Ask The Batemaster: Masturbation Partner & Jealousy

Ask The Batemaster

If you get too possessive of anyone, that can easily lead to problems, even estrangement.

QUESTION: My best friend and I love to masturbate together. We’ve done this since we were way too young to legally mention here, though we’re young adults now. We watch each other, never porn, and love to do this mutually, even kissing sometimes. I don’t feel a need for anyone else in terms of sex, but he says he’s bi and wants a girlfriend too. I hate that! How do I get over my jealousy?

RESPONSE: Perhaps you ought to consider your friend, not only your own wishes in this. If you get too possessive of anyone, that can easily lead to problems, even estrangement. More effective for both him and for you, may be to communicate clearly with him something like: “What I share with you means a lot to me, it’s important to me, but I also want you to be happy.”

Is this true? If so, it signifies some emotional maturity on your part. A famous song says, “If you love someone, set them free.” This doesn’t mean you will lose him. On the contrary, to cut him some slack may prove a more effective way to keep your bate buddy as part of your life. Stretch yourself a bit, truly think of him, offer him free range to explore. You cannot know for sure where this will lead, and of course there is a chance he will shift towards another relationship.

Still, if your pal is truly bisexual, as he tells you, most likely he will still want some penis time with you. The kissing suggests some real emotional intimacy. The fact you don’t need porn, but both seem to get off on each other’s bodies also suggests that he probably will want to continue some playtime with you also. The last thing is something you cannot guarantee, however, so it may be a good idea to also open yourself to finding other bate buddies, if you don’t have any.

The whole world of guys sharing what guys love to do so much is really a major coming thing (pun intended)! Of course, while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with oral and anal activity, more and more guys of all sexual persuasions are getting interested in bating with buddies, as a way of male bonding and just really intensely getting off.

You can make a case for the fact that guys masturbating with guys is in some ways the most natural form of erotic pleasure men can experience. Oral and anal sex can be great, but there is usually some sub-text of control, even dominance and submission. There’s something especially pure and innocent (as well as hot!) about male masturbation and sharing it.

Guys naturally understand how to pleasure another guy’s penis, because they have their own. Most guys, regardless of sexual identity, can enjoy masturbation with other guys, and usually want a lot of physical pleasure for its own sake, which is a wonderful thing. Even information like Kinsey should be taken with a grain of salt, and labels like gay, bi and straight really refer to kinds of behavior, not kinds of people.

With you and your friend, there’s some personal history and emotional warmth to treasure also, so take care not to push him away by clinging too hard. If you try too hard to control him, it probably won’t work anyway.

Just be sure to let him know how much he really means to you.

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.

  1. Dear young man, I heartily agree with The BateMaster and what he’s beautifully written. Although I didn’t have the pleasure of growing up with a bate bud, I now bate with guys which includes a long time friend. I’m also married to a woman and I’m bi. We have an open marriage which allows me to masturbate with guys. I struggled with having “crushes” on guys for most of my life. The same counselor who helped us open our marriage helped me overcome having these crushes. Being too possessive never ends well in my experience. Issues like need for permanence and fear of loss and rejection always got in the way for me of living a happy, content life and experiencing healthy sexual pleasure and warmth. I find the more I can hold on lightly and change jealousy to what is known as “compersion” (The feeling of joy one has experiencing another’s joy…such as seeing a loved one love another) the more satisfied we all can be. If you egg your friend on, to enjoy that girlfriend or pussy he wants, you might find that your bate sessions with him are even hotter. It might sound counter-intuitive, but it works.

    1. This is great wisdom and insight from your own experience, plus an excellent extension of my response, for which I am very grateful, Brother. Peace, BPG

  2. I really like the notion that buddy masturbation is the most natural form of sharing erotic pleasure – allowing us to focus on our own bodies and sensations and energies. “Natural” meaning that it’s something that so many boys and men share.

    Anal sex for the lucky bottoms that are members of the “ass tribe” can result in delicious submission and letting go, which is quite different and often results in feelings of bonding, and I think something similar happens for the top. That’s why I think that it’s not accidental that cocks fit inside so nicely – a gift of evolution to facilitate bonding of horny teenagers.

    But it’s also not accidental that hands just naturally wrap around cocks, and arms are just the right length for sitting and standing stroking cocks to ecstasy, alone or with buddies!

    1. What a wonderful response here! Indeed, I feel that the evolution of upright-standing, bipedal humans is a key aspect in why our hands so perfectly can reach and stimulate our penises and ultimately our entire bodies. Yes: a mouth, an anus, a vagina, are all perfectly suited in their specific ways to receive and provide specific pleasurable stimulation to penises. Our fingers are especially sensitive at the tips, which allows us not only to stimulate a penis, our own or a fellow male’s in detail, but to enjoy the manual and digital feelings, as well as the penile sensations. Our human penis has, no doubt, become the largest proportional to body-size of any primate, because our bipedal stance allows the organ to protrude so visible, flaccid or erect. Given several million years of attention, we’ve morphed this organ into the remarkably advanced, ultra-sensitive sensory delight it is today!
