A gay man online recently sparked a steamy debate with a no-judgment question:
Would you ever give a blowjob at a real gloryhole, or are you too shy? I’ve always found the idea of a real gloryhole incredibly hot – the anonymity, the tension, the pure focus on pleasure.
But I know it’s not for everyone. Some guys are super into it, others feel like it’s too risky or impersonal.
I’m curious:
– Have you ever done it?
– Would you try it if you had the chance?
– What would make it a turn-on (or turn-off) for you?Not judging, just genuinely interested in how others feel about it.
As expected, answers came in fast—some gay men were enthusiastic about it, others skeptical. For many, only the idea or fantasy is hotter than reality, like this gay man who replied, “For me it’s hot in theory, but gross in reality. I need to be physically attracted to the person and with a gloryhole, you don’t know what’s on the other side, nor what the other side might ‘gift’ you in regards to an STD. Before anyone comes to explain that meds can cure all that, sure, but I still don’t want them. But to each their own.”
Others, on the other hand, are all about the thrill. One guy admitted, “I’ve used a gloryhole lots of times; I like the anonymity.”
Then there are those who live for the fantasy—and are actively trying to turn it into a lifestyle. “I’ve always wanted to be the blower. It’s one of my favorite porn categories,” said an OTR trucker who have been thinking of a way to turn his sleeper curtain into a built-in glory hole. “I’m wondering how many guys would come into a semi-truck to cum.”
For some, gloryholes aren’t just a fantasy—they’re formative experiences. “My first sexual experience was actually at a glory hole,” one gay man confessed. “Have used many more over the years.”
Moreover, there’s that element of surprise that seems to be part of the allure, especially for men who came of age during a different time. “I used to cruise glory holes all the time during the 90s and for some reason, the BJs at a glory hole were always the best BJs I’ve ever gotten.”
But not everyone is a fan of gloryhole like this guy who prefers a little familiarity, “I think it’s super-hot if you know the person on the other side. It’s like the best of both worlds. Like you get to focus on the dick but you know that you’re into the person.”
It’s similar to this guy who doesn’t want a barrier at all, defeating the purpose of gloryholes. “I personally don’t prefer them because I love when a guy’s hands tangle in my hair, looking at a guy’s facial expressions, and hearing him moan.”
What’s clear from their comments is that gloryholes are far from a one-size-fits-all fantasy. For some, they’re the ultimate erotic experience; for others, they’re impersonal and even off-putting. But regardless of which side you’re on, the topic definitely gets people talking.
Having said all that, it’s important to remember that while the physical barrier of a gloryhole might give a false sense of safety, it doesn’t block sexually transmitted infections. Oral sex can still transmit STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and even HIV in rare cases. Use condoms or barriers when possible, and get tested regularly. If you’re going to explore anonymous play, take smart precautions—not just for yourself, but for your future partners too.
So, what about you, Adam4Adam blog readers? Have you ever tried gloryholes? If not yet, would you ever try one, or is it something that only works for you in porn? What makes it hot—or totally not—for you? Do you think gloryholes are hotter when they’re anonymous, or when you know the person behind the wall? Are they relics of the past, or still very much part of the gay culture of today? Share your stories, thoughts, and fantasies in the comments section below.
Yes I have and I would do again. If there were any locally
I would if that’s the only way I’m going to lose my virginity
I love gloryholes. I first realized I was gay at a gloryhole. I thought I was bi all through school. When I first got sucked at a gloryhole, I was halfway convinced, and when I first sucked a cock through a gloryhole, I was hopelessly in lust with cocks and cum. Asses not long thereafter.
It’s great for those who enjoy its excitement and anonymity. Whether giving or receiving.
Just not for me. I cherish my FWBs who provide its results … and much more.
When I was younger and went to sex clubs, I loved watching guys get sucked off in a gloryhole. One time I went to a guy’s house and he sucked me off behind a bed sheet positioned to be like a gloryhole. Nowadays that doesn’t turn me on anymore because I am most attracted to the face, and I need to watch the guy’s face when he sucks me off.
I would enjoy a shift manning a glory hole.
I would not do it anymore. There was a time when bathhouses and glory holes were fun. This is a different society with crazed druggies doing really sick things. The drugs today have different effects. I was at a sex club in Los Angeles not too long ago. Well there were some guys playing in some glory holes. Suddenly, a loud scream was heard by everyone. A guy runs out with his pants near his knees. He said the guy in the other booth attempted to cut his penis. People were running like someone got shot. I lost my hard-on… Read more »
This is exactly why I have never, and would never, stick my phallus through a hole, not knowing who or what is on the other side.
What you brought up brings up an old adage: You Play; You Pay! Gloryholes remind me of the Black Hole out in space…you never will know what will pop out or engulf when you sick a dick into an abyss such as a Gloryhole?
That has always been my thought, fear of some crazy person that hates gays mite go to a ABS or anywhere a glory hole may be and slice of my dick, but I’m not really into getting my dick sucked by a guy anyway, But I always felt that one day I would hear that that happened to someone, and as much as I enjoy sucking men off, I could never suck off a total stranger, I have to at least get to somewhat know you, and I really need to see a mans face while I’m sucking him, it’s… Read more »
You and I think alike. I feel the exact same way. Not judging anyone that like it, but its not for me. I want to get to know a person first before I go down on him. I have to feel some kind of connection with him giving or receiving.
I have in my younger years a few times but not in today’s world.
That’s my fear of it getting cut off or hurt.
Thoughts of these types of things going on is why I don’t trust GH. You don’t know who is on the other side and what their intentions are.
That sounds like a good way to get chlamydia in your throat.
Neisseria Gonorrhea, Leucoplakia, too
Absolutely not.!! I care too much about my phallus to EVER stick it through a hole in the wall – not knowing what’s on the other side. Who does that.?!! That’s totally careless and imprudent.
You CAN see who is on the other side, and if you don’t like it, you let it go. I never caught anything from someone through a glory hole. Maybe I experienced it during another time, when people were people, and didn’t think of harming anyone.
LOVE LOVE LOVE GLORY HOLES. ANONYMOUS COCK BLOWING A BIG LOAD DOWN MY CUM HUNGRY THROATIS FUCKING HOT.
Used them years ago when I used to cruise the adult bookstores along 42nd Street in NYC. They were a convenient discreet means of hooking up circa 1980. But I haven’t since and would much prefer to be immersed with a whole body and not just the cock.
I love sucking thru glory holes. I have seen some gigantic dicks on guys that aren’t so handsome. Some of those beautiful dicks have come thru that hole in the wall! I do some of my most intense sucking like that. I love hearing men moaning while im working on them. I remember leaving the booth at the same time once and the guy was not handsome . I still enjoyed sucking him and his cum was so tasty.
I always find gloryholes a little bit too sleezy for my taste and the few experiences I’ve had at bath houses were always some old man without his dentures in! Living here in Tucson and the rise of hookup cruising apps have shown that to be true! It’s trolls who can’t hookup other wise, to get married straight men over, they are sketchy a sheet with a hole in it in a door way or something silly like that. it’s like the executioners mask looking like isis fighters! I need to see who and all I’m hooking up with!
Me getting on my knees? Hell no! I’ve had plenty of experiences with glory holes at gay bar bathrooms, gay club bathrooms, bathhouses and at a few gyms, believe it or not. None of those times did I wear a condom when I fucked the guy via glory hole or when the guys gave me a blowjob. I’d like to see the guy who’s dick I’m sucking even if I saw the guy heading into the opposite booth/stall.I’ve envisioned doing it, but, lose interest simply because I start thinking that I’m sucking on a dildo.
I tried it and got hooked. There was a straight friend I wanted to have sex with. One night we were debating about sex. I told him a good mouth can be better than a pussy. I got him a little drunk and talked him into using my makeshift glory hole. He got so excited he didn’t know he went in my ass.
Haha, that’s funny, but he knew… straight guys pretend and act oblivious just as much as gay guys when they play drunk with a hard on.
I was young when I discovered a gloryhole in a bathroom at the park by my house … I sucked a lot of dick there … then when I was 18 one of the guys I’d suck there told me about an adult porno place with video booths and a porn theatre … I was there all the time … it was in a mostly black and Latino part of town and I loved brown dick …. That’s where I started giving up my ass too… fast forward to my 40’s and I’m still occasionally hitting up an ABS in… Read more »
I guess it is pretty obvious from my handle that I have been to a glotyhole or dozens…lol. Started going to them in the mid-1980’s. Used to have one about 20 minutes from my house that I would visit once a week. That place closed years ago but I still enjoy going to them when travelling on business. Very exciting to see a nice cock come through the hole knowing they want me to suck it.
I have many times and would again. If FUGLY is on the other side of the wall, no thanks. It is a very erotic experience and actually some of the strongest orgasms I have ever had and took some of the strongest spurts of cum from dudes I got down on my knees for. I have even had anal sex give and take in some glory holes and again extremely erotic.
NO!
When I was young in my 20s, naive and ultra horny, I found glory holes in men’s rooms at my college. I used them eagerly to suck and get sucked. Also under stall wall. Decades later those are fond memories but I doubt if I would be comfortable sticking my penis through a gloryhole into the unknown. I used to be innocent but now I imagine horrifying possibilities, like someone on the other side slicing my cock off with a machete, or pouring acid on it, or other tortuous horrors. I miss my horny innocence far more than I miss… Read more »
These are urban legends. The worst you might find is someone that doesn’t understand teeth. If you’re on the other side, if your teeth and gums are in good shape, STI chances are minimal. I’ve been sucking dick for 50 years, thousands of them along that time, and no, not one STI. Caveat is I’m also on PrEP and have my Hep shorts. YOU SHOULD, TOO.
How many anon cocksuckers have choked on mine? Countless.
On days when no other cock is available, it could be fun…. I know there’s a threat, but a cock is a cock is a cock, and when there’s no cock in my mouth, I need one (or more)
My first M2M experience was at an ABS near where I grew up. I had never been to an ABS and decided to check it out. As I was checking out the merchandise i saw the arcade. I had to check it out. So, I found a booth and put some bills in to start a movie, This beautiful black cock came through a hole in the wall. This cock was so beautiful I knew I had to taste it. So, I got down on my knees and gave my first blowjob. The feeling of giving this strange guy so… Read more »
Anonymous sex has its place. Both getting and giving head at a glory hole can be incredibly hot and intense. While I generally like watching the guy who’s sucking my dick, touching and rubbing his head, holding his chin, guiding him up and down my fuck stick as it throbs in his mouth, it’s also very erotic to only feel someone’s lips and tongue on my cock and balls without seeing who it is. It gives me a chance to use my imagination as my dick gets harder and thicker, and wonder how they’re going to handle my junk. Will… Read more »
I noticed you said you like to hold a guys chin while he suck your dick, I use to see this guy, he was married as well, he wasn’t into fucking guys, all he wanted was his dick sucked, but he didn’t want me to touch his dick with my hands at all, just use my mouth, I did kinda enjoyed that, but when he was close to cummin he would hold my chin with one hand and jack his dick with the other hand, he then would cum in my mouth while holding my chin, he would always say… Read more »
Yes, I have given blow jobs all over the state of Michigan in hundreds of glory holes. During the 70s, 80s, rest areas, adult bookstores, department stores, parks, had glory holes. You just had to know where to find one and have the patience of Job to wait for that perfect you, that you wanted. Since you could see who it was attached it you could be very picky.
Always enjoy cruising in an ABS when I’m in the mood and the urge strikes. I like to entice a guy in the hallway stroking my cock through my jeans and getting him worked up until we are in adjacent booths. Even hotter if I know him but never unzipped for him. Once in the booth I instruct him to simply lick my cock and keep it OUT of his mouth. I then flop my girthy cock through the hole. It’s hot to hear him moan and try to slip it down his throat. When he does I pull my… Read more »
You tease! : )
Had got hooked on the glory hole scene back in the 90’s when there were peepshows in Times Square…remember going on my lunch hour and sucking this young kid who rolled thru…feeling his cock jump and throb in my mouth as he came was exhilarating, hearing him moan through the partition and feeling his body spasm like he was being electrocuted!..Hot!..they can be fun, but due to real estate being what it is, a few have closed in NYC, and few remaining see more than their share of hustlers and druggies…can be hit or miss, but when you hit can… Read more »
I live in SoCal. In the 90s and early 2000s Glory holes were everywhere and I watched guys use them in office buildings, colleges, and public restrooms. The ABS had them and I saw all types of different dicks sticking through them. A lot of them were hot young guys. I stroked one before. It was big and beautiful.
Been there done that and will keep doing that when i can
Covid pretty much shut down all the glory holes I’ve gone to in the past. But yes, I’ve been on both the giving and receiving side many times and always, always enjoyed it. Never had any STD either. Guys who say they need to see who they’re blowing (or who’s blowing them) puzzle me. For me, looks doesn’t mean that much if they’re a lousy play buddy. A guy who knows how to please you is primary! All blow jobs are definitely not created equal. It’s always fun to discover a seriously talented mouth. Or a respectful and grateful recipient.
For me it’s not just the looks, I got to have a vibe, some kinda connection, see what kinda mind frame you have,feel you out, because I enjoy sucking dick, maybe a little more that I should for a married man, when I’m sucking anutha man off, first of all I want him to enjoy it, because I’m doing it for him for his pleasure, then I want to enjoy his dick as well, I can’t give him a good blow job if I’m wondering what if he has this or that, And most of the time after a blow… Read more »
Not even when I was, ignorant/naive.
My first experience with a gh was while on a business trip in Edmonton, Canada earlier 2000s. I went to this ABS one evening out of curiosity. I made my way to the booths. While inside, this female/male couple can to my gh. I’d seen them out in the merchandise area. Good-looking couple. But she motioned for me to place my dick through the hole. I did. But I wasn’t getting an erection. Smart couple, they changed position and he began playing with my dick. Of course, I got an erection. They both sucked me. Then he placed his big… Read more »
No for 2 reasons:
A – oral does nothing for me
B – I’ld like to know who my partner is
Dying to try one ! It’s been my fantasy
I never gave oral sex through a gloryhole at Adultbookstores. I would get sucked off which I enjoyed.
This was in the mid 80’s and never thought much at the time of HIV or AIDS. Fortunately I never was infected with the virus.
I lived in a hotel for many months in Secaucus and set up a GH with a bed sheet…I can tell you it was super busy, especially with all the construction workers from the area! There was days I had them waiting outside for their turn to come up! There was this one black guy who visited in the morning, sucked him off amd he went to his car and then messaged me asking if he could come up for another round and of course I said yes. Then he was there during his lunch hour and again after work.… Read more »
I’ve only done private glory holes at a person’s house or apartment, so it was quite safe and definitely hot. Several of those guys gave exceptional “make you weak in the knees” blowjobs, which is what I enjoy.
Glory holes are more popular than ever. You can buy a kit online that comes with a case you can travel with & set up in a hotel room or your home.
Guys married to women & guys cheating on their boyfriends or husbands may like them for the anonymity & ease.
Some guys, glory hole sex is all they have.
Glory holes are utilitarian, cocksucker + cock. Not about running fingers through your hair & making eye contact. Some guys it’s to avoid any possible contact except getting off or getting a load.
Did it a few times, until I got Chlamydia. Then, never again.
What a pussy….
No. Not interested in STDs from a stranger
You can get Covid from a stranger too…..
Interested in STDs from someone you know? It probably happens more often than with a stranger.
article is great

I have fucked hundreds of guys through glory holes ! I used to only plow guys who I thought looked hot. But with glory holes, who cares what they look like? I broadened my fuck stats by using glory holes. I only care about how good their fuck tube feels at glory holes. Plus it’s just your dick and the sensation you get through the hole, Pared down to just the pleasurable essentials, I like that.
I am all about some glory holes, bookstores and sex resorts. Some of the best sex (outside of relationships) happened here.
It’s not for everyone but it hits all the bells and whistles for me. Quickness, mystery
and anonymity.
I did catch 1 STI from a bathhouse but thankfully I get tested often and it was caught
before symptoms happened.
Sure, WHY not. I’m not a PURITAN or a PRUDE!!! FUN is FUN and it’s DEF mutual FUN – the giver and the receiver HAVE tons of PLEASURE from the arrangement 🙂
