I can’t answer that, but the one I was in had wood stalls. It had once been very nice wood, too.
One does not. But most stall partitions are made of wood. (At my library, they covered the wood with sheet metal to prevent drilling.)
You know, until just now, I thought “glory hole” was an old euphemism for a latrine. Well, learn something new every day.
But, what is the appeal of this – sex with another person whose face you can’t see and whose presence is reduced to the genitals alone – when you are in a setting where you could just as easily have a face-to-face, whole-body encounter?
(Sorry, my mind runs in all directions with this concept.)
If a gentleman were to place is private parts through such a hole, thinking another gentleman was in the adjoining cubicle, but in fact a lady was in said cubicle …
I see something from Will & Grace’s farewell episode here.
Wasn’t there a glory hole scene in the movie The Sweetest Thing?
The movie with Christina Applegate, Selma Blair, and Cameron Diaz.
One of the girls is in the stall and sees the hole in the wall. She hears something and leans over to look through the hole and gets poked in the eye by some guys johnson. It was pretty funny.
in one of their first gigs, the austin punk band The Dicks did a song called Saturday Night in the Bookstore. Gary Floyd basically ranting at the crowd about seeing them at the bookstore giving head through the glory hole. it is as obnoxious and hilarious a punk moment as i have eve heard.
i think you could search and find it on the web. i’m posting from a pda so it’s tough for me noseriously wor h a listen
As if this thread isn’t funny enough, I get to the bottom of the postings and find four advertisements: one for paper hole punches, two for drill bits and one for router bits. Some dealers are obviously hoping that all this talk about “glory holes” will lead to some sales. No doubt.

I’m a huge fan so you can read about the concert and it’s honestly worth checking out the interview. Or you can just read the lyrics and below are just some highlights:
Everybody hangin’ out on a Saturday
Loose it man, we go to the bookstore and pay our fuckin’ paychecks right in the glory hole
I’m in love with the glory hole. I’m in love with the glory hole.
Another Saturday night at the bookstore.
I remember seeing glory holes quite often when I was a kid in Wisconsin. I had no idea what they were but I saw them often enough I remember wondering why that particular form of vandalism was so popular. It seemed like an awful lot of work to hammer a hole through the metal wall of the stall, just to be destructive.
Most of the holes had sharp edges too, so I’m guessing signaling with a finger, or maybe just peeking was their main use.
Wherever I’ve lived it seems there’s at least one bathroom or public park where it’s known that guys cruise for sex. It’s always fascinated me how those places get started and then get known.
Even on military bases.
Different strokes for different folks BrainGlutton. If you don’t get it then I wouldn’t waste too much time wondering why other people do (I take the same approach to people who are into excrement, it works for them but I don’t understand it).
Possibly it’s the idea of just getting off, with no emotional interaction on purpose? Truly strings-free sex?
I’ve been wondering about it myself. I can kind of see it. But seeing as there’s nothing of mine I can realy stick through a glory hole, other than a finger, guess I’ll never find out. 
You must have lived in a different Wisconsin than I do, because I’ve never seen a hole in a bathroom partition wall here. And I’ve lived here for 33 years, all over the state.
In my time on this earth, I have learned that the range of sexual kinks is simply boundless.
What I want to know is, if the “gopher” pops his head through the hole, and you’re not interested, do you give them an audible “no thanks?” Just walk away? It just seems rude not to respond at all.
You scream really loud and say “A MAN!” and then run out of the bathroom waving your arms over your head and emitting high-pitched shrieks.
Pretty much - there is a whole etiquette around glory holing but if you stick it through a hole and the “fish doesn’t bite” then you just need to give up. Or, if you were so inclined, invite them to put there’s through so you can service them. However if you’re at a glory hole to do the servicing, I can’t imagine why you’d get picky over what you were being offered (unless of course it was a particularly ugly/small/unclean penis that was proffered) - one penis is very much as good as another if you’re not seeing the owner, really.
The proper protocol involves the person looking to go down sticking his finger through the hole and the penis coming in response to that. If a penis pops through the hole unannounced, I’d suggest hitting it hard, just like when little Susie uses the salad fork for dessert.
Use one of these .
Who knew?
