A glory hole is a hole in a wall, or other partition, often between public lavatory cubicles or adult video arcade booths and lounges, for people to engage in sexual activity or observe the person in the next cubicle while one or both parties masturbate. Glory holes are especially associated with gay porn male culture, and anal or oral sex, but may also be used by bisexual or heterosexual men, or by men who do not identify as gay, bisexual, or heterosexual. The partition maintains anonymity. Some gay websites offer directories of glory holes.

It’s anonymous

Numerous motivations can be ascribed to the use and eroticism of glory holes. As a wall separates the two participants, they have no contact except for a mouth, a penis, and perhaps a hand. Almost total anonymity is maintained as no other attributes are taken into consideration as to say click here without any finger prints left. The glory hole is seen as an erotic oasis in gay subcultures around the world; people's motivations, experiences and attributions of value in its use are varied.

Depersonalisation of their partners

In light of the ongoing HIV pandemic, many gay men re-evaluate their sexual and erotic desires and practices. It is suggested by queer theorist that glory holes allow for a physical barrier, which may be an extension of psychological ones where there is internalized homophobia that is, a result of many societies' widespread disgust about LGBT practices and people. For some gay men, a glory hole serves to depersonalize their partner altogether as a disembodied object of sexual desire, either sticking through or on the other side of the hole.

Awesome feelings

Back to the blow job, this feels awesome by the way. There’s something awesome about having someone who is so eager to blow you, who doesn’t ask annoying, boner-killing questions like “Are you close” or who slow down or who get tired or lose enthusiasm.
