Well what a year it has been! So many fantastic bates. This year has really solidified how much I enjoy bating and how much I enjoy sharing it with others. I have plenty of ideas that I want to try out in the new year so make sure you stick around!

This week I published a new video on my YouTube channel (which you should totally subscribe to). It details a range of items in your house that you can use as homemade lube. I also walk you through how to make your own homemade water based lube. So make sure you go and check it out!

Lastly I would really appreciate if you could fill out my annual survey. I like to use these as an opportunity to get to know my audience and also to find out what you would like to see next. So go and fill it in! Should take you only a few minutes and helps me a lot!

With the holidays coming up I thought today we would review some of the techniques and ideas I have talked about during the year. Over the holiday season I want to encourage you to try mixing up your bating sessions by picking one of two of these per week and trying something new. Then the following week I want you to pick something else and try it. Remember it doesn't have to be something big, it should be just small iterative changes to how you bate to explore new pleasures and sensations. 


Places

It is very easy to get into a routine of always bating in the same place. Whether that is your bed, your lounge, your shower. Wherever it is, it is always a good idea to change it up. It doesn't need to be drastic (like in public) it can be just another room in your house. But I want you to experiment with the location of your bate and see how that feels.

Sounds

For some guys this is going to be an of course I do. But I know that for many guys we don't make any sounds when we are bating. I think this comes from when we were younger and we had to hide out bates more. Whatever the reason I want to encourage you to not only make groans and moans as the pleasure is taking over, but also talk to yourself about what you are doing and even imagine you have a bud you are describing what is happening to.

Toys

I will never tire of exploring toys. Everything from cock rings, right up to automatic strokers, sex dolls, and anal toys. I think toys allow you to play with sensations that you don't get from either sex or bating. My personal favourite this year has been my vibrating wand. At one point I become hopelessly addicted to the feeling and I was using it every day in every session. So make sure you explore some toys in your bate practice

Lube

Such an important aspect of how you bate and one that many don't take the time to consider or experiment with. Which lube you use will change the sensations you feel when you are bating. So mix it up. Try different lubes (water based, silicon based), try different home-made lubes (coconut oil, olive oil, vaseline). Don't be afraid to switch it up.

Edging

I know this one is a simple one but it is something I want people to explore more. Edging does not always mean going all day. Edging does not always mean not cumming. Edging is about stimulating yourself as close to cumming as you can and then slowing down or stopping and then repeating. It is this continual stimulation that allows you to get more pleasure then you would if you just jerked off. So why not mix it up and try edging for an hour and then cumming. Or try edging for an hour a couple of times in one day and only cumming once. Try different kinds of edging routines and see what you feel.

Techniques

Lastly this is one I am guilty of as well which is always jerking off with the same technique. Whether it is one hand, or one particular stroke we all have our favourites. So instead what I want you to try is different techniques to stimulate yourself. Whether it be changing hands. Using two hands. Using the backhanded method. Whatever it is just put it into your bate sessions occasionally and see how it feels. 


So there's a couple of ideas to get you started. It is so easy for our bate lives to end up being the same thing over and over again. But this holiday period presents you with the perfect opportunity to have a go at adding in some variety. Next year we are going to focus even more on how to take your bates into some new and interesting areas. So watch this space!
