Welcome to the first issue of 2023!! I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! Mine was filled with food, drinks and bating (including finding a new bate buddy)! This next year is going to be another year full of bating and self pleasure. So let's go!

Before we get to this weeks special guest, just my usual plug for my projects. Firstly I am launching the VIP club as a way for readers to provide support to the running and promotion of the newseletter. All VIP Club members will get the following benefits:

• The newsletter before everyone else
• An exclusive monthly edition only available to members
• A members only group chat

So sign up today for just $5 per month and help support this newsletter.

I have also started up again the Bate Support program after a brief holiday! As I have said before this is my most prized part of my week being able to spend time talking and getting to know bators on a personal level. The price of this will be increasing shortly so if you've been thinking about joining now is the time so you can lock in the cheap rate of just $10 per month. 

The following is a Q&A I did with M.B. Timothy. For those who don't know who is is, he is a self confessed solo sexual, advocate for male masturbation and author of several books on masturbation. He has recently published a new book on Amazon called Batormorphosis that you should definitely buy!!!

You've written several books about masturbation what made you want to write about it?
 
There’s no other topic I am more passionate about than masturbation. I felt I had a lot to say about it. When I started out, there weren’t many bators writing about our community and lifestyle. Bruce Grether was doing it and then Jason Armstrong released his book Solosexual, which really inspired me. I felt we bators had a fresh perspective on masturbation. The other books written on the topic were kind of clinical. They painted the message that masturbating was normal but that was kind of it. They didn’t say how amazing masturbation is and that’s why we all should be doing it more. That’s the message I wanted to promote with my Tumblr blog and then my articles for the Bator Blog on Bateworld. These were on topics no one had tackled before like gooning, dry orgasm and multicumming. Bators seemed to like what I was doing and so I tackled my first book. I love writing, but I especially enjoy writing while masturbating, which is how I’ve written all my books. Every single word is written with an erection, you know.

What do you enjoy most about the bator life?
 
Living as a bator is living a life proudly dedicated to pleasure. That pleasure is deep too. I am a pleasure seeker in all aspects of my life, a real sensualist. I am right into food and the outdoors, books, art and music. It’s all part of the same thing, isn’t it? A pleasure package. I never tire of any of those things just like I never tire of masturbation. There’s always more to discover. That’s the thing about the bator life which is the best. It gets better and better. I never regret a single second spent masturbating. Not a moment. My bate has never been as good as it is now. It’s all the practice and the curiosity about it that’s made it so good. I can only imagine that so long as I keep it up, and I stay curious, the bate is only going to improve more. Weird, I look forward to getting old!

Describe your  ideal masturbation
 
I don’t think it’s anything elaborate. It’s just about time. I need at least an hour to hit the heights of my pleasure. That sort of time allows my brain to melt, and all the civilised parts of me can drop away. That’s when I get more primal and the sex I have with myself is uninhibited. I need space to be naked and to make noise. With time I can put into practice all my best masturbation techniques like precision edging, dry orgasms and edge squirts. I love working precum up and out my shaft. I eat it. I love sweating up a bit so I can smell it. I make a lot of fap noise. My husband says he can always hear my masturbation through the wall. Not that I hide it from him, he’s well aware of how much sex I have with myself. As for the big finishing orgasm I have to stretch it out. I have to really feel like my body desperately needs it and that I have earned it. Time is the determinant. Time gets me goony. I deny myself the orgasm as long as possible (sometimes for days). And then when I do finally max my penis out, I give myself two orgasm, maybe three haha, back to back.
 
Oh I should add I masturbate for at least an hour or two every day without fail. Sometimes twice a day. I always find the time for masturbation.

Many men have different ideas about what edging means. Can you give your definition of what it means to you?
 
Edging is many things to many guys and that’s cool. At its heart it’s about delay of orgasm. Why do we do that? Edging is the engine of true bate. Without edging, I can’t achieve anything spectacular. No multi cums, no dry orgasms or anything like that. For me, precision edging is a solitary act. It’s me and my penis in communion. Of course it can involve others but if it does it’s different. It never reaches the intense focus of just my penis and my hand. Edging allows me to layer on more and more pleasure. I write about this in my book the 24Hr Masturbation Master. When we hit the first edge, we max out our penis. It will shoot if we stroke a few strokes too many. If we hold off and begin to edge again, we don’t start from the same place. We actually max out our penis pleasure at a higher intensity. If we do this over and over, we lay the pleasure on thick. I love to get to the point where a single stroke makes the difference between pulling up short and going over that point of no return to orgasm. That kind of intensity is what I live for. That’s precision edging. In that moment I honesty think I have found heaven on earth.
 
Any advice you would give to bators about how to take their bates to the next level
 
Yeah, many guys want to become advanced bators and that takes a bit of study. Masturbation is a craft and like any craft, mastery over it needs practice. There are a lot of resources now for those who want to become exceptionally good bators. Set yourself goals. Do you want to double your duration? Double the frequency? Discover dry orgasms? Make orgasm last longer? All is possible if you study the masters and apply their techniques. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t do it immediately. I masturbated for twenty five years before I became the dick wizard I am. Love what you do. Love your body. Love your penis. Don’t accept that your sexual pleasure has limitations.

Your new book BATORMORPHOSIS is out. Tell us what to expect from it?
 
It’s a bit trippy this one. It’s about how we change shape through masturbation. I was thinking about how I always connected masturbation with becoming a man. Of course it would have happened without it, but my body changed so much almost immediately after I began rubbing my dick that I can’t help but entwine the two in my mind. I underwent such a huge transformation fast. I got really hairy, my dick got huge, I didn’t recognise my face anymore. That kind of stuff. Such a metamorphosis stuck with me that masturbating was a really powerful agent for change, which got me thinking how else it can change us emotionally and psychologically. Basically the book explores that idea by looking at roleplay, time travel and spiritual journeying. I told you it was trippy! I was quite gooned when I wrote it.

Thanks again to M.B. Timothy for answering my questions. Don't forget to go and buy his new book Batormorphosis and while you are there grab his other books too. You can also follow him on Twitter or Bateworld. 

Let's continue this bate energy into 2023 and make it the best year of your bate life! For those who don't follow my Twitter or Instagram (you do right?) I have also started a Telegram Channel which features daily videos of men bating (if you're ever looking for more bate fuel). Over the coming weeks I will also be adding some further channels so if there is anything you want to see let me know.

Also don't forget to help this newsletter by either signing up for the VIP Club or by joining the Bate Support Program. I've got plenty of new projects coming soon that I am really excited about, including some more videos on my YouTube Channel (including a video using fruit for masturbation!!!)

Till next time bators!
