The first way is just to talk about it. Whether you talk to your close friends, or you join some online groups, however you want to find people to discuss it with. That discussion doesn't need to be the exact details of how you are doing it but can be simple things like how often, where you do it, what you enjoy about it. This can and should be part of your everyday discussion just like you would other things in your life.

The second way is more related to finding community. The obvious choice is always BateWorld which is a great social network for meeting other bators. I am sure everyone who reads this newsletter already has an account. But I also want to encourage you to find and join other groups that are filled with bators. You can join the Man Tools Telegram chat which is pretty active or their other telegram chats which are also highly bate focused. Their are also groups on KiK and other platforms that I am sure you can find if you go looking hard enough.

The reason I want you to join some of these groups is that this is where you are free to talk about your bate in ways which you might not have in the past. Being groups with bators talking about bating means that they are more nuanced on the joys and pleasures of bating and bate culture. In these spaces you can also show yourself and your bating which is another important aspect of sharing for some people.

The next way I want to encourage you to explore if you haven't already is to find some online camming. Whether it is a simple as joining the cam chats on Dudes Nude.com, MenChats.com or even BateWorld (if you are a paying member). Or whether it is finding some zoom rooms on the Subreddit /r/gayzoom. All of these provide you a space in which you can explore your bate with others.

The last way is something that is something really close to my heart and that is by joining or creating an in person group bate. I cannot express enough how much my experience of bating has changed since I started having group bate sessions. They have allowed me to connect with other men and myself in many different ways. I am sure I have said this before but the part I most enjoy is actually being able to talk and banter in these sessions. Sometimes sitting around after a session still naked and just talking about life is so fulfilling to me.

So hopefully this has given you some ways in which you can begin to open up about your bate. You don't need to do all of these but at the very least I want to highly encourage you to join some bate groups online. Meet some fellow bators. Talk about your bate. Show your bate. These are all important ways in which we learn about and validate our experiences as bators.
