Glory Holes

Gloryholes are really in right now, they've made some kind of a bizarre comeback. The practice always seemed a little outdated, but clearly the market is crying for more of that famous facilitator of incognito sex. At first it was only the smaller fetish studios pumping out the gloryhole titles – most of which were short and extremely underwhelming. The closest we got to an enjoyable and well-cast release was Chaosmen's G:Hole. But now that big names like Raging Stallion Studios and High Octane are exploring the subgenre with their jointly-produced film Glory Holes, there's definite confirmation that the covert cock hole is coming back in vogue.

It's hard to pinpoint where and why the once-famous sexual fetish fell into disrepute. The act itself probably had a lot to do with the symbolization of closeted gay men in more conservative eras and the fear of being recognized elsewhere. Even so, many men did and still do get a rise out of the anonymity associated with it regardless of the cultural climate.

As if in a show of the changing nature of sexual tolerance, director Herve Bodilis has decided to feature a unique version of the glory hole in his first scene with Jack Wright and Danki Bell. Rather than completely hidden from each other's view, the two gents can see each other through the top half of the wall, which is made of glass, while the lower half resembles the traditional gloryhole format. It may cause some to argue the point of the hole and divider in the first place – if the mystery is gone, than why not just fuck without an unnecessary obstacle? But let's go with the post-modern partition for the moment, to see where Wright takes us with it.

Jack seems to like the glass – kissing and licking it in a display of affection towards Danki, who watches from the other side. After making out with his reflection for a bit, he sticks his massive uncut cock through the hole for Danki to suck. Seeing it shoved through there is incredibly erotic. There definitely is something about sucking cock without directly seeing the body attached that makes this scene hot regardless of the glass.

After a few minutes the guys join each other on the one side of the booth where Jack continues his oral attention on the monster in front of him. The muscle boys swap roles and then manage to navigate the inherent problems of trying to fuck in such a small room by having Danki jump on top of that massive tool and riding it hard. The anal acrobatics continue with a hot piledriver, which really gives these guys points (such a hot position, though this reviewer prefers watching the reverse).

They finish off in this position after Jack pulls out and the naughty Euro stud blows his load over Danki's hairy hole, smacking his cock on the mess a few times to send the message home. Since he's in an upside-down position anyway, Danki chooses to cum in his own mouth and slurp up his juice rather than letting it go to waste.

Steve, Cade Nicholas and Giuseppe Pardi are up next for a fun-filled orgy sans gloryhole. Wright has implemented a few other barriers though, in keeping with theme, including some prison bars that make up the backdrop to assumingly the same sex club as the previous scene. The guys and the action are very hot - the double anal being the highlight. It seems like that act is increasingly becoming the norm in a lot of mainstream gay porn, and you won't find any complaints from us on that front. One hopes the performers are being paid double for it though, it must be rough.

The rest of the film is made up of either group or one-on-one scenes in the club, each with their own merits, but the first two scenes remain the film's best. The gloryhole isn't utilized in every scene, but those wanting to see it again should check out the three-way in scene five with Chris Hacker, Tattoo Junior and Giuseppe once again.
