Welcome to another issue of the premier male masturbation newsletter! This is the place to come and get advice and support for your bate practice! It is also a great way to learn about and become a part of bate culture more generally!

Over the last couple of weeks I have been exploring setting up a jack off club here in Sydney! As part of this I have been talking to many different jack off club owners/organisers across the world and it has been invigorating! To know that there are a network of spaces in which bators can come together to share our bates and get to know one another is one of the best aspects of bate culture. I will have more to say over the coming weeks but if you live in Australia (or New Zealand if you want to get on a plane) then go to the JackALL website and sign up for notifications of my future events!

I also highly recommend that you come and listen to Nick from BatorBro and myself in our weekly twitter spaces. Last episode we had people from Denver Jacks, MX Jacks and Dr Gay Porn all chiming in on topics around bating and bate culture! I always finish my conversations with Nick feeling invigorated and inspired! So come and join or listen afterwards on Twitter.

A couple of weeks ago I sent out a newsletter to the VIP club asking the question how often do you bate? It was an exploration and reflection of my own values around my bate practice. But from that I got this great reflection from Paul who runs Rain City Jacks and runs the Mastobate.social Mastodon Server:

This reflection really got me thinking about how other bators also expressed themselves through their bate and whether they too had differences that were worth exploring. 

So I did what any person who runs a community like this does... I asked the followers

Anybody who responded I then posed the following questions:

• How often do you bate?
• How often do you cum?
• How long do you bate for?
• What do enjoy most about your bate session?
• What is your bate philosophy

These are their responses....

I bate at least once a day, if I don't I don't feel myself. 
 
I cum once if not twice a day, sometimes 3 times if I'm really feeling it. I haven't ventured much into endless edging for days - but open to exploring if other bros had advice. 
 
Sometimes a quickie in the morning is all you need, and feels manly af. Sometimes i need an edge for 30 mins to 1hr. Other times I want to go for 2 to 3 hours, up and down, tearing my penis. 
 
I enjoy how I feel, bating is such a natural experience and something that everyone should be proud of. Its some of the best alone time you can have but also makes you a better lover, since discovering bating I've opened up my relationship world to side play and wanting to get off with other men without penetration - even though I do still enjoy penetration lol. 
 
My bate philosophy is - love your penis, give your cock pleasure, that's what it's for! Greasy, geared up with poppers near by. Alone or with a bate bro

* I bate daily
* My daily bates consist of several edging sessions but I usually cum 2-3x a day
* An edge session may be an hour+ but if I'm bating to cum, <30 mins
* The popper enhanced bator headspace, proud and exhibitionist masturbation
* Masturbation is natural and primal and can be a bonding event for men

@gr8sml4u
 
* How often do you bate?
At least once, if not twice a day
* How often do you cum?
Once per day
* How long do you bate for?
Usually an hour to two
* What do enjoy most about your bate session?
Feeling good from the precum oozing out of my piss slit
* What is your bate philosophy
Everyone should feel good about masturbating and be proud to share it with others

I hate at least once a day, sometimes more.
I cum at least once or twice daily. My record is 6 times in one day. 
I usually stroke for about 30 minutes before I nut.
I enjoy edging and finding the perfect porn. 
Bate philosophy is that this is self-care, it’s a stress reliever, it’s healthy, it’s natural

@phillip.dash
 
I bate two or three times daily (more at weekends) cumming every time. The length of each session depends on the moment. Sometimes a 'quickie' (not to waste a boner) others edge after edge after edge. The enjoyment comes from the sheer pleasure and that's my philosophy: build that intensity. Feel the bodily responses, balls slapping, deep breathing, moaning, hip thrusting, pre-cum and the final spasmodic pleasure of that intense explosion followed by that supreme afterglow. Nothing like it.

* How often do you bate?
Approximately 5x times/week. Usually when I'm alone. I'm married and I live with my partner. I try to be respectful of our space so when I'm alone you can be sure that I'm gonna be on penis.
 
* How often do you cum?
Once a day if I can. But I usually edge throughout the day and bust a load by the end of the day.
 
* How long do you bate for?
My ideal would be 3-4hrs. But sometimes I got to find the balance. Sometimes 1.5hrs is enough for me until I cum and sometimes beyond that I wont be able to cum.
 
* What do enjoy most about your bate session?
Getting primal and just being with yourself is what I enjoy about bating. Being with my own thoughts and creating a space where I can be my own self without judgement and get lost on the bate for hours. 
 
* What is your bate philosophy
Maturbation is self-care. Also, don't compare how you bate with others. You do you.

@sultanroyale
 
- How often do you bate: 
As much as I can. I really once a day. 
 
- How often do you cum?
Always. I need to complete the session with a big bang 
 
- How long do you bare for? 
My record was 6 hours. If in morning, a quick session otherwise evening a longer session like 30-60 mins 
 
- what do you enjoy… 
My favourite is to have an audience. One or more guys watching. And I love a countdown from 10 to 0
 
- philosophy 
Be imaginative and fun…

@ali

I like to bate everyday, try to anyway, because of my work schedule the only time i get to bate is before sleep as such sometimes im just to beat and sleepy to bate
I have tried the edging with no cum thing its great no doubt, the after effects being im super horny the day after , too horny to concentrate on anything else but sex
also my temperament is super aggressive when im all horny so nowadays i just bate to cum
my regular bate session last at least an hour , its usually two porn scenes , i like to go for porn that are at least 30 mins long
im a very sexual person , i just love sex, i have been in and out of relationships , the sex was great with a partner , but the emotional cost was more then what i was willing to pay for
tried the hooking up game as well, its too much drama alot of disappointment and heartache , i gave up
i tried the cruising scene as well, the random sex at public places was exciting for awhile but the burden of being anonymous was becoming too much
finally i came back to my first love , bating
i discovered masturbation without even knowing such thing existed and other did it as welli was 10 just a tingling in my willie aroused my curiosity to explore, i had no idea what i was doing , but it felt good , i was hooked
in those days i had a foreskin , i would pull on it backwards position it between my balls and  ass cheeks , rub my pubes against the floor or wall until i came, that was my first bating technique
this went on for many years , till i was 19 when finally a stranger picked me up at the bus stand , took me to a cheap hotel, popped my cherry , i thought i was in love , he had a monster dick, he even complimented me on blow job skills
that opened up a new world for me ,fast forward to the present , im happiest by myself , porn , sex toys , lots of lube that all i need to make myself happy when i bate its all about me , my pleasure is all that matters , this most satisfying to me , i love myself
my bate philosophy is , as long as i am getting pleasure and not causing any harm to others , it no ones business what i do with my dickthe only thing i would want now is a bate buddyhope i have answered all your questionshave a good day

I hope that this has shown you what an amazing array of ways in which we are expressing our bate practice. There are no rules or limitations on how and what you can do during your bate practice. You are free to explore yourself and your pleasure in many different ways!

So thanks for being a part of this great community of bators! I hope that I can continue to inspire you to explore your self pleasure in new ways. 

If you would like to help support this work you should sign up for the VIP Club and then you too can receive the special monthly VIP issue of the magazine. I also think it makes you a better bator (disclaimer this statement may be false). 

Till next time bators
