One of the unexpected consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic is that we’ve got health officials encouraging us to use glory holes.
We’re not making this up. New York started the conversation, and British Columbia have recently issued some guidance confirming that if you want to have sex but minimise your risks of acquiring Covid-19, then getting it on through a glory hole should be near the top of your list of options.
What is a glory hole?
A glory hole is a hole in a wall – the purpose of the hole is so that you can stick your cock through and have it serviced by someone on the other side. Alternatively, you could be the one servicing whatever anonymous cock comes through the hole.
Usually the focus is on oral sex, but if the positions are right then you can get fucked through a glory hole. Some glory holes are designed to be big enough to enable fucking or rimming or whatever you’re into.
When did gay men discover the joy of glory holes?
It’s unlikely we’re going to find a history thesis that puts a precise date on the emergence of glory holes. If we were going to take a guess, we’d probably give the credit to the Ancient Greeks – they seem to have had a bit of a flair for sexual shenanigans. But the earliest documentation about glory holes dates from the early 1700s in London. What’s clear is that glory holes are not a new thing.
In contemporary terms, we tend to associate glory holes with public restrooms, truck-stops, and adult video stores. They became an essential part of our cruising culture – particularly in the days when guy-on-guy action was generally on the down-low.
But a glory hole encounter is an experience that guys really connect with and is still very popular. You can still find glory holes in popular cruising spots, bathhouses and saunas often include glory hole spaces, and some guys set up a glory hole in their house so they can fulfil that fantasy for guys looking to have their cock serviced by an anonymous mouth.
What’s the etiquette of glory holes?
When it comes to navigating a glory hole encounter, the main technique is described as ‘teasing the hole’ – if you’re looking at a glory hole and the guy on the other side runs his finger around the rim of the hole, then you know that it’s game-on.
Anonymity is generally one of the key elements of a glory hole experience. Don’t expect much chat or discussion about who’s doing what to whom.
If you run your fingers around the hole, then the cock is going to come through to you. You don’t get to be too choosy – if you’ve teased the hole and a cock comes through, then you’re expected to get to work.
Obviously, you don’t have to do anything that you’re not comfortable with.
Can I catch Covid-19 if I use a glory hole?
There’s still a lot that we don’t know about Covid-19, so the medical advice around the virus is continuing to evolve. Also, we’re not doctors – we do our best to share what we know but don’t rely on us for medical information.
It seems that the most likely way that Covid-19 is transmitted from person to person is through droplets of saliva from the body. If you have the virus and you cough or spit on someone, then it’s quite likely that you’re passing the virus on to them. That’s why kissing is seen as a fairly high-risk behaviour in this context.
Glory holes are a good option because the wall creates a physical barrier between the two of you. If the only contact is between your mouth and his cock, or your cock and his mouth, then you’re minimising your risk of exposure.
Obviously, it’s not foolproof – there’s still risks. For example, if he spits on his cock to lube it up a bit before he pushes it through the hole, or if multiple guys are sucking the same cock.
Do what you can to minimise your contact with the spit of other guys. Carry some hand-sanitiser with you, and have a shower when you get home.
Can I catch STIs if I use a glory hole?
The short answer is yes. There’s a number of STIs that can be transmitted orally – syphilis and gonorrhea are top candidates. If you’re getting fucked through the glory hole, then that increases your potential STI exposure.
Plus, one of the great things about a glory hole encounter is that you really don’t get much conversation. It’s unlikely you’re going to be having a detailed chat about STI testing history when you’re presented with an anonymous cock pushed through a hole in the wall.

It’s better with high red sox. Everything is.
I love glory holes, they are my absolute favorite. I miss them right now during this crazy pandemic.
I absolutely love Glory Holes, I knew I was Gay very young, and wanted to suck a cock & be fucked so bad, but did not know where to start or go. Then came my introduction to Cock, being totally Gay and addicted to cock ! I went in a restroom at the park, went into a stall, and sat, it had a hole in the wall – Hmmmmm? – I thought, then a finger came in and went around the Hole, so I did the same thing ! NEXT a Gorgeous COCK came thru – Well this little wanna-be – to be – cock slut, started sucking the Cock like I had spied on my mom doing to mens cocks – Well right then and there I WAS ADDICTED TO COCK – I went to the park and suck and sucked and got my reward ‘CUM’ well I just swallowed the whole load.
Needless to say I was at the restroom everyday after and sneaking out at night also for COCK, I was loving sucking cock and hoped for more, as i was using a dildo of my moms that i stole and getting my hole ready for that day ! Well I was well know to all the park cocks as a good ‘Cocksucker’ AND one night that I decided to go to the park, as it was becoming a necessity (and luck enough mom worked at night) well these 2 guys came in one went in the next stall and his cock was right in my mouth, the other came in my stall which I never locked hoping to get something more – he said “Now its time you become a real ‘Cock Whore’ lifted me up – cock still in my mouth, put some spit on my hole and in went his ‘COCK’ —- OMG — I was ready and in a few it felt Soooooooooo Good – then after he loaded my hole up the other Guy took my hole – I WAS TOTALLY ADDICTED AND FULLY GAY FROM THAT DAY ! Then I Became the real ‘Cock Whore’ of the park, word got around like wild fire and as soon as my Tight young ass entered the park – the cocks would flock to the ‘Cock Whore’ I was taking cock after cock daily – and became obsessed with COCK from then & forever! Then I got bolder and started getting Girl clothes little by little, stealing from laundry room, then going to the Park as a Little Sissy Bitch – COCKS flocked – Well now I am a Gay Tranny Slut and totally addicted to Cock & servicing Mens Cocks anywhere at anytime — All from a Glory Hole Start – So Thank You Glory Hole World and all the Cocks that are presented thru the ‘Glorious Glory Hole’ — P.S. I still will frequent Glory Holes as much as possible & other venues, and never forget my sweet & memorable ‘Cock Slut’ – Glory Hole beginnings – resulting in enjoying the wonderful Gay World and being a ‘Total – Cock addicted, Cock Worshiping, Gay Tranny Cock Slut Whore’ for mens COCKS ! Wet Cock Kisses — Lily
Hottest story ever – same GH intro story as – still there hottest! Wish we had met in one in of those park restrooms – jacking off think about it now – oops my load came before I was ready cum to spare
I wish there were more public gloryholes around like at toilets, restrooms etc or in shopping malls, but for this to really take off & happen we all need to contribute & make gloryholes out & about, i know what is needed is a circular drill bit to cut the perfect shape, you can use google for instructions to make a discreet gloryhole at a location, the basics needed are the drill with a circular drill bit, some sand paper to sand the hold after making it & some simple clean up tools for any extra rubbish on the floor left behind, not forgetting a bad of sorts like a rucksack to keep your drill etc inside so no one notices you doing these things.
