Nothing is 100% safe, but they are certainly safer with a condom. It also depends who provides the condom... if their cock is presented sheathed - how many before you have sucked it? IME most GH users don't use condoms.

No. They can be found in clubs and venues, as well as in public places

No. I'd go to a club - get the feel for the scene more. A one-on-one with someone you've talked to and got to know will provide a much better and safer experience. Mutual respect and trust is important.

Please, ignore all the "fantasy stories" you read about GH - 99% are just that, fantasies.

Condom or not - the gloryhole itself will be subject to having men's private-parts rubbed all over it on both sides through the course of a day. Traces of dead-skin , semen , discharge , pubic-lice etc.
Even if the cleanest cock in the world comes through that hole with a negative-HIV test certificate wrapped around it - you've still got to interface with that stinking , dirty bit of hardware , which is the hole itself. Not to mention what's on the floor you are trying to kneel on.

Nearly all gay/bi saunas have them and are very popular as the public ones are very thin on the ground now days due to Local Council service funding shortages !

No. That's a fucking ignorant comment Alleycat and not the first time.

Lack of council funding would surely lead to non-repair of gloryholes in toilets etc. This would give more opportunity not less.

Also , would you care to discuss the hygiene aspect or are you quite happy posting after all my threads on a completely different tack - as if I don't fucking exist?

█ Caution! █

I'm sure we can discuss stuff in a civil manner. I hope so, anyway....

But that's the problem Jo.
This guy won't discuss fucking anything. He just comes in sniping and then fucks off without a thought.
Maybe he thinks he's doing a public service - who knows what goes on in someone's head.

I certainly consider the majority of his posts to be quite calculatingly disruptive.

Oh the good old days when there were lots of public toilets, some were nice and clean and some were dirty. I preferred the dirty as they had the desired hole to poke my cock through. Loved reading the graffiti too and those pics of cock and balls, memories...

Oh yeah - fond memories of kneeling in a pool of piss in front of a hole that looks like it's been used as a waste-disposal inlet as yet another pensioner's 4 inch flopper tries to entice me to oral ministration.

In a league table of unhygienic places, I wonder where we'd find NHS hospital wards and public lavatory glory holes?

I've never used one before (glory holes, I mean) and they're not really on my to-do list.

I've been enjoying GH's for possibly 40 years.Tthey were in adult stores and usually dirty or dirtier. The smell & feel of the places was fitting the dirty sex I was getting and later giving. I've been to bath house. Guy theaters, wooded areas but never in public areas. It's great working a strangers cock, through that hole. Some of the hole are big enough to put a hand through while sucking. Even fuck a man pussy.

I absolutely love gloryholes. True the majority of them are in Adult Book Stores, but you can also find them in some bathroom stalls. I love to suck a cock that has just been put through a gloryhole, or insert mine to get a good blowjob. You are quite right in assuming the use of a condom will decrease the chance of something unwanted, but bear in mind in you wear one you may not get sucked in a gloryhole.
