What is A Glory Hole ?? A glory hole (also spelled gloryhole and glory-hole) is a hole in a wall, or other partition, often between public lavatory stalls or video booths for people to engage in sexual activity or observe the person in the next cubicle while one or both parties masturbate.The partition maintains anonymity. Body parts including fingers and one’s tongue can touch the other person if the hole is large enough and intercourse with anonymity intact is possible.
