Glory Hole Etiquette
The process is very simple but there are still a few things you need to know. When you enter the arcade area of and Adult Book Store, you will see one or more rows of doors that lead into the video booths. There are normally several ways of determining if a booth is occupied. The most common is “red” and “
green” lights located above each
door. Once money is inserted into the video machine, the light turns from red (vacant) to
green (occupied).
Once you find a vacant booth, enter it and put money or tokens into the video machine. This is how the store makes their money and the employees
check them on a regular basis. You will see channel select and volume control features on the front of the video machine. If you are there to “give”, just put your
finger through the hole and rub it along the
bottom. This is the common signal letting the person on the other side know you are ready to receive. If you are there to “receive”, just wait for the same signal. The common que to notify the “receiver” of ejaculation is a few light taps on the
wall.
Some locations have rows of booths which allows each booth to have a hole on both sides.
