Meet some of the world’s best masturbators.

BateWorld.com is an online community of men who really embrace the solosexual joy of masturbation. These are guys who love to goon, and love to watch other guys jacking their cocks and blowing a load.
Each year, users of the site vote to select their master bator. We caught up with the men that were showcased in this year’s competition.
Colby Jaxxx
Can you remember the first time you jacked-off?
I remember the first time I jerked off like it was yesterday!
It was to a specific picture of Zac Efron wearing a particularly flattering pair of sweatpants.
How did you feel when you first jacked off?
The first time I jerked off, it was honestly a mind-blowing experience. I just wanted to lock myself away and do it all day, everyday.
Did you talk about it with anyone?
Growing up, I didn’t have a particularly large group of male friends. Sex and masturbation was never discussed with me outside of the designated public school classes.
Unfortunately, I missed out on the male-bonding experience in my youth but I’m definitely making up for that in my adulthood.
Did you try any different techniques in those early years?
I remember experimenting with different textures a bit. Fleece was definitely a favourite for bed humping.
I also tested out a few different stand-ins for a dildo – that didn’t work out that great.
How has your jack-off style evolved over the years?
Now, as an adult, I have access to so many different toys and accessories. But, if I’m just having a standard hand-to-penis jerk-off session, my style has really stayed the same. I still watch the same porn I did back then! Can’t beat the classics.
What’s your preferred way to jack-off currently?
Right now, I’m kind of obsessed with my masturbation sleeves and strokers – there are definitely some creative ones out there.
My favourite right now is a football shaped one because, well, it’s just silly and honestly feels good.
What jack-off hints or tips would you give a young guy just starting to explore his sexuality?
I guess if I were speaking to my younger self, my advice would be to love who you are and accept your body. Look in a mirror and speak words of affirmation to yourself while you jerk off once in a while. You will start to see yourself in a more positive way and set you on the right path of self-love and build confidence.
Also, use lotion, wash your cum-socks and don’t edge until your nuts ache.
Milking Coach
Milking Coach is the man behind the event. We caught up with him to go behind-the-scenes of this year’s bate.
How did you select the contestants that are competing in this year’s Bate-off?
We wanted a diverse group of bators with their own styles, so we searched BateWorld members who owned their unique creativity and also had a strong social presence.
What’s the size of the BateWorld community?
We have about 90,000 members and I hope everyone watches! I also hope that men discover the diversity of BateWorld through the show.
I follow a number of bate enthusiasts on Twitter – guys talk about being solosexual and pornosexual. Are we seeing an increase in guys embracing a bator identity?
There is a huge increase in guys embracing the bator community, and it’s been incredible to watch!
At BateWorld, our mission is to normalise masturbation and to help end the shame that still exists with it – I see many guys opening up and sharing themselves with other bators exponentially. I think this is where the internet has been helpful, where people are realising there are others who want to share their masturbation and experiences and it’s hopefully becoming more commonplace to say “I love masturbation!”
You specialise in creating content that shows you milking the cum out of men. How does milking fit within the landscape of bating and gooning?
Milking is about giving up control of your penis and orgasm to another who’s purpose is to offer new sensations and a new headspace in relation to your penis and sexual self.
I consider myself a solosexual, so my milking techniques come from years of learning new ways to masturbate myself and others. Quite often, the men I milk will enter a gooning state derived from their new penis experiences.
I’ve definitely seen the term milking really become more and more part of the masturbation lexicon through the years and I’m proud to have contributed my small part to that.
What sort of response do you get from the BateWorld community to events such as the Bate-off?
I’ve heard so many great reactions about the different bating styles the contestants showcase and how hot it is to see them expose themselves.
When it comes down to it – long after voting ends – it’s amazing bate fuel for everyone to enjoy and masturbate to!
Proud Bator
This year’s BateOff is hosted by Proud Bator – the winner of last year’s competition. We caught up with him to discuss what we can expect from this year’s BateOff.
How did you feel when you won the 2022 Bate-off?
When I won Season 1 as the Bator of the year, it felt great indeed. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the show going in but seeing the final results I felt very good – not just for myself, but for the show and all the people around the world who were rooting for us all.
This is a huge step into an unknown territory and we are the pioneers, I’m honoured to be the first winner of the show.
With fan-subscription sites, you’re able to monetise your masturbation. If you could talk to your younger self – when you were just discovering the joys of jacking off – how do you think your younger self would feel if you told them that one day you’d become a professional and award-winning masturbator?
I would tell my younger self to stay strong on his ideals about what masturbation means to him and I would tell him to ignore the negative input and the jokes made about bators. The road will be very rocky for about a decade and then it will open up to infinite possibilities. Don’t ever question your gut feeling!
You’re one of the leading faces of the online bate community. What’s your experience of that been like?
It has been a great experience and I take it to the heart – I’m so proud of being supported by so many amazing people of all walks of life and sexual orientations, who see in me a sort of role-model that they can relate to, someone who understands them, no matter what background they might have.
Being a bator goes far beyond sexual preferences – it’s always been about oneself and our own experiences with our own bodies and that is what I always make sure that my supporting fellows out there understand.
You’ll be hosting this year’s Bate-off competition. What makes a good on-camera bate performer?
In my humble opinion, I believe you either have it within you or you don’t.
Masturbating with others is such a personal experience with so many nuances, but to be a good bate performer you need to be real, you need to know yourself first, you need to be in the right mood for it and you can’t expect to be loved by everyone.
What do you hope that people feel when watching the Bate-off competition unfold?
I do hope that the same enthusiasm from Season 1 is transferred to Season 2.
These bators are just amazing and I hope everyone will be delighted to see how many incredible bators exist out there.
I’m sure it will be an amazing experience for everyone watching it this year!
Popper Nate
Can you remember the first time you jacked-off?
I don’t remember the first time with my hand, but the first ejaculation that is etched in my memory is from humping a large stuffed bear when I was around 10 or 11.
I’d noticed that his fur felt really good when I rubbed on myself and kept doing it every so often for a while until one time it started feeling better than usual and I couldn’t stop. And that’s when I ejaculated onto that poor bear’s fur.
How did you feel when you first jacked off?
It felt really good at first! But it was also confusing, I thought I had pissed myself so I felt embarrassed and I told myself I’d stop. But eventually went back to doing it. I remember even telling myself “ok only one more time and then never again” and then “ok I’ll only do it once a week” and then “ok I’ll only do it once a day”. I remember I kept bargaining with myself to stop but obviously I never did!
Did you talk about it with anyone?
Never mentioned that experience to anyone. But a year or so later, jacking off would come up as conversation during sleep-overs. That’s when the other guys mentioned that you can just use your hand to do it, so I could finally give that poor stuffed bear a rest.
I never really talked about jacking off with people I knew. The few times I experimented with friends growing up it was a “one and done” thing and they never even wanted to acknowledge it happened.
I internalised the idea that masturbation was something very shameful, or embarrassing, or immoral.
Did you try any different techniques in those early years?
I remember an old website called JackinWorld that had a guide to a whole bunch of techniques – like the back-hand, the rosey palm, or sitting on your hand until it fell asleep. I think I tried every technique listed on that site. I still use the back-hand on myself and the rosey palm is really intense, so it’s fun to do it on another guy!
I inadvertently taught myself to “edge” in those early years because I’d have to wait so long for the images to load on the slow dial-up internet and by the time the image loaded I’d want to look at something new.
How has your jack-off style evolved over the years?
Originally, the goal was to ejaculate as quickly as possible because that felt great, and being young you could keep doing it all day. Who doesn’t remember staying home from school and trying to beat your daily record?
In college, it was all about doing it quickly and secretly so roommates wouldn’t notice.
After college, the world of webcamming was beginning to take off and I enjoyed the aspect of just masturbating for the sake of masturbating.
Now, I take my time and enjoy it.
What’s your preferred way to jack-off currently?
I’m all about edging now. The two to three hour journey of getting to the orgasm is almost more enjoyable than the 30 seconds at the end.
I use a lubricant to reduce friction and prolong it.
I usually just use my left hand, even though I’m right-handed – that hand needs to type and use the computer mouse.
Sometimes I will use a masturbation toy like a FleshLight, and less often I’ll use a butt plug to stimulate my prostate while bating.
What jack-off hints or tips would you give a young guy just starting to explore his sexuality?
I’d encourage a young guy to not see masturbation as a way to just ejaculate as quickly as possible. Spend time making yourself feel good so you know what you like. If you’re used to making yourself feel good, that can also help you make your partners feel good too, and tell them what you like.
I’d also remind a young guy that everyone masturbates and you shouldn’t feel ashamed for doing it.
Bator Mutt
Can you remember the first time you jacked-off?
The first time I jacked off was during puberty as a teenager. From then on, it became a very frequent habit.
How did you feel when you first jacked off?
Jacking off for the first time felt amazing, of course! It was a great way to reduce stress during a very intense period of my life.
Did you talk about it with anyone?
I talked about masturbation with a few friends, though none of them were gay. We talked about how often we did it, and what we used to do it.
Did you try any different techniques in those early years?
I tried a few different techniques – lube, and no lube, different hand positions, that sort of stuff.
How has your jack-off style evolved over the years?
My style with it has evolved in that I got really into edging, became more in tune with my body’s response to it, and I’ve experimented with many different toys and genres of porn.
What’s your preferred way to jack-off currently?
My current favourite way to stroke is to just kick back, put on some rhythmic bass-y music, find something pretty hypnotic like a compilation vid, trainer, or use this program called “flipflip” to randomly display various images from my porn collection and just edge for a couple of hours. Also, lots of lube – Bator Balm specifically.
What jack-off hints or tips would you give a young guy just starting to explore his sexuality?
I’d tell a younger person not to rush things. Don’t feel the need to do a super deep-dive into all the kinkiest stuff you can find or anything, just let your style naturally progress. Not only is it healthier to do it that way, it’ll also give you time to mature and develop before you start to open yourself up to more adventurous behaviour.
GayHeaux
Can you remember the first time you jacked-off?
The first time I jacked off was in middle school to some random porn not centred around masturbation. It was really hot and I didn’t really know what else to do except stroke along.
How did you feel when you first jacked off?
The first time I jacked off was hot, exhilarating, pleasurable – so many things I had never experienced up until that point. I couldn’t wait to do it again and explore the experience some more.
Did you talk about it with anyone?
I absolutely did not talk about it with anyone else. My sexual discoveries were initially a solo endeavour which I believe is why I’m such an exhibitionist now.
I am on the complete opposite end of the sexual liberation journey these days – I think shame and taboo associated with exploring my sexuality was heavily present in the initial years.
Did you try any different techniques in those early years?
Just about anything you can imagine, including hands and dry-humping a bed.
I didn’t have access to anyone or anything around those times but I loved to get my dick greased-up and edged.
How has your jack-off style evolved over the years?
It has evolved to a place where I want to immerse myself in the sesh as heavily as possible – free of inhibitions. The things that help me get into that place are of course poppers, cock rings, and a helping hand.
What’s your preferred way to jack-off currently?
My preferred way to jack off is definitely outside in nature and with a friend, but when those options aren’t available, fresh poppers and exposing myself spread eagle on cam will always do the trick.
What jack-off hints or tips would you give a young guy just starting to explore his sexuality?
I would simply tell them not to be afraid to try toys or techniques that allow them to maximise the pleasure they get from their bate.
I would also remind them to not neglect their nipples.
The Cocky Prince
Can you remember the first time you jacked-off?
Vividly. I think I was 11 or 12 the first time I ever had an orgasm.
I always had a fascination with my cock, even though I grew up in a very religious household. I would feel a lot of guilt for playing with it so much but I couldn’t help doing so.
I heard a couple times from friends how jacking off was supposed to feel, however, my first attempts when I was about to orgasm it made me feel like I was going to pee myself, so I kind of panicked. Until one day, I just let myself go and cummed. Got sperm all over my face.
Ever since, it just became my favourite thing in the world and I dedicated any free time I had to masturbating. Whenever and wherever I had the chance.
How did you feel when you first jacked off?
I was confused at first. I couldn’t believe how something so shameful – according to my elders – could feel so glorious. I tried for a very long time to suppress it because of that shame but, honestly, I wasn’t able to control myself for a second.
It took me a very long time to actually come to terms with it and to fully embrace it in the way I do today.
Did you talk about it with anyone?
Once I got lost into the habit I would bring up the topic a lot with some of my buddies – I enjoyed getting the conversation rolling, sharing stories and seeing them get progressively horny so we would jerk off together.
My dad was always very open about it too once he realised I was doing it so much. It was discovering his porn stash that got me into collecting porn, and he even gave me a couple of my first porn DVDs.
Did you try any different techniques in those early years?
During high school, I would browse online a lot about different ways to spice up my bate game. I remember one day finding some old-school gifs of different techniques and I tried every single one of them.
How has your jack-off style evolved over the years?
During my early years I always felt rushed to cum quickly, I didn’t grow up with a lot of privacy and getting caught was a major no no for various reasons. I would also jack off in very risky places chasing that rush, it felt familiar to me.
Living by myself gave me the time and space to slow down and enjoy every stroke, especially more now working from home.
I still chase that rush from time to time, one way or another, but nowadays I value more being able to dedicate hours upon hours edging and making my dong feel good rather than masturbating just to find some relief.
What’s your preferred way to jack-off currently?
Getting greasy as fuck – the greasier the better – and surrounded by a lot of porn. I got a pretty insatiable dong and I need a lot of stimuli to calm that hunger. I enjoy diving deep down that goon head-space, getting high, setting the mood with lights, having mirrors around, playing bate beats, having multiple videos playing at the same time, especially when there’s a lot of dirty talk, flesh and hard penises, and last but not least, being in the company of my favourite bate buddies, via webcam or in-person. I’m hard as fuck right now just taking about it.
What jack-off hints or tips would you give a young guy who’s just starting to explore his sexuality?
First and most importantly – always listen to your penis. It is very important getting to know your own cock, what makes it happy, what keeps it raging hard, and embrace it as much as possible. Masturbate as much as your cock desires, there’s no such a thing as too much if you can find a balance that’s sustainable.
Second – slow down and take your time. Allow yourself to feel free and indulge in every single sensation without shame or pressure whatsoever.
Lastly – don’t forget to be adventurous. Sometimes we get too comfortable and forget that there’s a world of pleasure out there waiting for us.
Mexican Gooner
Can you remember the first time you jacked-off?
It could be an inaccurate memory but I think the first time I became aware that my pelvic area was a source of tremendous pleasure was with the hydrojet of a swimming pool at a beach hotel.
Years later, in my puberty, my friends from school and I would buy pornography DVDs on the street and we would organise sleepovers to masturbate together. Now that I think about it, I’ve been part of circle jerks for longer than I thought.
How did you feel when you first jacked off?
I’m sure I felt enormous pleasure followed by enormous shame – not so much from the act itself but from the connections or fantasies that came into play.
As a gay man, I had to deal with years of guilt and bodily discomfort in my youth. But, in the end, bating helped me break down my own sexual taboos. Also, it allowed me to love and enjoy my body, and enhance the intimacy with others.
Did you talk about it with anyone?
My friends back then were all straight and hyper-masculine – they played soccer, they had girlfriends. I was very closeted – what came to be said was about how good it felt. We compared who ejaculated more, who was bigger – that kind of thing.
Did you try any different techniques in those early years?
Not really, though I remember exploring more than once with my mom’s The Sharper Image back-massager.
How has your jack-off style evolved over the years?
I think the pandemic was key. In an attempt to have erotic interactions from home, I started frequenting video chat-rooms. Then, I found Reddit forums where zoom masturbation rooms were posted – another Reddit forum instructed me in the art of edging, and one thing led to another.
One good night – after hours of teasing and denying my nut, and helped by the poppers’s fumes – my state of consciousness reached a place where my penis took control of my body and mind. I adopted almost animal gestures and postures, I was drooling, babbling and repeating mantras – I was all penis. That occasion was game-changing.
What’s your preferred way to jack-off currently?
In front of a mirror, being very verbal, encouraging myself to go deeper and deeper into a semi-meditative ecstatic penis state. I love being my own porn!
What jack-off hints or tips would you give a young guy just starting to explore his sexuality?
Find a place and time where you are comfortable and can completely disinhibit yourself. Be verbal, sniff yourself, observe your body, pay attention to what turns you on and turns you off. Allow yourself to discover all the pleasure that is hidden in your penis, in your scrotum, in your nipples, in your urethra, in your ass – that’s the best gift you can give yourself. Also, always grease up.
YourGirlfriend
Can you remember the first time you jacked-off?
Can’t say I remember the first time, as I definitely discovered it naturally very early.
How did you feel when you first jacked off?
I mostly just remember these waves of extreme pleasure followed by an overwhelming sense of shame. I find it interesting that this was my experience even though I discovered my body before I even understood what I was doing. No one in my life told me what I was doing was bad or wrong, but I think this just attests to the work we as a society need to do around sexuality and body acceptance so our young people don’t have to experience that.
Did you talk about it with anyone?
I guess it came up with classmates while growing up. I was pretty shy and reserved though so they were always kind of shocked and reacted like, “what? You do it too?” Which is kind of ironic given what a sex maniac I am now.
Did you try any different techniques in those early years?
I definitely humped my bed and pillows for a long time until I learned how to stroke with my hand in the traditional fashion.
How has your jack-off style evolved over the years?
I think I’ve really learned to savour and appreciate the moment more. I used to just masturbate as a way of escapism and exorcism. Being queer was something dangerous so I really just wanted to rid myself of those feelings and move on and pretend those feelings weren’t there. Now, I feel so much more at home with my body and sexuality so I try out lots of new toys and techniques often and edge as long as I possibly can until I’m so gooned that all I can feel is pleasure.
What’s your preferred way to jack-off currently?
I love a buddy bate. I want it to go on for hours and hours. I want to make out and hold each other and just worship each others full bodies until we’re just fully drained. Those are the bates that really deeply satisfy me.
What jack-off hints or tips would you give a young guy just starting to explore his sexuality?
I would just encourage them to explore as much as they can and find what really turns them on and makes them feel good and really lean into that without reservation. As long as it’s doing no harm, it’s good. Your body is sacred which means you’re allowed to use it however it gives you pleasure and not be concerned with shame or holding back.
