Ricky Gervais' Glory Hole Story

Does anyone know if the story Ricky Gervais told during his recent stand-up tour about a son performing fellatio on his father through a glory hole in a public men’s restroom in England is true? He said it was reported in the local papers near his home town. If true, the story would have occurred 20-30 years ago. I can’t find anything to substantiate it.

Ive heard other versions of it before and always assumed it was an urban legend, but who knows.

It seems unlikely that such a thing would be reported in a British local paper, and certainly not that long ago - at least not in any kind of detail beyond ‘a man was arrested for indecent behaviour’.

It is an urban legend. There are many versions of the “incest committed through anonymous / drunken sex” story: brother-sister is the most common. Newspapers and TV news stations do occasionally report urban legends as true, because basic fact-checking will usually find unrelated people who believe the story, so there is no reason to think that he made any part of this up himself. ETA: the comment above makes a good point, though!

Sounds like a variant of the old businessman discovers the prostitute he hired is his daughter legend.

This one’s less plausible, though… A john and prostitute will typically meet face-to-face, but isn’t anonymity the whole point of a glory hole? Even if a son did service his father, how would anyone (the participants included) know?

Not as direct, but this is a 2005 story about a Swedish man who got busted for exposing himself to minors over the internet when his 13-year-old daughter recognised his home office. She thought she’d been chatting with a 17-year-old.

I can only find one reference in a online Norwegian newspaper, but I remember it being widely reported at the time: http://www.ringblad.no/Utenriks/article1699923.ece

He recognized the taste of his sister on his father’s dick.

Usually the hole is large enough that if you really want to see the other person’s face, you can . . . either before, during or after.

And anonymity isn’t usually the main consideration; getting off is.

I just watched this tonight and Gervais is telling a story that someone he went to school with (who has a reputation for telling stupid sexual stories) told him. He says “apparently there was a bit of a scandal in his neighborhood. A guy a few doors from him got caught for lewd behavior…” then he goes straight into the story. He doesnt say he was arrested in the story or anything and it’s a third hand story from someone who gervais says tells funny sex stories.
