Gay bators

Here’s something to think about. What kind of bator are you? 

The more I connect with other bators, through the podcast, my Twitter, our discord server or other avenues online or in person, the more I’ve come to realise that Bator is an umbrella term. For a long time, I thought there was a list of attributes that one had to satisfy in order to qualify themselves as a bator. And that list, at least to me, seemed long, specific and position a pretty high block. These are the kinds of bators and the kinds of activities you see online a lot, particularly if you track any bators or the relevant hashtags on twitter. But more and more I’m realising that the meaning of the phrase Bator is widening. It’s opening up to incorporate more and more penis owners who enjoy their solo pleasures. 

There are one or two types or categories that you observe online more often than others but that doesn’t make them any more valid than the other categories. I know there are many guys out there that enjoy a good solo session but feel reluctant to apply the label Bator. That was me for a long time.

Helping a Brother Out

In a September interview with GQ, Paul McCartney revealed that he and John Lennon once masturbated together when they were growing up in Liverpool. According to McCartney, they were with a community of their friends at John’s house: “The lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did.” The rock legend went on to qualify that “it wasn’t a great thing. … But it was fine harmless fun. It didn’t hurt anyone.”

Predictably, McCartney’s quote about the circle jerk hit the Twittersphere, comedians trotted out their best Beatles-themedmasturbationjokes, and the whole, uncomfortable matter seemed to go away within a not many days. But while everyone was laughing, there was one place where people took the uncovering that two of the Beatles once beat off together very seriously: the website known as BateWorld.
