Ask The Batemaster: Roommates

We jack together often, do mutual, even some frotting cock2cock, and kissing. But he won’t suck, says that’s too gay. What do I do?Ask The Batemaster

QUESTION: I share an apartment and have a really cute roommate. It seems he wanted me to catch him masturbating, because he would leave his door open and make a lot of noise. One night he saw me watching with my hand in my shorts, and said Why not come in? Now we jack together often, do mutual, even some frotting cock2cock and kissing. But he won’t suck, says that’s too gay. What do I do?

RESPONSE: Thank your lucky stars! What I mean is, why not be grateful for the wonderful things you share with this cute, supposed straight guy, instead of thinking about more things you want to do with him? One wonderful thing about Bateworld is that it’s a place where guys can share the fact that masturbation is as good as any form of erotic pleasure, and often it might even be preferable. With solo masturbation, you are in charge of how much pleasure you have, though of course it can be great to do it with other guys also.

We easily get programmed by commercial porn to think that the script for sex is “Flirt, kiss, reveal, stroke, then suck and fuck.” Usually the vids you see are heavy on the last two practices. It can be great to keep the focus on masturbation, and its closer variations for stimulating the penis. Of course, in reality there’s never been anything sinful about masturbating—it’s healthy and natural. Still, there is a certain Original Innocence, a kind of pure-hearted simplicity to how it can be shared. You can even bypass some of the ego games of seduction and manipulation and conquest, if you’re fortunate enough to find a guy who just loves to masturbate with you.

Pure penis pleasure for its own sake is one of life’s finest gifts you can give yourself or offer to someone else to share for the sheer enjoyment of it.

You are extremely fortunate, Brother! Of course, this is not to suggest there’s anything wrong with other forms of shared pleasure, but why not encourage guys to consider that not only is masturbation great, masturbation really does have some special virtues? To share it among all kinds of men ought to be encouraged, right?

You can make a good case for the idea that masturbation is not only real sex, it’s the original form of sex, from how some baby boys are seen through sonograms to be doing it in the womb. It’s also for sure the most common, healthiest, and safest kind of physical pleasure you can enjoy! It really doesn’t matter what label you put on yourself—masturbation is something most men love to do, and a lot of them can get turned on doing it with another guy.

In your situation, my advice is to be grateful and enjoy everything you and your roommate do together. If you push him for oral sex, there’s a chance he’ll back off. Let the situation evolve naturally, like it did when he invited you into his room.

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. Interesting question. I agree with Bruce, just enjoy what the both of you are willing to do. Perhaps as he gets more comfy and relaxed he’ll expand his “limits,” I think we all have limits and certainly interests when it comes to sharing our “sport” with others. For him masturbating together seems to be a normal thing guys do but getting sucked off by a guy just doesn’t work for him. And just respect that. Otherwise you may ruin the mutual adventures you’re currently enjoying & he’ll become reluctant to masturbate with you at all – because of the direction you insist on going. Masturbation truly is a pleasure that we learn more about as we go.

    Like for my own interests, I’m not at all interested in doing anything for reals with a guy. But cyber…sure. I don’t mind watching or helping others get off.

    1. Great comment–thanks! Yes, it’s best for everyone when everybody’s preferences are respected. Plus, as the saying goes, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” In other words, someone wants to give you a horse for free, don’t be too picky about inspecting it’s teeth for evidence of health or age. If you want the horse, just say, “Thank you very much!”
