What’s up, BateWorld? Some of you may know me already, but for those of you who don’t, my name is Tyler and I’m a sex worker, privacy advocate, and out and proud masturbator. For the last two years I have been the Chief Operating Officer for BateWorld.com, helping to build a solid foundation from which this business and community can continue to grow and flourish.
As platforms and adult spaces fall out of the internet at record speed, bending to regulatory and legal overreach fueled by moral panics, it is more important than ever that BateWorld remains here for all of us; here for the long haul.
As we move into Autumn in the northern hemisphere, we’re using our pumpkin spice lattes to warm our balls and talking about what it’s meant for BateWorld to serve our community these last 15 years, and what the next 15 could bring for us.
As part of our 15th Anniversary Celebrations we’re reimagining the Bator Blog as an exciting hub for information and news about masturbation, a gallery of bator art and works, and a home for exciting and intimate personal stories from bators just like you. We’re looking for new contributors and have several paid opportunities for you to share your passions and experiences. Join our mailing list now and you won’t miss a post, pole, or pump when we go live with the all new Bator Blog.
We’re also thinking more about what it means to be authentic, present, and real. With the rise of generative AI and LLMs, it seems more significant than ever to recognize what makes BateWorld unlike anything else online: you. Our members—the guys who make up this incredible community—are real men who make real connections by sharing real experiences with each other and with the world.
Their videos, photos, and stories give power to the idea that masturbation is good, normal, and fun. That masturbation is sex. Seeing dating/hookup apps and data scrapers using generative AI guys (with too many fingers and the wrong number of teeth 🫣) makes me sure that won’t ever be the path for us. I will tell you today with confidence: we won’t use your uploads to train AI models, and we won’t prioritize AI technology over real tools to protect you and your information. And we’d rather show you real guys on Bluesky, Instagram, and X. We believe you should be able to demand that from any site or system you join.
I view providing a space where men can be and show who they really are as the #1 job of our platform. Helping those men to connect more easily with one another and share their penis pleasure with all of us is job #2. But it’s an uphill battle against lawmakers and organizers who think your body and your pleasure should be locked in the dark; legions of right-wingers, no-fappers, and misogynists who deny themselves pleasure, wrongly thinking that makes them superior to the guys who hang dong without any shame.
Nevermind that plenty of those same guys have long been lurking on BW 👀
I can’t describe what an honor it is to spend my days shoring up BateWorld for the road ahead. I’m privileged to work alongside a ride-or-die team of bators who only want to make this place better, stronger, and spermier. Watch for improvements this fall to video uploads (higher quality, longer videos), user search (easier to pinpoint bators nearby), and overall system security and safety.
For all the latest, join the (entirely NSFW) balls-out BateWorld newsletter. For the hottest, most welcoming, realest bator community, join BateWorld.com.
I love your Penis, bro.

Thank you, Tyler, for your leadership and for all you do. The start of BateWorld was a ‘seminal’ moment in the evolution of male sexuality and we’re all rooting that it stays that way and grows
Thanks man – we need more penis, more men, more horny fucking man energy
Dude, is that you? So hot! Love the long hair.
