Challenging competition awaits contestants of new 'BateOff' reality show

April showers bring May … masturbation.

OK. that's not quite how the saying goes, but it could. For some. For many.

After all, BateWorld.com, the premier online masturbation community for gay, bisexual, and straight men, will celebrate May's Masturbation Month with The Great BateWorld BateOff!, a reality-type show featuring six men competing in six weekly challenges to determine who becomes The Great BateWorld BateOffs! Master Bator.

The competition begins Friday, May 6, on BateWorld.com, with challenges including morning wood, bating with food, self-milking, favorite bate toys, and the hands-free orgasm.

Episodes are free to watch for all members on BateWorld.com. Basic members will be able to vote once for each episode; premium members can vote twice. The final winner will be revealed during the finale, streamed live on June 17.

“Our BateWorld original programming normalizes an activity we all enjoy,” BateWorld founder Peter R. said in a statement. “With the rise of inflation, it's the only entertainment left that is fun, safe, and free.”

“What better way to celebrate Masturbation Month than with The Great BateWorld BateOff!?,” says COACH (@milkingCOACH), host and co-producer of the competition. “We've brought together a diverse group of super users from the BateWorld community for this first-of-its-kind contest and the competition is going to be stiff!”

Competing in The Great BateWorld BateOff! will be BateWorld members Atlas420, BigStiffy, BrotherBator, DragonPuppy3, MasturOfMyBate, and ProudBator. “I discovered BateWorld in 2020,” says Atlas420. “My favorite part of BateWorld is the community, just a bunch of bator bros all together getting to talk, chat, and share pictures. It's a lot of fun.”

BateWorld launched in 2009 with a mission to promote and encourage men's masturbation as a fun, healthy and vital part of life. Members interact with one another through instant messaging, chat rooms, video, and other features which focus on both individual and communal masturbation activities. The site has more than 80,000 active members.

“Whether a man is an avid masturbator, identifies as a solosexual, or lives for daily edging and endurance sessions, there is a place for all within BateWorld,” says COACH. “This Masturbation Month, we invite all men to join BateWorld and participate in voting for The Great BateWorld BateOff! Once they join, members can learn tips, toy tricks and new techniques for their own bating lives while being wildly entertained by the erotic batefuel.”

The first National Masturbation Day was held on May 7, 1995, in honor of Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who had been fired in 1994 by President Bill Clinton for suggesting masturbation be part of the sex education curriculum for students. The annual celebration officially moved to May 28 in 2005.

“I am so honored to be included and I think it's an amazing concept for a reality contest,” said Russell/Dragon Puppy III (Twitter.com/dragonpuppy3), who lives in Northern California and admitted he is “curious and aroused” for the contest.

“I have no idea what to expect (from the competition), but it's going to be super-hot.”

Russell/Dragon Puppy III is confident that he will win because he is “blessed,” he said. He joined BateWorld from “the desire to masturbate with other guys and my curiosity.”

 “It's a diverse (mix) of beautiful masturbators (in the competition). It (will) be fierce competition if I believed in that sort of thing, though I think we will inspire a lot of men together.”

Russell/Dragon Puppy III said his standard masturbation procedure is “get centered, breathe, and slowly wake up my body before attempting to use my penis to create as much pleasure in my body as possible.” And he opts for coconut oil.

“I'm as excited as the rest of (the competitors) to see what we all come up with. Also, I want to add that masturbation is a great opportunity to give ourselves unconditional love and strengthen the bond to ourselves and sharing it with others can be an intimate and sacred act and extremely powerful and enjoyable.”

André Mason (twitter/onlyfans: andreisnoangel bateworld: masturofmybate), 30, from Detroit, said the competition will offer techniques for all. He said he is “excited, happy and proud” to participate.

“If I win, it'll be because I was authentic to my bating style,” Mason said. “I bring passion and intimacy. I'm expecting the challenges (will) push me further creatively. It's an honor to be counted amongst such a talented group.”

Mason said his masturbation procedure is to get naked, grab Albolene, “and masturbate to my heart's content.” He usually is a twice-a-day bater.

 Ricardo, aka Proudbator (Proudbator on Bateworld, Reddit, YouTube, Xhamster, Twitter, Instagram and PSN) does it three or four times a day, he said.

“I think this (competition) is the beginning of something huge, changing how masturbation online is perceived,” said Ricardo, 41, who lives in Auckland, New Zealand. “I'm thrilled (for the competition), can't wait for everyone to watch it and interact with the contestants.”

His strength will be his experience, personality and maturity, he said.

“I'm expecting to push myself even further and learn from the other contestants' experiences with masturbation,” he said. “It's incredible to think that there is a month dedicated to (masturbation); that's one more proof that we are changing the world.

“I always get comfortable (when masturbating) and clear my mind of everything else before I start. Everything I have done for the past decade has been on camera as I'm a performer, so I think of how the viewer is going to enjoy what I do, too.”
