I recently was feeling very horny and my bate went from start to finish in less then a minute. It was one of those times when I needed to jerk off for no other reason then I was feeling horny. It actually didn't decrease my horniness so I am not entirely sure what I got out of it to be honest.
It made me think that there can be a level of patience required for bating. When you're not feeling particularly patient you might want the length of time to be quick. You might want to edge a little bit but you will want to reach a climax as soon as you can. How can we allow ourselves the patience it takes to really get into a good bate?
