Ask The Batemaster: Holy Phallus

QUESTION:

My holiest shrine in the whole wide world is right here, between my own legs! Holy Phallus! Your GOLDEN PHALLUS book is right: this is what it’s truly all about for men, admit it or not. When you admit it, it’s like Real Magick, and you don’t need a religion. I believe this message and practice can help save the world! So how do we spread the word?

RESPONSE:

Thank you for appreciating your own genitals, for appreciating my book and what I do, and for your question.

Many of us see major things going on in the world that we want to fix or change, and such awareness is a good thing, so long as you do not take on yourself alone the mission of saving the world. At the same time, it’s super important for every person to do whatever they can to make the world a better place, which may be something very small, like offering someone a bottle of cold water on a hot day, or something bigger, like walking across a busy intersection beside an elderly person you have never met before.

The biggest issues that endanger humanity and the planet require collective solutions that involve large groups of people working in parallel, and yet no one can force this to happen. Awareness of the problems is a collective matter, and masses of people waking up to the possible solutions are required.

Certainly, one important thing going on is the threat to erotic freedom and the diversity of people who have a wide range of ways of experiencing pleasure, which some groups and forces now seek to limit.

The most effective way that I know to increase the amount of pleasure in the world and to encourage others to follow their own similar paths, is to pursue masturbatory excellence myself. I’ve been doing this for 25 years and encouraging men to practice what I call Mindful Masturbation for over 20 years now. This practice is only one of many options, but like many other forms of erotic fulfillment, it can be pursued in a manner that harms no one and may inspire many. While I do not consider it a religion, I know that for many, self-pleasure practiced as self-love is a spiritual practice. It’s not only healthy but also healing.

To heal yourself helps the world, as, in a sense, it seems like the world feels your pleasure. Thus, the more pleasure you yourself feel, the more you can benefit the world.

This is by no means the only way to pursue activism for people and the planet. But it is worthwhile, and by your example, you may inspire others. The more open and honest you can be about loving masturbation and your own penis, the more you might encourage the same kind of honesty in other men.

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.
