Before I start, readers need to remember that a lot of the stuff I write about covers earlier days, before Homosexuality was legal. It was hidden and if you were gay you had to be very careful about your behaviour and where you could go to meet likeminded men.
Standing at a urinal in a public toilet and surreptitiously watching your neighbour's arm to see if he were wanking and then moving your arm similarly so he could get the message and then both turning towards each other to see our cocks and a whispered invite to meet outside.
This was not always the best way to make a contact so, consequently, to "scratch the itch", glory holes were to be found in most men's toilets and it was rare that you would not find a likeminded soul in the next cubicle, regardless of the hour or the day.
The Law was not changed in NZ until 1986 and then we began to get Cruise venues and Gay saunas and this opened up the whole scene. The aids crisis forced the local authorities to make a concentrated effort to block up glory holes, reline partition walls etc and today you would have to be incredibly lucky to find one anywhere.
Any locals reading this will probably remember with affection these locations and probably could add to the list too.
Howick toilets, Beresford St toilet, Potters park toilet, Devonport toilet, Cheltenham beach toilet (the park along to the left),Albert Park toilet after dark with the Police Station only 100 yards away. Sandringham Toilet - pickups only, Durham Lane toilet also pickups only,
It was almost guaranteed you would get a blow job through the glory holes in these spots or easily meet a likeminded gentleman.
Potters park often had a queue lining the wall beside the cubicles waiting to enter to get their blowjob on the way home from work. Everyone studiously looking at the floor or the ceiling and avoiding eye contact and all knowing that inches away behind the wall some lucky bugger was getting his cocked sucked.
I was 18, we had just arrived in Auckland and I did not know the city at all but I had found the Durham St bog and stood at the urinal to see what would happen. This tall good looking bloke smiled at me, displayed his cock and whispered "follow me" which I duly did. He led me down the lane and into the side entrance of a large building, up a flight of stairs to what was obviously the staff toilets. He ushered me into one of the cubicles and sat me down and shut the door behind us. He then unzipped my fly, I think I need to say here that this was my second experience of being with another man, the first time the guy masturbated me for a couple of minutes and then left so I was agog to find out what would happen this time with this chap.
Anyway he unzipped me and managed to extract my very stiff boner from my underpants and slowly but beautifully started to wank me. Oh this was so delicious but then, to my immense surprise he knelt and took my cock into his mouth. All sorts of conflicting emotions. God it felt lovely, oh this is so dirty putting my cock into his mouth, it was so unhygienic - remember I was VERY naive back then, I pushed his head away, it was all too much. So he wanked me instead and I had an orgasm but it was tempered with the thought that my cock had been in this man's mouth, I would need to wash it, dadadadeda nonsense like that. Guilt, shame, fear - all that rubbish.
As time progressed I discovered that lots of men wanted to put my cock into their mouths and eventually one Friday night in the dark in the Albert Park toilet I overcame my reluctance and when an unseen man in the darkness bent to take my cock into his mouth, I let him. Now I discovered how enjoyable this could be but someone came in and we promptly stopped and my "partner" shot through and I was left unsatisfied but knowing that maybe this was not such a bad thing after all.
