private gh set up where he works. It has a pipe (kinda like a curtain rod) that is over the gh and you can just hold onto. The gh is made out of ply wood. Two years ago he was blowing me and I broke my toe (toe curling bj, not supposed to curl that much) it was amazing to say the least. I visit him weekly. I also reverse the gh for his 8″rock solid cock. He has an awesome body for 48yo. You can wrap your arms around the gh and either grab his head and pull towards you or feel his body. I always go to work happy. My coworkers can always tell when I’ve had a good commute.
In southern NH there is an adult store with maybe 20 GHs. You get 18-80yo. It very clean, cleaned after you leave the booth. You have to keep a dollar in the booth to watch the vids but you have a gh on both sides of you. I stop there on my way home from work. Always a good time. Man have I met some fuckin hotties there. The 24yo who wears carhardtt pants and shirts, after a rough day of work, he takes off his shirt and pulls down his pants and exposes a rock solid 8″uc hunk of meat. He can fill a tumbler when he shoots. He is my all time favorite.
So yeah I’d say I still love GHs. I’m looking for a good one in Boston where I work down town. Got to relieve the pressure at lunch time.
As for the guys saying “oh you’ll pick up a disease there” think about it, the guys using a gh are the same guys you’re gonna meet at the bar, behind a dumpster or the same guys who you’re gonna meet at church or on line . Guys are guys and they want their cock sucked. They’ll get it any where and any way there is a means.
We need more GHs in this world.
GHs are hot but unless you’re in a bigger City with adult bookstores they’re hard to find. I did stumble upon one posted on Grindr about 3 mos ago and the dude had it set up like a block from where i live in the des moines iowa area. It was in a warehouse. Very hot scene! And i knew basically what he looked like from Grindr. It was still pretty hot! He said he only wanted to suck my cock but I ended up sucking his also. While sucking i saw that he had his phone setup to record the action. I didn’t mind because all he could see was my dick. He then wanted to fuck me but i declined. A few days later i asked on Grindr if he got any good footage from recording and if they were posted on pornhub. He said no and deleted them bc it showed too much of his face lol.
Separate story – a buddy and I used to set up a gh in my loft/condo when i lived in downtown Charlotte and post ads on cl. Lots of traffic! We would both take turns. Or, he would take over bc I’m a dick snob and won’t suck an ugly cock
We have one at the place I work…down hallway secluded restroom > you can hear the first door open so you can hear someone come in be safe. Lots of oral and some other fun in the stalls. There’s still one hole being used..
There’s lots of glory holes still in video arcades and they are busy. A lot of guys just cruise till some tasty meat goes in a booth. Go in the next one and wait for the cock to get hard. Suck suck cum cum it’s really fun. Quick simple straight forward. Yeah it’s sleezy but that’s part of the appeal. Squirt. Org lists them. Go enjoy. The only thing that’s going to happen is you’re likely to get the best head you’ve ever had. Practice makes perfect and a glory hole cock sucker has had plenty of practice. God bless them.
Glory holes are nice, when I see them I think maybe a big cock is about to pop thru it. I never look or put my fingers thru it because I don’t want to entice a vice cop to get me. but if a big cock pops thru the hole I’m going to wrap my lips around it fast. I don’t think that’s entrapment unless you can say my mouth wrapped around it is entrapping it. I promise to release it after it shoots it’s prize.
Well I’m always looking for a clean hole and a cock to pop out of it.
“these days there is such a thing as unlawful sexual activity” that’s new?
I was sucking dick thru a g h once,,, the guy asked if he could come into my booth to get his dick deeper down my throat… so I unlocked my door… my uncle walked in…. Ihe shoved his dick in my mouth so I figured he didn’t recognize me… after he shot his load down my throat… he said I was a good cocksucker and not to tell my mom….then he left….
Never been to a spa with glory holes. Been to plenty of XXX theaters and played in the open and in a booth with glory holes. Hot scene!! I always play safe
Gloryholes are HOT!! I had a private one set up in my basement since all the public ones have gone where I live. There are glory holes at one of the local bathhouses. One the giving side, nothing is hotter than watching the cock slide through. On the receiving side the total focus on cock cannot be matched. Also love glory hole porn taken on the receivers side.
My first bj from a guy and cock I sucked was a GH at an ABS 7 years ago in NC, so that had a big influence on broadening my sexual development. I’ve also stopped by one in WV a number of times, giving and receiving bjs. I often let the guy into my booth as well.
I used to visit gloryholes while a student in college. Back then, it was easy sexual action. Now, I still like them for the focused sexual energy. Something hot about two guys getting off without any social awkwardness/distractions, which allow each guy to focus hungrily on his own pleasure. I’ve built a private gloryhole at my place in San Francisco. I screen guys pretty good before inviting them over. It’s great–I have a few regulars who stop by and am always open to meeting new buddies. I’m on PrEP and get tested regularly. Haven’t seen any spike in STDs since I started working my own private gloryhole. I have had some incredibly hot encounters, though.
I don’t know about anyplace else but GH’s are all over the place in Chicago. Not the ones in ABS or bath houses but in guys homes. Some are just sheets with holes, but many are wood with smoothed out holes. Made of plywood & fitted into door jams. Some even have handles to hold on to while you’re getting sucked. One I’ve seen has 3 holes for different height men. Another one even has a bottle of poppers hanging on a small leather strap & towels to clean up. Some have TV’s with porn running. I’m waiting to see a “how to ” video on U Tube show up. As far as the STI & HIV issue, it’s not from location, location, location. You get them from an an exchange of bodily fluids. That can happen in an ABS, the basement of Jackhammer, your living room or a suite at the 4 Seasons. The major issue with any increase of STI or HIV infection is due to lack of education. A lot of younger guys think HIV is like the flu. Some older guys are just fed up with using condoms for the last 30 years. I’ve been on PrEP for 3 years, so I have to get tested every 3 months to monitor the side effects. I had a discussion with a 24yr old poz guy who never got tested for anything till he tried to join the army. He knew nothing about any kind of STI. I took a bud to Steamworks to get tested for free & got tested too for moral support. When they started to give me the speech about HIV I asked him how old he was… I’ve been getting tested longer than he has been alive. When he questioned my point of view, my response was pretty simple. I have more dead friends than he did.
How do you find them in Chicago?
I have 3 private glory holes I go to in Long Beach Ca. I’m married but bi. For me it’s the hottest blow jobs ever not knowing or having face to face contact. My most intense orgasim ‘ s have been a Gloryhole. I’ve gone to them 3 times a week for yrs. I did a bookstore once but worry about cops. I also did a bath house that had them which I think I’ll try again. Wife and I are swingers but there is something about a guy sucking me off that is insanely hot. Damn I’m horny now Thx guys. Lol.
Love gloryholes and adult video arcades. Love the excitement and suspense of the next cock poking thru the hole wanting a anonyomous cocksucker to suck til they get that sweet tasting nutt! Found out if you make loud suckin sounds while giving head the other hard cocks will line up waiting to be the next one for a gloryhole bj! 12 noon is always good time to go as there are lots of businessmen and professionals there on their lunch hr for a quick cum and go! Hope to meet you there!
The problem here in NC is many places with glory holes don’t clean regularly. So even if I was down WTH sucking a dick poked through one, I definitely don’t want put my face close to some nasty, who knows what is on it wall. Plus I need a hand on my head pushing my throat down so glory holes just aren’t my thing.
Where in NC?
I love goody holes and I don’t think they’re a thing of the past. There’s lots of actions around the ones here where I live. 🙂
I love gh,,, I don’t use the one in my town , but when I travel ….no one knows me and I’ll buy a http of poppers and have a blast ….once in a a adult store ,it was different,,,cover charge $5..and they had 2 rooms , the first room was gay porn and no one in there , the second room was packed full ,,, all str8 dudes playing pocket pool ,watching str8 porn…
I walked through and left, went back to gay room alone ,,, wasn’t 10 mins and there was a line of dudes waiting for their turn…
I sucked off about 12 dudes and plenty still waiting ….i needed a break …but came back in 15mins and continued on feasting on some fine Latin meat .. ended up spending about 4 hours there ,left thoroughly full belly of sweet com…cant wait to get back there
Not a big fan of glory holes. I like to see who I am sucking or fucking. However my first encounter at an adult book store with a guy was getting sucked through a glory hole. I remember it well.
I luv gholes,not I my s.mall town but i traveloften and seem to find hot ones near military bases,, and I. All for treating service manhood.
Once I went to a book store in s Texas and was told to go as IT was hot,, $5 cover charge,,but when I walked in. Thhere were basically 2 rooms ,, 1 gay (empty ) and THE other straight,, i walked in the str8 one and IT was packed..andevery one playing pocket pool ,,,I walked out and into the gay room ..
And slowl y each guy made his way in to the gay room …oh my
I probably sucked 15 dicks and they were still lined up … I needed a break
But I wen t back for more , i bought a bottle of poppers from the front and lost count how many Latin dicks I sucked … I was there probably 4 hours ..lol and THE manager out front said on my way out , come back anytime , no cover charge foe you… I did go back a few times and was always fully satisfied with the men
I love them, there are none where I live or at not that I know of but where I go on vacation there was one in the restroom on the beach, there were no doors on the stalls and holes between the three stalls so if you got in the middle you could get cock from both sides. I could go and spend hours there, was not a big town so sometimes it was slow but certain times of the day you could get a lot of cocks to suck on. best day I had was five cocks in about 45 minutes time. unfortunately they replaced the stalls last year with new ones and doors on them also, just keep hoping someone drills new holes soon so I can continue getting cock to suck on and get mine sucked on through the hole, it is just so hot not seeing the face of the guy you are sucking or is sucking you.
GHs are still a thing, but they aren’t usually public. People set them up in their houses nowadays and invite people over who want head or anonymous sex. You’ll find accounts advertising personal GHs here on A4A, on apps like Grindr and (most often) before the personals section was taken down on Craigslist.
Please how do I find one? I will be in Chicago for several weeks and sure would like to know about some things.It has been some time since the last GH I ran into was a very long time ago. I hope I can find some helpful guy to point me the way. I am ready:) Er… oral only..Gerry
