Wikipedia

  1. Glory hole

    A glory hole (also spelled gloryhole and glory-hole) is a hole in a wall or partition, often between public lavatory cubicles or sex 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, tea-bag or fellate.Glory holes are especially associated with gay male culture, and anal or oral sex, and come from a history of persecution. The partition maintains anonymity and a sense of reassurance that the people involved would not be identified and possibly arrested. However, they are not exclusively favoured by gay people, and have become more commonly acknowledged as a fetish for heterosexual and bisexual couples.In more recent years, public glory holes have faded in popularity in many countries, though some gay websites offer directories of the remaining glory holes. Glory holes are sometimes the topic of erotic literature, and pornographic films have been devoted to the uses of glory holes.
