Students vote on whether to allow glory holes for anonymous sex in public toilets at German university
- A heated discussion ensued at the Student Convention of the University of Augsburg
Students have voted on whether to allow glory holes for anonymous sex in public toilets at a German university.
A heated debate ensued when the Augsburg University Student Convention met at 6pm yesterday to discuss whether holes used for sexual purposes should be allowed in the lecture hall centre.
The students talked about the glory holes, or Sex-Löchern in German, for about an hour.
“There will be three glory holes in the lecture hall center opposite the entrance, where the information boards are now located,” the application text states, which notes that the cubicles must be soundproof and opaque.
Although some supported it, the convention concluded that the “suggestion that the proposal should be regarded as a joke proposal was accepted by a majority.”

A spokeswoman for the University of Augsburg said this BIL: ‘The university board does not assess the agendas of the student congress and does not make a statement. It can be assumed that this agenda item should be interpreted as satirical.’
But a university employee said: “The applicants are so awake, they don’t mean it as a joke.”
Other suggestions noted on the application included that the “height should be adjustable, there should be handles on the wall to hold on to.”
The application added: ‘The lights must be dimmable and any knee pads must be installed. Condoms, licking cloths, lubricants and disinfectants and wipes must also be made available free of charge in the glory holes; Trash bins will also be needed.”
The reasons for making the suggestion were also detailed.
“A glory hole would contribute to campus diversification, as kink can also be experienced or experienced at university,” the application reads.
‘Sex can also be a relaxing activity, which can be very useful in the often stressful everyday student life. The associated stress reduction would ensure a more positive working atmosphere on campus.’
The creation of glory holes at a university is “not only inappropriate, but also very scandalous and unacceptable,” the Ring of Christian Democratic Students (RCDS) Augsburg said in an open letter to university president Sabine Doering, according to media outlet Presse Augsburg. .
Another agenda item for yesterday’s Student Convention meeting was a memorial for campus cat Leon, who passed away on September 14.
