1.0 Definitions

What's a gloryhole?

A glory hole is usually defined as a small fist-sized hole between private booths (usually the coin-operated movie booths) in an adult bookstore. It is placed about hip high for the average guy and is just big enough to place a man's hard cock through to let the person on the other side perform oral, or whatever sexual activity he or she pleases on it.

There are many different variations on the traditional gloryhole . . . . .

Buddy booths are video booths where a glass partition with curtains on each sides separates the booths. There is a button on each side that first raises and then lowers one (but not the other) curtain. When both buttons are pressed by both people, both curtains rise and you can see each other. Buddy booths were designed to allow people to see but not necessarily touch each other. Some businesses have modified the booths so that the glass doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of the curtain. This allows you to see and touch; stick your cock through, or a hand, etc.

Another type of glory hole is a 'tea room'. These are usually small holes between toilet stalls on the Interstate highway or in a shopping malls.

What is a private video booth in an adult bookstore?

Most (not all) adult bookstores have an area where you can put a token, a dollar bill or a quarter into a slot and have an X-rated video play for about 60 seconds on a TV screen in front of you. These booths are small enough (for example, 3' x 6') for one person to sit down and lock the door behind them. In some areas, these booths no longer have doors on them. Most places frown on having more than one person in a booth. Some however actually encourage it by advertising "couples booths".

OK, what's a "couples booth"?

This is basically the same as a regular video booth, just larger to accommodate for more than one person. It may have a larger than normal seat or a bench. The important point is that this is a booth that the establishment will tolerate more than one person being in.

What if the bookstore caters solely to 'straight' videos and books? Will there be any chance for action?

Totally! In fact, for bisexual or married guys, this is where its at! They can go into a place that they can have sex with another guy and not worry about someone see them go in and "blow their cover".


2.0 What do you do in these video booths?

Its basically all about getting off. Some people like to watch, some like to be watched, but pretty much everyone is there to blow their load.


3.0 How do I get started? What's the protocol?

There is not alot of verbal communication. Everything is mostly communicated by a fairly standard protocol:

3.1 If you want to be the person who helps the other person cum:

  1. Go into a booth; close and lock the door, if possible.
  2. Drop some money in the video machine.
  3. Sit down if the establishment provides a place to sit.
  4. Expose your cock and get hard.
  5. Wait for someone to come into the booth next to you or check the person out in the next booth by looking through the glory hole. Don't worry or be too shy about this part... mostly people are there to engage in activity of some sort with someone else.
  6. If you're interested, stick your finger through the gloryhole far enough so that the other person sees it. Withdraw it from the hole to show him you are ready to receive his cock. If you want him to use a condom, place it in the hole between you now.
  7. If the other person wants to play with you, he'll stand up and place his dick through the hole. If he's not interested, he'll most likely ignore your request for a little fun. If he wants to use the rubber you volunteered, he will take it now. Sometimes the guy will just want you to watch him jerk off. Alot of guys in the booths have 'voyeur' tendencies and just being watched is a huge turn-on.

3.2 If you want to be the person who blows their load:

  1. Go into a booth; close and lock the door, if possible.
  2. Drop some money in the video machine.
  3. Standing up is the general indicator that you are ready to be on the receiving end and not interested in sucking cock or giving a hand-job right now.
  4. Expose your penis and get yourself a raging hard-on. Its gong to be hard to find someone to play with you if you don't at least have your cock at half-mast.
  5. Wait for someone to stick their finger through the glory hole. This signals they are ready for you to put your dick through the hole.
  6. Put a rubber on now if you want. Place your cock through the hole. Some guys will just play with you; others will suck your dick; a few will want you to actually fuck them in the ass.

3.3 If you want to take turns giving and receiving the fun:

The general signal that you want to take turns is to stand up (if so far you've been receiving the dudes cock) and shows yourself exposed and hard. This lets him know that its time for him to pull his cock out of the hole and let you put your through. Your best opportunity to make this happen is to find someone who is sitting down (looking to play with someone) and is willing to play with you (responds when you stick your finger through the glory hole).

Now one of two things will happen; either the guy will withdraw his dick and get ready to pleasure you, or he will ignore your signal and keep his cock in the gloryhole. If he's really not interested, he may leave and look for someone else to play wiht in another booth.

Sometimes the person on the receiving end will decide on their own they want to help you get off. He will show this by taking his cock out of the hole before he blows his spunk and putting his finger through the hole. If you want to be on the receiving end for a while, place your penis through the glory hole. If you don't want to be played with, stick your finger back through the hole after he does. Negotiate from there.

Often times when I've been out cruising and am sucking a cock through the hole, they signal they want to return the favour and want me to put my dick through. Often I don't.... many guys take this as some sort of brush-off, but its not meant that way. If I'm really horny and am looking forward to getting alot of cock in one night I might not be into risking putting my cock though to get blown and cum too early!!

3.4 If you're looking to have anal sex:

Follow the same procedure as above, except place your asshole as close to the glory hole as possible. When the guy on the other side sees your hole, he will try to fuck you through the glory hole. Soon you'll feel his finger or cock pressing against your anus. Becasue he can't see very well, help him out and guide his penis or finger to where you want it to be. If the guy isn't fairly well hung, actually getting some hard cock up your ass can be tricky.

And never, EVER, have anal intercourse without a rubber. Ever.

3.5 Having sex with someone in a restroom stall:

Bathrooms at rest stops are pretty much the only possible area for anonymous sex action for many remote areas of the country, this makes them a favorite for burly truckers looking to get off...

Go to a stall at the farthest end of the bathroom. Close the door, pull your pants down and wait. Jerk off quietly while you're waiting. When someone comes into the next stall, move your foot so that you know the other person can see it and slowly start tapping it. If the other person is also out for a little cock, they will kneel down and place their dick under the stall wall.


4.0 Is this safe?

4.1 Physical

I've never heard of anyone getting hurt by someone in the next booth through a glory hole. The only time I ever heard of anything bad happening in an adult bookstore is when it gets busted for letting things get too out of hand or someone insists that they can hang around waiting for just the right guy without spending any money. See section 9.0 Most things I have heard are urban legends - the old "friend of a friend of a friend" who had his penis cut off by a gay basher. I'll believe it when I see it in print.

By the way, I keep emphasizing that you should lock the door behind you when you enter the video booth. I say that because there are guys that wait until they think you are exposed and doing something then fling your door open.

4.2 Legal

I'm sure this activity is illegal in some cities or states. You take your chances and you get your thrills. As a safety point with little legal knowledge, I always make sure that the other person has his penis exposed before I put my penis through the glory hole. Not just hard through his pants. Not just rubbing his crotch. Actually out.

Not sure what that does for me legally; I'm just sure a judge would have a hard time hearing that from a police officer on the witness stand. In general, be discrete and don't be stupid and you shouldn't have any problems.


5.0 Talking seems like a no-no... ALL talking?

Pretty much the only words that get exchanged are:

"Do you wanna get a room?"

"Do you wanna go to my place?"

"Do you wanna get out of here?"

"Show me your asshole." or "I want to fuck you."

"Don't cum in my mouth." (or 'finish', 'go', etc.)

"I wanna suck your cock."

And so on.

Sometimes, a guy will ask if he can join you in your booth. See section 6.0.


6.0 So can two or more people share a booth?

This is usually a no-go, but it does happen. A few places actually encourage it. The way to let someone into your booth is:

  1. Make eye contact on the outside area (before you go into a booth). Wait to see if it is returned.
  2. Move to a spot in the booth area where few or no people are.
  3. Go into your booth and leave the door unlocked.
  4. Wait to see if he follows you in.

The reverse procedure is followed if he goes into a booth first.

Again, don't be shy. If some guy makes eye contact with you before going into a booth, and it looks safe, check the lock on the door. If it is open, then he wants you to join him. If the door is locked, then you were mistaken. Move on to some other cock!

Its also possible to negotiate this by communicating through the gloryhole.

Four points about this:

  1. The wall between booths does provide a nice safety barrier. Do you need to be in the same booth? Aren't you going cum just the same?
  2. If the bookstore doesn't dig couple action, you will be bounced out faster than you can imagine. Two guys in one booth is less money for the establishment.
  3. Keep a your pants up while you're waiting for your intended 'buddy', and keep a quick hand on your door. If some other guy beats you're intended to your booth, just reach out and close the door after he opens it. After you guys are settled in the booth, then is the time to get your pants down and play.
  4. Alot of men just want to jerk off with someone -- they will not want you to touch them. This can be pretty common with married or 'straight' guys that aren't looking for actually physical contact with another man.

7.0 After I help him cum will the other guy help me get off too?

More often than not, the guy will return the favour and you'll both leave happy. That said, many times guy on the other side will usually pull up his pants and leave the booth and bookstore after he blows his load. He's finished what he came to do. But, there are numerous exceptions to these rules. Every guy can be looking for something different.


8.0 Is there any etiquette with videos?

Its not uncommon if you have someone else in your booth for them to change the channel without asking. Most guys are there to get off as quick as possible, and if something on a different chanel is what they're looking for, then they'll probably go for it. You shouldn't feel slighted.


9.0 Are there cover charges at these bookstores?

some do not ask for a cover charge for being there. Some charge a small amount ($1-$5). Some insist that you buy a minimum of non-refundable tokens. Generally, as long as you are spending cash in there establishment, you can expect to be left alone.

Also, if you get into a booth together, it is generally accepted that both people put money into the slots.


10.0 Do I need to bring anything (lube or ... )?

Money is the only must-have (well condoms obviousally if your looking to fuck). Some kind of lubrication if you need it. Maybe some tissues to tidy up... its not very courteous to leave your spooge for someone to clean up.

If you to blow your load, aim for the waste basket. Never cum on the chair or seat!


11.0 What kinds of guys go to these places?

All types - good-looking, ugly, fat, thin, clean, smelly, young, old, bald, hairy, effeminate, muscular, leather, jocks, some twinks... and the list just goes on.

Mostly single guys, but I have seen married guys in these places as well. In fact, married guys are usually a little better about using a condom than the single guys.

A question oftens comes up about overly aggressive guys in bookstores. These questions normally revolve around this scenario:

A guy that you are not interested in has started pursuing you - following you from booth to booth and whispering to you, begging you to do something to him or vice versa. How do you discourage him?

If ignoring him (no eye contact at all) doesn't work, my advice is either a) leave and come back at a later time or b) find a video booth with no holes and just spend a few dollars in there - hoping he will find a new love interest. There really is not a lot you can do if someone decides to be an asshole.

Some types not usually seen in adult video booths?

Tranny, hustlers looking for cash... though not common you may happen upon guys just looking to watch a video who may have no idea that the booths are used for contact (visual or otherwise) between two people.


12.0 What if I see somebody I know in one of these places?

It can happen. In short, anyone you see in an adult bookstore near the video booth area has as much "explaining" to do as you do. Walk up to them, call them a pervert and see how they respond. If they are ignoring you, ignore them. They want to make believe they don't know you. If you're going to go out for a night of 'play' it might be a good idea to go somewhere out of your immediate area (if this is possible) to lessen the chance of running in with someone you know.


13.0 OK, how do I find glory holes?

Look in the largest nearby city for places that exclusively rent X-rated videos. Also look for places offering video booths, couples booths or "buddy" booths in newspapers in that city. The web have a huge resource of site with detailed lists of gloryholes and good places to cruise. Check out cruisingforsex.com or squirt.org to start.


Sex through glory holes is different; but not a LOT different.

Enjoy! And be safe and careful.
