What should a newbie know before going to an Adult Store Arcade?

[Justlookin22]

I debated posting this in Ask a Gay Man, but I figured here it would get a wider audience. If anyone thinks it should be moved, I'll repost it.

Yesterday I found myself in an adult store with one of those arcades in back, basically a dark hallway with a series of doors. I saw men coming in and out of them, and found myself very intrigued by it all. So I poked my head back there and immediately got intimidated. There were like 14 or more doors, some labeled "gloryhole" some labeled "buddies" and probably more, I honestly sort of panicked. So I popped into one of the private booths, threw some cash in the video display and took care of myself. When i left there was a guy standing in the hallway waiting for... who even knows?

I guess my question is this. If I return to experiment with a gloryhole, what should i know, what should I expect? Do the gloryhole rooms have a side I should go into to give and one to receive? Are condoms SOP, or is it more "risky". Is it weird to buy lube or condoms in the shop and then bring them into the arcade?

Thanks in advance for your answers, and I'll reply with more questions if I have them.

I'd be too afraid of this being on the other side...

Just keep in mind that everyone in there is really looking for about the same thing, getting off to their preferences. I know it is intimidating at first, it was for me, but you will feel more comfortable the more often that you go.

All great questions. I'm new to the Gloryhole scene and am looking to suck only not get sucked. Which room would I go into?

Just go in one with a glory hole, you aren't obligated to do anything. Watch thru the hole, watch the other guy get his cock out and stroke it, if you like it put your finger thru hole, that's the sign you want to play with his and he will stick it thru. Otherwise let him see yours and he will finger and want to stroke or suck you.

First off, what are you hoping for? The options are nearly endless. They range to something so innocent as watching another guy stroke it or vice versa to full on fucking or being fucked to hand jobs and/or BJs .

So, make sure you go in with an idea of what you want to start with and see where the fun takes you.

Thank you. I think I want to suck a dick, but I guess I'll have to make up my mind before I go. Are condoms expected or no?

Thank you! That's the sort of info I was hoping for.

Great advice. I'm looking to just suck so this is all very helpful information

For your safety alone, if it was me? Yes. It's OK to be a little selfish. After all, you are there for your pleasure (and safety).

Don’t wear nice shoes.

I had all the same questions and concerns when I first started going to books about 25 years ago. First, pick a booth with a gloryhole. When there’s a guy in the next booth, look thru the hole And stick your finger through. This is a sign that you want to suck or play with his cock. If he sticks it through, great! If you suck, be aware that he may not let you know when he’s about to cum. Some guys like swallowing, others don’t but don’t be surprised by a mouthful of jizz. My first time, I loved the taste but felt ashamed of what I had done. But I was back the next week for more.

One other thing. If you signal the guy and he doesn’t give you his cock, don’t take it personally. He’s probably there because he’s also looking for a cock to suck.

OMG. Good point about not taking it personally if they don't stick their cock through the hole. Never thought about that. I'm just looking to suck and am not planning on sticking my dick through the hole. Lol.

That's a hilarious illustration. The mask, axe, the jacket. Plus it's painted in a soft look like a children's book.

What if a guy sticks his dick through and I don't like how it looks? How do I turn him down?

Hand job maybe?
