Ask The Batemaster: Speed Kills

Ask The Batemaster

QUESTION: I’ve got a real problem, and maybe I need help. It started when some of my buddies offered to turn me on to something they said would make sex incredible way beyond anything before. So, we did it, and the first few times it seemed incredible, but now I find I’m strung out, not really getting off the same. I’m cranky and irritable, always looking for more, and maybe addicted. It’s like a nightmare! What can I do about my meth habit?

RESPONSE: Don’t hesitate to ask someone for help on this important issue. (The drug in question is “methamphetamine,” also known as tina or T, crystal, crank, ice, rocket fuel, etc.) There are phone hotlines you can search for online. If necessary, counselors and rehab centers can help. Your willingness to admit it’s a problem is a great step. You are not alone in this situation, and there are good people available out there who know how to help you.

You did not do something wrong, but the drug you mentioned really is bad news. In order to break away from a destructive cycle, you may have to distance yourself from those particular friends who are involved. You need to make some tough choices and accept responsibility for your actions. Get support.

Personally, I grew up in the 1960s, partly in Berkeley, California, and while the use of cannabis and psychedelics was common, there was a saying, “Speed Kills.” That scared the heck out of me, and I’m glad it did, because I’ve seen many lives destroyed by crystal meth and other hard drugs. Many years later, I finally did try meth a few times, at the suggestion of a friend—and that was enough for me. I knew I’d pay the price, so I quit immediately. Even though I had only done it a few times, I spent an entire day in withdrawal, feeling lousy.

Meth, like cocaine, is definitely not worth the price, and I’m not talking just money. These drugs are really rough on your body, and if you continue, they always bring out the worst in you, as if your personality is going downhill and you are losing control.

I suggest you seek help and do whatever it takes to make a clean break from such drugs. A far better path to enjoyment is taking good care of yourself: eat healthy food, exercise, hydrate well, get enough sleep, stimulate your mind by learning and enjoying entertainment—and develop your masturbation skills. I can tell you, when I was younger, I did try quite a few different drugs: in the long run none of them can match the really intense enjoyment of pure penis pleasure. It requires good self-care, healthier habits, and practice, practice, practice.

Even in the realm of enhanced masturbation skills, you can slip into predictable habits, so self-awareness is crucial. Try new things, branch into new territory. Truly Mindful Masturbation also means breaking away from too much reliance on porn, returning the focus to yourself, and your own body. Once you establish healthier habits, I suggest you explore this in depth.

The only popular drug I know that really can enhance masturbation and will not harm your health if used moderately and wisely, is edible forms of Cannabis.

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. If you’re able to take Bruce’s advice and get “in recovery” there’s a huge bonus. I’ve met a lot of men in men’s groups and workshops who are “in recovery” and their state of self-awareness makes them special to be with and able to relate and contribute to others whatever their status.

    1. Most definitely–recovery programs save many lives and help a great many people get on top of challenges related to substances and other kinds of dependencies. Rehab centers, counselors, 12-step or other recovery programs can make all the difference. It’s important never to be too proud to ask for help, or too stubborn to admit you need it! — BPG
