Ask The Batemaster: Cock And Spirituality

Spiritual? Like worshipping cock?

QUESTION: Bruce—I’ve looked at your site, which is great, and you seem to talk about masturbation being spiritual. How can this be, when religions and lots of people condemn it? Of course, I like it. Personally, that’s why I’m here. But spiritual? I don’t get that unless it’s, like, worshiping cock?

RESPONSE: Most definitely the pleasure your penis provides you with alters your consciousness, takes you into an exalted state, and can take you into a realm beyond words that some guys call gooning or monkey-bate babble. With all due respect to those who take religions seriously, those last experiences I mentioned remind me of “speaking in tongues,” or “glossolalia.” How can anything be more spiritual than these states where you go out of your mind in ecstasy, and enter the void of total oblivion? Each time you come back, is like a rebirth, right? Of course, you don’t need to agree with any of this.

It’s partly a matter of what you mean by “spiritual.” To me, the word indicates that there is a lot more to things than meets the eye. Spirit simply means “energy” to me. As such, all forms in the material world are expressions of this energy, including human bodies and genitals. In my opinion, there is no “spiritual path” more natural to human males than our veneration for what I call the “Living Phallus.” This means the erect penis and the associated pleasures. Not merely as a symbol or mythic image, but the actual throbbing appendage that extends from between your legs with heightened sensitivity and its amazing ability to transport you into expanded awareness.

The truth about religious attitudes towards the penis and masturbation is not quite so negative as people imagine. Yes, modern religions have developed many negative beliefs and rules around human sexuality, but this has not always been so. Some such attitudes are relatively recent. In truth, religions have ignored and dismissed the importance of the penis and masturbation, far more often than they have been condemned. Most religious taboos around sex actually have to do with marriage and fidelity.

Much of the negativity about masturbation actually began in the early 18th century, then rose to hysterical proportions that our global culture has not fully recovered from, even now.

Fortunately, in today’s world of the Internet with the easy flow of information around the world, across national and cultural and religious boundaries, sensible human realities are enjoying a resurgence. Bateworld plays an important role in providing a context where men can honestly and safely celebrate what most men would love to freely enjoy. Here, you enjoy permission to experience and share the honest, natural pleasures of your body. You can share this with your Phallic Brothers in bliss. This is not only harmless, but beneficial, physically, psychologically, and yes, spiritually.

You can honor any religious background as a valid cultural identity without being bound by literal beliefs.

Many Brothers here resurrect the ancient phallic deities to help restore a spiritual dimension to what we human males naturally love and revere. My own practice dedicates the pleasure my penis provides to honor of the Source, the Universe, Nature, or the Great Mystery. So, whatever you believe in that’s most important to you, even the penises of your Brothers, you can worship with the blissful sensations of your cock. That’s about as spiritual as it gets.
