To not know what a glory hole is at age 40???

[justcurious40]

My DH brought this clip to my attention earlier:

(about 3 minutes in)

And was shocked that, at 40 years old, I had no idea what a "glory hole" is. I thought he was BU, but everyone else in the programme had hysterics and all knew what it was, so am I just stupidly naive/ignorant?

Hahaha Cartwright - I also discovered what a glory hole was via Judith Krantz in Scruples. Never showed it in the mini series though

Bloody hell, just googled daisy chains....who knew??? I would imagine that takes a fair amount of logistical positioning, who could be bothered??

My mum delightfully announced, on a rare occasion we were all together the other week whilst stroking her new puppy (first dog, who she adores since DF passed away a few years ago)

I have all my family here, and we need to go the woods for a dogging trip

Because in her head, dogging was what you do in the woods with your new puppy

Once we lifted our chins of the floor, and them ourselves from the laughter we explained that wasn't quite what it meant.

Just RTFT. Glad to hear I am not the only one who didn't know, and good that this thread has given everyone a bit of a laugh (not to mention food for thought...daisy chains??? urgh!)

Also just RTFT. Until now aged 45 I was one of those sweet unenlightened types who thought the glory hole was the cupboard under the stairs. Not sure am going to be able to re-educate my DM on this. She calls it that too.

Having used public loos for almost 50 years, I've never seen a glory hole. However, given the state of most of them, it'd take a very professional fluffer to get me to required state to make use of it. Still don't know what a daisy chain is, tho I can picture it.

Glory holes exist in swinging clubs too - not just for the gay community.

I bet you know what dogging is though pangolin! All these people who go dogging in the woods with their family!

Yes bathsheba, I've heard of dogging. Not seen, nor been.

Having walked into a public lav and unfortunately walked in on three older gentlemen in wax jackets and their (small) dicks in each other's hands I can say that some very unsavoury characters frequent public loos! I spat at them and went about my business. I can't say anything about glory holes, but the fact that these types hang around in these places must be a concern of any parent of a male child who could unsuspectingly enter such a place without an adult chaperone. Maybe the gov's measure of reducing these public conveniences has an unexpected positive aspect.

I hope I don't know anyone who has pangolin!

I had to explain to DM why DH and I were sniggering at her talking about a motorcyclist's big helmet last week! How does a woman who's definitely DTD once (I'm proof), get to her 70s and not know what a helmet is?

Oh dear, I'm 60 and didn't know what a glory hole was. Trying to remember if I have ever said something was a glory hole in front of my 3 boys

I recently found myself having to explain to my very prim and proper 84 year old nan what a 'pearl necklace' was. Apparently she'd seen it on the telly and couldn't work out why it was funny. Fuck knows what she was watching but I wanted the ground to swallow me up!

Hehe! I wouldn't worry nanny. We had a surveyor in a couple of weeks ago, measuring up floor plans for CAD designs. I apologised for the various Cupboards of Doom and she breezily replied 'Oh don't worry. We all have our glory holes' .

My mum to be fair has left a very sheltered life, and didn't ever really use the internet until a little while ago. DF was an absolute dinosaur with technology so they lived very happily in their own little bubble. We had been trying to get her to embrace the Internet for a very long time which she now has and delights of this amazing thing called youtube.

I just hope to god she doesn't go OLD.

So not

then? :-)

I'm 47 and genuinely just had to google glory hole.

Sadly the correct definition is an unmessy cupboard, so armed with knowledge from the op this wasn't right, I looked in urban dictionary which happily informed me of that little bit of perversion,, every days a school day isn't it.,😂😂😂

Well a few years ago, we lived in a small village in Scotland, and there was a church run charity shop called the Glory Hole, First time I saw it I totally got the giggles and my mum asked why , I then at 40 explained to my 60 year old mum what one was.. Still makes me giggle thinking about it!

Omg how is it I've lived such a sheltered life and not know any of the terms on this thread???

Just asked DH and he's never seen one in a men's toilet (slightly disappointed). We both knew what one was though. DH has a gay twin so I shall ask him...

There is a song that demonstrates exactly what one is, but it's so rude I'm not going to post a link. It's called Gloryhole and it's by the mock metal band (But they can REALLY play) Steel Panther. Do not watch it under any circumstances.

Took ds to see def leopard and motley crue, tiggy and steel panther were a support act.....bloody hell, I'm no prude but it was a long way from Thomas the tank engine!!!!

I had a friend who at the age of 22 thought "going commando" was having sex dressed in army gear. He said it to a group of us and we all pissed ourselves laughing for hours!

Tiggy,

You reeled me in!
Curiosity overrode my inner voice telling me Googling them was Definitely A Very Bad Idea.

Wow. Just wow
