Welcome to another issue of the best newsletter dedicated to the discussion of male masturbation! I hope you've all found plenty of time to bate over the last two weeks!

I am going to start this newsletter with a special shoutout to all the current and former VIP club members. Their support helps keep this newsletter going! So if you want to support the work and provide information that other men can use to help themselves, then consider joining the VIP club for just $5 per month.

Also just a quick update on the first JackALL Club here is Sydney! In the end we had 20 people at our first event! It was amazing to meet so many new and familiar faces at the first event! We ended the event all sitting in a circle watching each other jerking off ourselves and each other! Was super hot! 

If you do have an interest in finding a jack off club in your area then I also want to recommend the Friends of the Jacks discord. All the main clubs in the US have regular posts about their events and there is a chat in which you can ask questions as well! 

Bating is one of those things that at a surface level is quite simple. At its most simplest it is an act of reaching ejaculation through manual stimulation of the penis. I can almost guarantee that every person has done some form of masturbation. 

Elevating bating to the next level is when you start to explore ways in which you can enjoy the build up to the ejaculation. You might start to add in edging, that is the practice of going close to ejaculation and stopping before starting again, or prolonging your session in other ways. In this stage it is no longer about reaching orgasm but about exploring the way in which you reach that orgasm that becomes the primary focus. 

Another layer you can add to your bate practice is the exploration of other sexual sensations. These can be different body parts, such as adding in some nipple or anal play. Or it can be any other bodily touch or sensation that gets you sexually aroused. You can of course also add in toys or other sexual aids as well. So combined with the stimulation of the penis, through this you can add on the discovery and exploration of different sexual practices and sensations. 

The last layer I want to talk about is the adding in others. Up until now our bating and bate practice has been completely solo. But you can as with all sexual practices also involve another. Whether that is virtually, through the use of video chat or cams, or whether it is in person. The adding in of another person or persons takes the individual into performative roles. That is it becomes about getting stimulation through both giving and receiving pleasure.

So for most of us we inhabit some or all of these different levels at different times. This morning for instance I enjoyed a little bit of edging before finally cumming. I also regularly meet up with others and enjoy bating with them. Sometimes I just feel the urge to quickly bate. So the point to remember is that for each of us as individuals the very meaning of what being a bator means will change dependent on the situations we find ourselves in.

Over to you now. Let me know if there are any other layers which you think I have missed and that you feel are important to your bate practice. Maybe you want to let me know which layers you are currently inhabiting as well. 

If this has triggered anything that you would like to discuss then maybe you want to sign up to the Man Tools Bate Support Program. For just $10 per month you get a fortnightly 30 min chat in which we explore your bate practice in a more clinical way. If that sounds like something you want to explore and you want more information please reach out to me and we can discuss your needs before signing up.
