Speaker 1: 0:49

Do the sex Think fun, honest and feminist as fuck, and always with the goal of fighting the patriarchy. One female orgasm at a time. Welcome to the locker room. Today's locker Talk and Shots topic reboot gives listeners a peek inside the world of glory holes and adult theaters through the eyes of a woman who has frequented both, both on her own and with a partner.

Speaker 1: 1:25

There are a lot of surprises throughout this episode, but if you have not joined me on my YouTube channel at Annette Benedetti, now is the time to do it, folks, because when you get to the end of this episode, if you have comments, questions, a story of your own that you want to share, you are going to be able to do it there. You can drop your thoughts, your questions in the comment section and I will be responding either on my own or I will get a professional to help me get you the answers you are searching for. We can also just have a conversation over there. Buckle up, this episode gets pretty wild. Cheers, cheers. Today's locker room talk topic is glory holes and sex cinema. I'm fucking excited about this conversation because, well, it's pretty shocking to me that this really is a thing and it really is, and I have a guest here with me today who has been here before on one of our most popular episodes, which was Confessions of a Cuck Queen. Ellen is back and I'm going to have Ellen introduce herself. Hi there.

Speaker 2: 2:39

Ellen here. Yes, confessions of a Cuck Queen. That was me. Among other adventurous things, I do enjoy glory holes and cinemas, and so I'm really excited to talk about that today. Yeah, I'm just adventurous and slutty and love exploring and trying new things.

Speaker 1: 3:03

So, yay, and I love that. I love that, and if you haven't listened to it yet, you're going to want to go back and you're going to want to check out our episode we did together called Confessions of a Cut Queen. It sort of blew my mind and led us to this conversation. So today we are celebrating Ellen. Is your two years sober right?

Speaker 2: 3:25

Not quite. No, I'm a year. I'm probably like 14 months or so, you're four, maybe more, right?

Speaker 1: 3:31

Well, anyways, she's doing better than me. So Ellen is drinking a what?

Speaker 2: 3:38

I'm drinking an energy drink. It's a Petey's Bing Crisp Very exciting stuff. It's an apple and cherry juice energy drink.

Speaker 1: 3:49

I'm partying really hard right now yeah, she's, she's partying up over there. I um had, I did pick it. I couldn't help but pick a themed cocktail for this uh podcast. I was like I was wondering are there glory hole themed cocktails out there? Of course there are, and the one that I I found too that I thought was most inappropriate for everybody always is Elmo at the Glory Hole. It is a drink called Elmo at the Glory Hole. So no, your childhood, your childhood, is going to be ruined after this podcast. Basically and I will get it up in the notes and on sheexploreslifecom.

Speaker 1: 4:34

So, ellen, let's get into it. No one wants to wait around to find out about Gloria Holes. So raise our glasses and cheers, ellen. Now let's talk about sex. All right, ellen, we're going to dive in.

Speaker 1: 4:49

So, of course, I did my due diligence and decided to look up glory holes A I went down a rabbit hole of porn which, oddly, was titillating and I might've had an orgasm, anyways, but beyond that, then I actually found legitimate information I want to share with you before you take me inside a glory hole. We're going to start with glory holes, by the way, and then go to sex cinema. So I found a website I am not going to link to it. Guys, you're going to have to find it yourself. It's called.

Speaker 1: 5:22

I think it's called gloriesholecom and it it offers up a map of all the glory holes and and I think it's global. But what I? So I actually thought I thought the glory holes that America, the US, the puritanical nation we are currently living in, would not have a lot of glory holes, but compared to the glory holes around the world, like the US was just black, with like locations of glory holes. I mean, they're fucking everywhere. So I found that shocking. But, listeners, if you want to find a glory hole for yourself, they're out there. I think they're in most states. They're in most states.

Speaker 1: 6:37

The other thing that I came across that I thought you've got a wall between you and another person so it really is the safer sex so, uh, for listeners are don't know what a glory hole is and have just listened to all of us and they're like what the fuck are you talking about? Can you define clearly what a glory hole is?

Speaker 2: 7:02

Yeah, um, in my experiences, a glory hole is, um, just a room that you can walk into. Um there'll be another room side, so it's side by side. There'll be a wall in between these two rooms and just one hole at like waist height, um, where it's totally anonymous. You don't't see the other side and they can just put their wiener through that hole and whatever you want. It's pretty brave really, I mean. But yeah, that's my real clear description of what a glory hole is.

Speaker 1: 7:45

So let me try to create a picture, if you will, of what, what you're talking about. So you go to a building. I assume it's a location. Is it a? Is it a house? Is it.

Speaker 2: 8:00

No, they're actually all over Portland area, our area um. They are in littered throughout adult sex stores sex stores.

Speaker 1: 8:14

Are we talking about toy store? Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2: 8:18

Yep, is that what that curtain is. Um, if you see something that has an arcade in it, there's most likely a glory hole in there.

Speaker 1: 8:30

So they label it arcade, yeah, and you walk in and, but you don't know, are there separate interest entrances for the person who might be sucking or taking in the wiener that's coming through the hole?

Speaker 2: 8:47

Yes, yes, um, in the wiener that's coming through the hole. Yes, yes, Um, there's the one that I was in. I mean, I can try to paint a little picture of what it looks like. Yes, please, just imagine you walk into a sex store or a toy store, whatever you want to call it, and you know, and walking around, there's arcades, arcades, and that's a back room. There'll be a doorway that you can go into and that's where you can pay to watch porn.

Speaker 2: 9:17

Basically, each room has its own TV. It's got a door. You shut it, you can lock it, you just put dollar bills in and that keeps the movies playing. Um, there's a chair inside of each room and these rooms are probably, I would say, like eight feet by eight feet. So, um, I mean, it's a pretty small, little little area. It's not a big area, um, but you have to keep the money in there to be able to stay in there. I mean, it's a pretty small little area, it's not a big area, but you have to keep the money in there to be able to stay in there. I mean you have to keep the movie playing to be able to stay in there. You can't just go in and shut the door and expect to not be hassled by the front desk worker.

Speaker 2: 10:03

But there's different locations have different rooms that you can go into. Some of them are just voyeur rooms, so you can, inside of your own room you have control over whether you want to have a voyeur window up or down, and that can be on one side of you. On the other side of you can be the glory hole and you have control of that as well in that room. So you can either put it up or down, Right, so you can have somebody watching you on one side and have the glory hole open on the other side. Um, yeah, and then um. On the third. The third wall is where the TV is. Um, you just have to keep feeding. Keep feeding that with money and still let you stay in there.

Speaker 1: 10:54

All right. So my question is the person on, let's say, each side there's one person watching you while you're receiving the wiener coming through. I never say wiener, I like cock, but we're going to go with wiener. You started it through the glory hole. Does everyone have TVs going? They have to keep feeding. Yes, so, you're all just pumping like money into the TVs while you.

Speaker 2: 11:22

Yeah, I haven't really ever kept track, but I feel like it's like $5 for three minutes. Holy shit, I don't know, don't quote me. All right, that doesn't surprise me if it was that high. I mean that's.

Speaker 1: 11:37

Well, and I would imagine it's different at every glory hole I would imagine. So, okay, are. Is that the only way that glory holes are set up, or are there? I'm like in my imagination and I think in the porn that I've watched it seemed like there were locations like the porn that I kept. Okay, maybe I watched more than one glory hole episode. I'm just saying it might have happened. It's always like a room where let me set the stage where there are multiple holes and it seems like sometimes there's men behind them, but usually women. Sometimes the women have their vagina up against the hole, sometimes their mouth, whatever, and then people can just come in and and and like, use each hole. Is that like a thing or is that just porn?

Speaker 2: 12:36

I think I think I've seen that porn. Actually, we've watched the same porn, yeah.

Speaker 1: 12:43

We're bonding and they put the face pictures of the faces next to the holes. Is that a thing?

Speaker 2: 12:49

It's like wood.

Speaker 1: 12:51

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2: 12:52

No, I wish I mean that's kind of a fantasy of mine for that to be a thing for sure, and if it was, I would be there. But no, I haven't come across anything like that. But there are locations and people will. I've seen people advertise on certain websites.

Speaker 1: 13:10

What websites when?

Speaker 2: 13:13

Okay, so Reddit. I've seen people set up private glory holes. Um, what's the what's? The totally obvious one that my brain is completely forgetting? No, it's the fetish. Um.

Speaker 1: 13:30

Oh, uh, that life.

Speaker 2: 13:32

Yeah, Um, so Reddit and fat life are two places where people will actually post um, what? Uh, you know that they're having a private glory hole at their house just to set set it up Like they'll set up a secret knock or something along those lines, those lines, and let you just come in. They've done it at hotel. I've seen it at hotels. I've seen it at homes. I've even seen husbands set it up and screen men for their wives to meet them at arcades and give them like a secret knock, but so that they can screen who's coming in.

Speaker 1: 14:11

Yeah, yeah, so I think uh, well, so whatever cheers to uh wieners and holes.

Speaker 2: 14:19

I don't know, anyways, cheers to that.

Speaker 1: 14:26

I'm just taking this all in. I'm trying to, uh, take it all in it's not I. So the first question I imagine comes to most people's minds is the safety factor, and you've already mentioned that sometimes husbands, so this would be in a cuckold type situation. I would assume that, or just no. Okay.

Speaker 2: 14:51

No, um, I mean it could be, but no, I just have a thing for um, I don't know, I think it was just a kink of mine. I really wanted to try it. What, what about it excites you? Uh, the anonymity of it, of it, and the filthiness of it, like, I just feel like it's so seedy and that excites me so much. I love that. And you were kind of asking about the safety of it all.

Speaker 2: 15:26

There are workers that work in these places and I only, I've, I only go with my partner, um, so he's with me, um, and I always do go and check in with the um, the person that works behind the counter, and just say, like it's just me and my partner, we're going to go in, you know, and just like check in and say hi, type of thing. We all know that there's cameras all over the, the adult stores and everything, and so physical safety. I've never felt threatened before. I've never felt threatened in any way. Honestly, as far as cleanliness there's some, I'm sure, that are disgusting. The ones that I've been to are clean. There's paper towels in each one.

Speaker 2: 16:18

I mean paper towels are a good idea. I always bring my like a little backpack and I bring disinfectant wipes and I wipe that bitch down before I like go in there, like I wiped down the chair, the doorknobs, the the buttons, like I wiped down as much as I can, right, and that's kind of a non-sexy part of it, but it's important, um, because, yeah, I mean people are disgusting. The other thing I bring in my backpack is loads of condoms.

Speaker 1: 16:54

Right. So that was my question Do you, do you cover the wiener before you?

Speaker 2: 17:01

A lot of them come through covered, which is good, but I always offer my own, because then I see, like you're taking out of the wrapper that's. You know, it's not I just it's a comfort thing, I think, for me to see them put on something that's just taken out of the wrapper. Who knows Um, but yeah it's.

Speaker 1: 17:23

I mean, I've never had anybody argue that or um so can you, do you actually talk to these people, these humans?

Speaker 2: 17:35

no, there's no conversation. Um, if I have, if the hole, the, the um, the hole in the wall is open, um, I can like, if somebody walks in there and they're just standing there, you can put your like your hand or your finger, just whatever, through the hole and just like kind of like do a wave type thing, like it's OK. And then if they put it through and there's no condom or they already have a condom on, you just kind of push a condom there to their side. You just kind of watch and put it on and take over.

Speaker 1: 18:12

How do you know you can just hear someone come in the other side?

Speaker 2: 18:16

Yeah, yeah, the walls are pretty thin so you can hear the TVs, you can hear the doors open and closing, Um. And the other thing is when a woman walks into a porn shop or a toy store and they have arcades, there's going to be men there already that are like casually looking at all the videos, and the second they see a woman walk in there. It's so funny to watch them just waiting to see am I going to go back there? So they're like vultures already waiting. So, yeah, the second I go back there it's like a descending Right now do you only?

Speaker 1: 19:04

is it only oral sex? What have you done in the glory hole? Yeah?

Speaker 2: 19:08

I've only done oral sex. I don't know nothing's I've I have. I'm open to having sex, but nothing's been like I need that.

Speaker 1: 19:21

So, um, I've just kept it at oral sex in the glory holes. Yeah, but you could do other things, correct, um, like what? Well, I mean, I've watched've watched. Okay, so I've watched glory hole I really would doubt. All right, look listeners, I went down the fucking glory hole hole and I was doing research for you I was doing research for you dirty motherfuckers.

Speaker 1: 19:49

Look at what you made me do. Uh, I have seen glory hole porn where, like, yeah, vaginas were being fucked like. If you watched the same one, I watched like the women were like, well, there was also some like restraints going on and they were like pussies were up against the wall where the hole was. And I watched one where she got down on her hands and knees and backed up to where the yeah, that's you know backed up and took a doggy style, which then I was like, oh, you'd really have to wash the wall around that area if someone's going to put their mouth up there.

Speaker 2: 20:34

Yeah, no, I haven't done any of that, but my boyfriend comes with and he really likes to fuck me while I'm playing with other wiener.

Speaker 1: 21:32

So wait, does that Wieners? I'm going to try using that during sex. Sometime Give me your wiener. Oh, you nice hard wieners, I'm gonna try using that during sex.

Speaker 2: 21:39

Sometime give me your wiener, nice hard wiener that wiener really turns every time, yeah do you ever use the word wiener during sex?

Speaker 1: 21:50

I want to know.

Speaker 2: 21:51

Ellen negative no, I only use it in the in when the sun's out.

Speaker 1: 21:56

No, I only use it in the end when the sun's out. When the sun is out, you only use wiener when the sun's out. I like that yeah, and it does actually make sense. Uh, wait, what happens when the sun goes away? Then what do you start saying?

Speaker 2: 22:10

cock cock.

Speaker 1: 22:12

I say cock all the time anyways all so. Does your partner then go in the room with you, or is there another hole? Can you take glory holes from both sides?

Speaker 2: 22:31

Good question. The ones I've been in are voyeur and then glory hole. So no, I think that there's only one glory hole Just in the ones I've been in a voyeur and then glory hole. So no, I think that there's only one glory hole Just in the ones I've been in. I'm sure you can do whatever you want with you know you can get creative, but the ones I've been in have the glory hole on one wall and either nothing or a voyeur booth on the other side.

Speaker 1: 22:52

So your partner comes in with you. Now, does the person putting their wieners through the hole know that there is both a man and a woman on the other side?

Speaker 2: 23:13

Yeah, yes, they know, just because you can kind of look through the hole and see if there's like more than one person in there. So yeah, I would assume they know. I don't know, I don't make it like a point to Point it out.

Speaker 1: 23:25

They don't really care, because they're getting their wieners sucked.

Speaker 2: 23:28

Yeah, and I don't really care if they know I don't know. Well, fuck, and I assume with the wall there, you've never caught a cold, or or uh, covet, right, no, nothing, not even no safe as can be, and everybody like. So that's the other thing. Like every cock that has ever come through the glory hole has always been clean like I haven't ever experienced it. Where it's like like no, so yeah, what would you do?

Speaker 1: 24:08

would you just like shove the cock back through the hole? If it were, you'd just be like I would just start shutting the.

Speaker 2: 24:15

Thing oh, you can shut the hole. Yes, oh yeah, you have control over that.

Speaker 1: 24:19

So, um, yeah, I would just shut it down, so you've been impressed with the cocks that came through the hole.

Speaker 2: 24:26

I wouldn't say impressed, but they've been clean.

Speaker 1: 24:31

Well, I mean it's fair. It's fair, I mean it's not far fetched to feel like dirty cocks would be coming through the glorial.

Speaker 2: 24:39

It's not. It's not far fetched to think that and that was my first one before I'd done it, like I was really scared about smells or just people, I don't know. People can be gross.

Speaker 1: 24:52

Well, so that might be also. The perk is, sometimes it's the rest of the human that ruins the cock. I mean, I bet you there are some great cocks on humans that are really just unattractive that you wouldn't want to bang Such a waste, isn't it? Yeah, oh God, imagine, imagine if you were putting your cock to shame.

Speaker 2: 25:18

By being a dick.

Speaker 1: 25:21

By being a dick and not a good one. Not a good one. Yeah, so I guess this is something for listeners to take away. Don't put your cocks to shame. Live up to the expectation that they're setting for the rest of them. Yeah, Interesting you never. You always see the cock second to the person. This gives you an opportunity to meet the cock before the human.

Speaker 2: 25:47

Yeah, you know about somebody too, which is pretty amazing. The cock says a lot about the person I mean like everything the presentation, the manscaping, the smell, the um yeah.

Speaker 1: 26:05

Yeah, yeah, that is true. The cock says a lot about the person and if you had the chance to meet it first, how would it change the human that owns it in your eyes? So I mean we're going deep. We're getting a little heady here in the conversation about glory holes. Didn't see that coming, but I do think it's an interesting concept.

Speaker 1: 26:29

One of so one of the earliest podcast episodes I did was you Think you Can Porn and I interviewed someone who had been an amateur porn star and I will never forget one of my, one of the funniest lines from that episode. So she had gone, you know shown up at this house where she, you know, goes in. Know shown up at this house where she, you know, goes in. She, of course, I said, like how do they pick the um, the person that you're gonna fuck the guy? Like, do you get a pick the person? She says no, no, and you know you just get the dick, you're dealt. And I thought that is so fucking relatable for all women. You know you meet the all cis women or all humans who are dealing with a penis owner. Like, usually, we meet the penis owner first and the dick is hidden and then you get to the sex part and you're like well, you get the dick, you're dealt yeah, isn't it nice to think about the fact that you can choose the dick and then deal with.

Speaker 2: 27:35

Like, can I deal with this person?

Speaker 1: 27:38

Can I deal with the dick, and sometimes you don't even have to deal with the rest. All right, the perk of the glory hole. What I have learned so far in this conversation is that the glory hole does actually come with a perk, which is you don't even have to deal with the rest of the human Right. No, it's not even an option usually to deal with the rest of the human Right.

Speaker 2: 28:04

No, it's not even an option usually to deal with the rest of the human, and there can be some good things, which is really the way for introverts to go Uh-huh, well, yeah.

Speaker 1: 28:17

So if you're an introvert and you want to have sex but you don't want to have to do the whole socializing to find the partner, yeah fuck, this is a great option. I know, huh calling all introverts oh, cheers to that. Cheers to not having to deal with a dick. You're dealt. Sometimes you get to choose the dick. Cheers to that, ellen, cheers to that. All right, before we move on to sex cinema, I want you to tell me one of the most surprising things about going to the glory hole, something that surprised you something you weren't expecting when you got there, hmm.

Speaker 2: 29:09

Well, every time I go, my nerves are frying. I'm so nervous and maybe it's anxiety, like excitement, anxiety, and I think that's another thing that I'm super into. But I think the thing that surprises me the most is how many men are actually doing this. Like I just picture these guys that are like I'm going to take the kids to soccer and then their kids are at soccer and they run over to the glory hole for like three or four minutes of just getting off and then go back. I just feel like it's not these dirty people, it's like these normal, everyday people that just know about a place to go and stick their cock into a hole and like I just haven't come across any creepy, gross people.

Speaker 1: 30:13

I guess that's what I was going ask are these are like?

Speaker 2: 30:16

these are like soccer dads is what you're saying well, yeah, I mean they, just I mean you could. Yes, I feel like they're just, maybe men in sexless marriages or just total assholes who are just cheating pieces of shit and um. But I don't know. Like you don't know and you don't have to, you don't have to know.

Speaker 1: 30:39

But have you? You I'm. You've certainly caught glimpses of them. Have you been like oh, you're like a hot dude. Why are you doing this?

Speaker 2: 30:49

Um, I haven't ever seen one that I'm like, oh my God, you're really hot. But I like they're all just average, plain, plain guys.

Speaker 1: 31:01

Ladies, do you know where your husbands are? Yeah, soccer practice Code word Honey taking the kids to soccer. No, no, no, you don't have to do it. I like the quality time with the kids.

Speaker 2: 31:16

Oh, it's probably not far from the truth it's sad, I mean, but it's not my problem.

Speaker 1: 31:27

So well, who knows, maybe their partners know, maybe they've got a partner in their, their room too no but who knows?

Speaker 1: 31:41

all right. So ellen just gave us, just like sort of the 101, the basics of glory holes. Um, after the podcast I'm going to have ellen give me some more dirty details. I want specific scenarios we may share one or two before we're done with this podcast. But don't forget to head over to my patreon and um, listen in. So we're moving on to sex cinema, the sexual theater. I may have also run across this in my porn adventures I want to hear all about what you found I feel like after this, I'm going to start sending you links.

Speaker 1: 32:27

Yes, I mean in the ones I've come across. Uh, you know it, it's not clear where it's located at, but it's usually a guy taking a woman into a theater where porn is playing and there's sort of clearly other people in the shadows, and then, of course, they see that there's a woman there and they come up and she starts messing around with a guy and then everybody else joins in. But so tell me what is the experience?

Speaker 2: 33:00

Yeah, that's pretty close. I mean I've been to two of them here, in Portland.

Speaker 2: 33:06

Yeah, one of them is shut down now, but it was an old, old movie theater. It was an old, old movie theater and so you just picture like the old style movie theaters and there's a roped off section for just couples and then the rest of it's for singles, single males. Usually you just walk in the front door and you pay couples. You know couples have a price, single males have a price to pay to get in and you walk into the movie theater and there's porn playing. Um, I in the couples, I mean everything. It's not movie theater seats um, there were like some um in the couple section. It was sofas and they provide like clean sheets and everything. So you get sheets, you bring it in with you and you lay it over the sofa and you watch the movie and you can play with your partner and not touch anybody else. People are very respectful as far as boundaries or you can go up to the ropes and offer your whatever you want to offer to the single guys around.

Speaker 1: 34:24

What did you do?

Speaker 2: 34:26

Well, so I offered whatever I wanted to offer, um, I, uh, I gave blowjobs to like. I think there was at least three or four guys right in front of me that I, um gave blowjobs to. I used my hands on other guys, um, while my partner fucked me.

Speaker 1: 34:49

Nice, okay, so they come up. So basically you're there and they can come up and watch. They're kind of like the dudes at the sex club who are the voyeurs. You know, they go up to wherever and they just stand there and like watch.

Speaker 2: 35:02

You know the the lurkers yeah, a hundred percent, absolutely yeah, and this particular theater had a medical table there oh, wow could use, like just you know, prop type thing, um, and there was a glory hole there.

Speaker 2: 35:19

There was a glory hole down, like towards the bottom of the theater, and it was just like a makeshift style, like wooden glory hole. Um, there was also a bed, a huge bed, um, right in front of the glory hole or right near the glory hole, so that if you wanted to go and like have an orgy or gangbang or whatever, you could go there. I did not that night. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 35:47

Were there, other women there.

Speaker 2: 35:53

Oh, I think, maybe I feel like there was one or two other women there and they were more down by the glory hole in that bed and that's why I remember those so clearly. My partner and I were the only ones in the couple section, so so can you name one of the theaters that's still there?

Speaker 1: 36:18

I mean, I assume that's what they are Like. Everybody knows what you know. That's what they're about.

Speaker 2: 36:23

Um, so, um, the Oregon theater is the one that I'd gone to that is not there anymore. Um, the one that I went to more recently is called it's a taboo Um, it was just a well-known um sex store in town. Um, but this is called taboo cinema and it's S I N E M A and there's actually two of them in Portland. Um, and that's just. It's not a big movie theater, but it is a pretty big room with porn playing and couches and seating and you just go in there and sit down and watch a movie.

Speaker 1: 37:08

So can I ask in comparison? So, if listeners, if you want to go back, actually not so long ago, more recently, I posted a episode about sex clubs, in which I do have some experience, and one of the things that really impressed me about the sex clubs here in Portland that's the only place I've been to a sex club is the cleanliness of it. Like, I mean, it's very professional and it feels very safe and, of course, some of them have dress codes, others don't. But regardless, like when, when I have gone to the sex club, like it, the sex club, I think one thing I would like to converse with you about I don't feel like, at least the ones that I've gone to here, the sex clubs don't feel very seedy. I mean, have you been to the sex clubs here?

Speaker 2: 37:59

Yeah, I've been to one of them, the more inclusive sex club that's around.

Speaker 1: 38:04

Sanctuary.

Speaker 2: 38:05

Yeah, sanctuary, and yeah no, nothing seedy about it at all.

Speaker 1: 38:10

Yeah, so something that I really kind of want to get through to listeners, because I think there's just so much, I think there's so much curiosity and then people are so afraid of them because they're like, oh, it's seedy. It's actually like going to a really cool dance club and then you just have the option to get laid as well. But the sex cinema is what do you call it in comparison?

Speaker 2: 38:34

Seedy, it's seedy it's, yeah, it's seedy, like you don't sit bare ass on anything, you don't so?

Speaker 1: 38:46

I was. That's what I was going to ask. So in the sex clubs they literally have people that come and clean and like it is. Uh, hygiene is they, is an imperative to them. They make sure that everything is very clean. Uh, but you're saying the people who run the sex cinema don't necessarily do that.

Speaker 2: 39:04

Well, I mean, I think they do what they can and you know there is that you can get cleaning supplies, you can go and ask for stuff, like you can go and ask for towels or wipes or whatever, but there isn't somebody walking through with a spray bottle and wipes, right, like is it the sex club? Um, so you just have to really be aware and bring your own stuff like they're not gonna, they're, you're, you're not gonna get in trouble for bringing your own stuff and nobody's gonna be like what are you doing?

Speaker 1: 39:42

right, they'll probably be grateful right exactly it will make you even more of a hot item. She comes with cleaning supplies.

Speaker 2: 39:49

Yeah, she smells like clorox that's what my mom used to say is like the perfume for rednecks.

Speaker 1: 39:54

I can see that not judging any listeners out there who identify as rednecks. I love rednecks, it's okay anyways, all right right now so are there certain hours that these cinemas are open?

Speaker 2: 40:25

yeah, I think they um are open all day. I think they close at one or two. I think they have like standard club or, like you know, club hours. They're not open past 3 am.

Speaker 1: 40:45

And they're not open in the middle of the day? Yeah, they are. Oh, they go all day. Yeah, for people who need us, for those dads that need.

Speaker 2: 41:43

Just a quickie before, between you know, between meetings, whatever, Right, right, huh, interesting, and um and um.

Speaker 1: 41:52

All right, set the stage. Uh, give me one of your experiences. We let's, we're going to circle back. We got now. Uh, listeners know what glory holes are. Uh, you know that you can find a map online if you want to try out one near you, because they're all over the fucking place in the U? S and you go to other countries a little bit far farther and fewer between Um. You've told us about sex cinemas. How do you think people can find a sex cinema in their area? Do are they billed as sex cinemas?

Speaker 2: 42:37

cinemas. Um, I would just look for a sex theater. Sex theater, yeah, I think that. I mean, I know that there's quite a few around major cities. Um, most have them, but um, they're around. Yeah, I would look for a sex theater, okay.

Speaker 1: 42:50

Uh, give us a story, Give me one of your experiences. Choose between the glory hole and the sex cinema. I want, uh, I want to. I want to go in. I want you to take me into the glory hole or a sex theater with you and let me know what it was like.

Speaker 2: 43:13

All right. Well, the most recent experience I had was at the sex cinema Um, and me, or me and my partner neither of us had been to um this particular spot, so it's like always a little nerve wracking to walk into these places and not know what you're walking into.

Speaker 1: 43:32

It sounds to me like that is one of the things I think when people are wondering, why would you want to do that? It's definitely. It sounds like the build up the nerves that something sexy and kind of like taboo and is about to happen. Correct, that's part of the turn on Yep exactly.

Speaker 2: 43:51

Um, I went wearing a dress with, um like just sexy lingerie on underneath, um garter and and no underwear. Um, and I went with the intention of just playing with my partner there, just like a first time going and getting a feel for the place. So we walked in and it was pretty packed. There was nowhere to sit except for one little bench.

Speaker 1: 44:23

Wow, what does, what does the pact mean? Like how many people would you say were there?

Speaker 2: 44:27

So the the cinema, like I said, is smaller than the theater and I would say there was probably 20 people there which, when, like there's sofas going down the row or down the middle, and then there's just sofas against the side of the wall, like that's how it's more narrow and long than anything, um, and uh, yeah, each sofa was taken and there was one couple up in the front, um, but they weren't playing with anybody.

Speaker 2: 45:06

So, um, yeah, right, when we walked in, it was standing room only except for that one bench. So, um, yeah, right, when we walked in, it was standing room only except for that one bench. So, um, we sat down and we're like what the hell are we doing? Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1: 45:19

Right.

Speaker 2: 45:20

Um, and then I was like well, I know what I'm doing. So, like I just um, threw my partner's jacket on the floor and got on my knees and started giving him head there, Right, and then it just didn't take much time for everybody to be circling us.

Speaker 1: 45:34

And they were all men, except for that one couple is what you're saying.

Speaker 2: 45:38

Yeah, but that couple just kept to themselves and they were up at the front, okay, didn't have any interaction with them at all. So, um, and the other thing, before we went in there, I kind of told my partner exactly what my boundaries were like, what I was okay with, what I um wasn't okay with, um, like I didn't it was okay for people to be touching. I didn't want them touching my um, my vagene, my vagene, the pussy yeah.

Speaker 2: 46:07

I didn't want them touching my pussy. I didn't want them to think they could like have sex with me, like they can jerk off around me, I don't care. Um, they can touch me, but don't stick your fingers anywhere, right? So, um, I'm giving him head and he's probably like I imagine it's like getting head while you're driving, like he's not enjoying it. He's like on high alert to make sure that he's keeping an eye out for people and, um, but yeah, there was probably seven or eight men just around me, like their hands all over me while I was giving him head, and I love that, like I love that. It's just I don't know, I don't know what it is. I think it's just like that desire, that um feeling of like, just pure sex is like, oh, it makes me so crazy.

Speaker 2: 47:01

So, um, I only was given my boyfriend head, um. But then another guy walked in and he had a nice cock, so I gave him head, um. But then another guy walked in and he had a nice cock, so I gave him head.

Speaker 1: 47:15

So so he presented it and you were like that's a nice cock, I would like to suck it.

Speaker 2: 47:20

Yeah, like I want that in my mouth right now. Yeah, um, so it was fun to give him head. I was playing with my partner with my hands and um, and just still having all those other hands all over me, and yeah, there are some guys that would kind of get a little close and I'd have to like slap their hands away, and but they're respectful once you like. If you do it once, they're not going to try it yeah.

Speaker 2: 47:49

So the guy that I saw come in, he came. I think I was only in there for like 30 minutes or so. Um, if I was more comfortable, like on a couch or like in a better spot, I think I would have stayed a lot longer. But we were just kind of in a weird spot where, you know, we're on a like up against a weird bench and, um, since we hadn't been there, I wasn't sure what to expect. So, um, it was a pretty brief visit, but, um, yeah, there was a lot of people and I would have stayed longer.

Speaker 1: 48:22

So how? How do you end it? You just like all right done, done, guys, shoo.

Speaker 2: 48:27

Yeah no, you literally don't have to say anything. Like you just get up and start getting dressed and leave like you don't. You don't have, you don't owe any of them anything, you know. Like you're there playing, you went, you had fun, you don't owe anybody shit, and you just get up when you're done and you leave Nice.

Speaker 1: 48:48

Yeah, and how expensive is it to get into these places? Well, we already talked about the glory hole, paying the machines. But what about a sex cinema?

Speaker 2: 48:58

I don't know. I feel like for couples going in there, I don't think we had to pay anything, wow, as a couple, but it might have been 10 or 20 bucks possibly, and, um, I should have looked into that. I just I don't pay, I didn't bring my, I didn't have my wallet on me, I didn't have anything on me, so, of course, you didn't pay.

Speaker 1: 50:08

You are like literally the highlight Right, and I imagine for women that's a little bit of the draw to like. You literally get to be the star of the show.

Speaker 2: 50:21

That is so so much the draw, yeah.

Speaker 1: 50:25

So, you get to be the star of the show. You don't have to pay, you get to choose and be in control. Call the shots when it ends, get all the attention. Shots when it ends um, get all the attention. Uh, yeah, I, I mean, I can see the draw, I think um, and then knowing, and so you feel, like most of the men that are there, like bring protection. It's not like there's a bunch of like naked dicks like being thrust at you.

Speaker 2: 50:55

They're naked, but they're being like they're playing with their own dicks I mean, it's dick in hand. They're not like I don't know. Like yeah, they would probably try to like grab me in the head or like just get in line for something like that, but I never go without condoms. So if there was somebody that I was like, oh yeah, I would do that, then you just hand them a condom and they'll throw it on and what do you think your partner gets out of it? What did.

Speaker 1: 51:22

What does he say? Does he enjoy this as well, or is he doing this for you?

Speaker 2: 51:26

No, he loves it. He loves, um, watching me be spoiled, first of all Um, and then it's like having a live porn star, basically like it's just exciting for him, it's all. Like he literally just wants to see me have fun.

Speaker 1: 51:49

Right, right, and if yeah, I guess one of my questions is are there like is? Are there women on women situations, situations are there? Are there places you can go where it's about like queer sex? Are there queer sex glory holes and cinemas?

Speaker 2: 52:08

I feel like most glory holes are queer sex glory holes, because the um, the possibility of a woman walking into those places is like, very like. It's a shot in the dark. Most of the time, I think it is men that go in and suck each other off. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I don't think women go there to like to have satisfaction or anything. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I just have never come across it.

Speaker 1: 52:40

So so you haven't seen women outside of yourself there very often.

Speaker 2: 52:44

No, no, but I do have you know, I have friends that have gone with their partners and it's, it's like amazing foreplay.

Speaker 1: 52:55

Right, right, your own sex, sex. Well, so that's interesting. So, yeah, that makes sense that it would be a place where um men, especially the men who aren't out about, um, yeah, being into to cocks would go to enjoy some of that.

Speaker 2: 53:18

And the other thing I imagine is like hookup apps like Grindr and stuff like go meet at somewhere. Like that you can just throw some money in the TV, keep it going, and it's a safe, neutral place that you can meet and have safe sex.

Speaker 1: 53:34

Oh, that's interesting. So date idea for all of you on grinder. First date idea go to the glory hole yeah, romantic, you heard it here. You can thank ellen later, yeah, so, um, I want to sum this up, we got a good uh 101 kind of entry to glory holes A. They do exist. And not only do they exist, there's like a shitload of them everywhere Sex cinemas I did not look for a map of sex cinemas, but I'm guessing that there's plenty of them as well.

Speaker 2: 54:13

Well, I'm guessing you're going to look for a map after this.

Speaker 1: 54:18

I'm totally, I was. I, you know, I didn't even think about it. I was so focused on the glory hole experience because I really didn't. You know, I don't know why anything surprises me anymore. I think it was you who really let me in on this, the fact that glory holes were a thing when we were recording your podcast uh, confessions of a cut queen I was like what? I was very surprised. And then I was like, well, you've got to come back and talk to me about that. Um, I don't know why this uh surprises me. Nothing should surprise me anymore. What was extra surprising was just realizing how, how common, how many there are. Like this is a fucking thing, and I think that you're right.

Speaker 1: 55:04

I think you hit the nail on the head that it probably is very popular, or more popular, in the queer community. I, I mean, I just haven't outside of you, I haven't met many women who have expressed it, and maybe it's not something people advertise anyways, but it doesn't seem like I've had a lot of women tell me that. But this is where listeners again, if you want to like, email me and give me your take, your hot take. I would love to hear both from from women, uh, from, from women especially, who are into it, but also queer guys. Is this like? Is this a thing for you? Is it sexy? Is it common? You can contact me at Annette A-N-N-E-T-T-E-H. She explores lifecom Also. Soccer dads spill the beans.

Speaker 1: 55:56

Reach out to me. Tell me why you go there. Are you a soccer dad? What's going on in your marriage that has led you to the glory hole? Anyways curious. But before we go, can you give the listeners a couple of tips on how to prepare? Let's start with the glory hole. Give them little tidbits of advice. How do you prepare? What do you pack in your little backpack before you go?

Speaker 2: 56:25

Um, I have lots of condoms. Bring some disinfectant wipes. Um bring paper towels. They usually have them, but um, they, you know, know, who knows, maybe they don't. Um bring toys, like if you have toys that you want to play with, while for yourself, while you're um, uh, playing with the cocks coming through the hole, um bring toys, um bring. So another thing you can bring is one of those gardening knee pads. So smart. I know.

Speaker 1: 57:01

Wow.

Speaker 2: 57:02

Saving knees. But yeah, I honestly, just to keep it simple though, condoms lube, if you want lube toys and the disinfectant wipes.

Speaker 1: 57:20

Nice, that's smart. Now, emotionally, what can someone do to prepare themselves and get ready to go to the glory hole?

Speaker 2: 57:28

It takes a lot of bravery it really does. It takes a lot of just kind of quieting your inner voice telling you to run, cause it's. I mean, it's a lot of nerves to walk in and do something that you've never done before, um, but once you do it, you really feel like the most powerful person in the world. So, um, I think that touching base with whoever is running the establishment is always a good thing. If you are alone and you go, just go and say I'm alone, I'm going to go in there for a little while, I just wanted to touch base. Do you have any safety tips? Like, um, just asking whoever is is working for their help, or just, um, just to have somebody there with a familiar face if you feel like you need to, to get out of there, ask for help. So, but other than that, just jump in and open wide.

Speaker 1: 58:30

Jump in and open wide, she says.

Speaker 2: 58:34

So classy.

Speaker 1: 58:35

I love it All right. So yeah, I guess. Then let's sum this up with why do you think women should give glory holes and sex cinemas, sex theaters a try? Give them three solid fucking reasons why they should at least give it a try once solid, fucking reasons why they should at least give it a try once. Um, they are generally clean, um it is.

Speaker 2: 59:03

I don't feel like that's a reason. Okay, here's a reason. You're going to be the center of attention. Um, you do call all the shots. You have all the power in this situation. You can stop any situation at a moment's notice, and I mean you're probably going to come a lot.

Speaker 1: 59:24

So you feel hot, empowered, center of attention and orgasmic.

Speaker 2: 59:29

Yeah, and that's why we're all here, right, we're all here to have orgasms.

Speaker 1: 59:33

I would agree to that, and so I think we're going to wrap it up with that. We're all here to have orgasms.

Speaker 1: 59:41
