Glory holes may have been a punchline in high school, but in college they’re the real deal. I don’t see why people obsess over graffiti and grout puns—what about the myth of restroom sexual deviancy?
Glory holes are usually found in rest stops, sex shops and yes, college campus restrooms. They tend to be at the end of the row of stalls, farthest from the entrance. Drilled, poked out or cut, the holes are more than a peeper’s delight. Initially, glory holes were designed for gay sex, coming from the necessity to be discreet in a traditionally homophobic society. Now, glory holes are more novelty than necessity, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Glory holes are easier to use for oral sex, as penetration can force some awkward positions. As for protocol, one Web site claims that the receiver initiates the act by sticking his finger through the hole and beckoning the other to come through. Others are under the impression that you just thrust your penis over to your neighbor. Frankly, I don’t think most people will react kindly to an uninvited member.
