Ask The Batemaster: Feeling Left Out

If they’re now more inclined to share without including you, that says more about them than it says about you.

QUESTION: I share a big house with 5 college buddies and now we’re mostly doing classes remotely. One friend, J. and I are bate buds, but then we did it with P., which we all three agreed was extra hot. Now they seem more into each other and I’m hurt. What can I do?

RESPONSE: Sorry that you feel bad about losing your primary place as a masturbation buddy with your friend J. Still, you can never control how other people behave. This is one of life’s tough lessons. All efforts to make someone love you, lust after you, or even just like you, are somewhat misguided. The best approach is always to be true to yourself; be who you truly are on the inside, then the right people will appreciate you for the right reasons.

At the same time, if you can do it without resentment or accusation, it might help to try to honestly discuss this with both J. and P. You feel hurt, so it’s best to wait a little while before you try to communicate about it, or it may come across as a self-pity party. That doesn’t make anyone more attractive. To blame P. for taking J. away is probably misguided, as J. really didn’t belong to you anyway, right? You had no commitment, it seems, just a history.

If you feel ready to discuss the subject calmly, you might approach the subject of your feelings on the issue first with J. He was your original cohort in masturbating together. From my perspective and limited information on the situation, I certainly cannot tell how much these two fellows are open to such communication, or how seriously they may take your feelings.

Your communication with both of them is most likely to produce some success if you also avoid the urge to blame or shame anyone. Speak not so much about what they have done, so much as how you feel now being left out of the playtime they share. Suggest that there might be a win-win solution for all involved. If you did it with both of them together, they must both have some appeal to you. If they’re now more inclined to share without including you, that says more about them than it says about you.

Depending on how seriously they take this kind of masturbation sharing, or perhaps they do not take it so seriously, your best bet could also be to back off. Try to enjoy your own solo masturbation as much as possible. If anyone else among your housemates appeals to you, who knows what else might develop? 

You can always employ a good classic tactic among the other guys: while dressed, sort of play with yourself through your trousers, as if rearranging your genitalia for comfort. If you don’t overdo this, you can gauge the reactions of the other guys. If anyone else is interested, you can probably tell by how they react.

If you have your own room, masturbate while mostly clothed, with your door cracked, pretending you don’t know it’s open. Or if your other housemates seem more relaxed about sexual matters, you could even propose watching some porn together. At worst, they might say no, or even accuse you of being a pervert—at best, you might start a nice new trend!

A note from The Batemaster: I’m honored that the guys at Bateworld have asked me to respond to some questions from male masturbators around the world every week.

Always check with your doctor about any issues you might be experiencing with your sexual organs. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important. This article’s purpose is to inform and entertain readers and is not a substitute for medical advice or treatment.

How Bruce P. Grether became the Batemaster

Among his earliest memories, Bruce recalls seeing an adult man’s penis swing about anchored in a nest of curly brown hairs when the man was changing clothes. That penis fascinated him and he somehow knew it was of major importance. He also remembers how good it felt to slide down a stairway banister or to climb a tree with pressure between his legs sending delicious sensations all through his body.

At an early age, he played doctor with another boy his age, and the frottage he enjoyed as they rubbed their penises together made him feel One with All Things.

He was older, maybe 9 or 10 years when he figured out how to actually masturbate while taking a shower. Immediately Bruce became a fan of self-pleasure, though, with puberty, he became extremely shy about his body being seen. Still, when his pubic hair sprouted and his penis grew bigger, it astonished him how incredible the sensations could feel with adult genitalia.

All through his 20s and 30s Bruce loved masturbating and did it often. Something kept tell him though, that there could be more to it. None of the books he read about Tantra and Taoist erotic cultivation provided simple how-to instructions. Finally, in his early 40s, he came upon Joseph Kramer’s video about male genital massage: FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN.

Having no playmates to try this with, he tried it on himself. In the process, he discovered what he soon named “Mindful Masturbation.” For 6 weeks he masturbated for hours every day, and did not ejaculate once! This was the Penis Paradise he had been looking for since his adventures playing doctor as a young boy. He was changed forever and lost most of his shyness and insecurities.

Bruce began to listen deeply to whatever his penis told him. This way he learned more and more about male masturbation, the penis, and he studied human sexuality. Soon he was hired to write professionally for the sex education site JackinWorld (dot) com, which he did for some years under the name “Bruce McFarland.”

Since then, his erotic activism is more radical and he uses his actual given name: Bruce P. Grether, AKA the Batemaster. He has hosted workshops and now does online masturbation coaching. In 2012 his best-selling book THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN PHALLUS was published and with his handsome young friend Blue Tyger he created the Erotic Engineering site to explore advanced male self-pleasure practices.

Bruce considers himself a Missionary of the Male Mysteries and his work continues.
