Glory hole
Meaning
Glory holes are holes usually found on the walls of public toilet and adult film arcade booths.
Their purpose is to have a sexual intercourse, while being able to maintain anonymity.
Upon encountering this magical little portal, with an underwhelming surprise at the other side, one can decide to give or receive pleasure and sign to the other side, accordingly.
Those wishing to be the more charitable participants, may signal this, by putting their finger through the hole – hope for the best – and if all goes well, just wiggle it a bit at the bottom.
