Listen to the episode

Congratulations on winning Season 4 of The BateOff. How does it feel to be awarded the title of Master Bator?

All I can really find in myself to say is just like I'm so grateful. You know, I feel grateful for the experience. I feel grateful for all the love and support from the community over at BateWorld. Everybody that watched and voted. There were so many people that reached out to me and told me that they were voting daily.

That really just means a lot to me. And so, you know, it was a very tough season. Everybody on the season was so talented and it was just such a diverse cast that had different unique styles. So being able to win against that cast in particular is just such a huge freaking honour. I'm just very grateful and humbled and honoured by it.

Coming in to the competition, you're a seasoned social media person - you've got a big following online. On one hand, you could feel confident that you're bringing an audience with you. But when you look at who you're up against, everyone pretty much had the same thing - so that didn't really give you much of an advantage?

There was a huge variety as far as our accounts go, you know, because we had somebody in the competition that on Twitter, for example, I think he has around 2000 followers, whereas you have somebody like myself in the competition who's up to 200,000 and then another person who's like 500,000. And so there's a range in there of, you know, we all have these different followings, but I feel like regardless of where you're at and what your following is like, you don't feel certain of yourself going into the competition.

When I submitted my videos to the competition, I felt like I was watching all of these other people in this competition. And I was just like, my gosh, like between the quality or like the cinematic approach or just the different kinks and fetishes you have like Gooner Sunny - first of all, he's so young but he's so like strong in all his gooey goonerness that I'm like my gosh like it's just so cool to to be in there with all of them but also so nerve-wracking because I'm like everybody is just so strong within their own niche and so it felt like it could go any which way.

I literally had a moment in there where I had to reach out to the producer because I was like, I don't feel like I'm going to do well. Like I had just submitted all my videos and I was like, I don't know how this is going to go. I feel like everybody else's stuff is like so good - I'm not up like to par with everybody else.

Am I embarrassing myself here? Is this even in the ballpark?

That's exactly it. Stepping into BateWorld felt like a totally different ballgame to me. And especially as I didn't really realise that I'm a bator. So I kind of felt at first a little bit like, man, they're gonna not love me. I'm not necessarily their thing.

Almost like imposter syndrome? They're going to see that I'm not really a bator or that I don't really fit in this community?

Yeah, like I felt like I might not fit in the same way that they would want me to.

Then I started to really dig in and realised I've literally been doing solo content for four years. I've never done a collab. I'm a fucking bator. Like, what am I freaking out about?

But the community was so welcoming, you know? Once we started getting the episodes out and being able to share our content, they're so welcoming and so positive and uplifting.

I'm getting all tongue-tied and tongue-twisted right now, but I have such a deep love for this community because of how positive and just nice and fun and all the comments and they're so horny. I love it.

Most of all, they're horny.

Yeah, most of all, we all are, you know, but yeah, I was worried about like not performing well and then comparing myself to everybody else in this competition, - between their creativity, their quality, and their performances - like low-key felt like a weird, vulnerable place for me to be in. Then just to see how it all turned out and just how everybody was - it was such a cool experience and I'm just very grateful for it overall.

Talk through the challenges that the competition sets for you - you had to create video responses to a series of challenges? What were some of those challenges and which were the ones that you responded best to?

We had a hands-free challenge. We had a post-workout wank. There was Male Rose sex-toy challenge. Bator Balm was another sponsor and we got bator briefs for a bulge and briefs challenge - showing off our bulge with this underwear that are designed with an extra large fly so you can pull everything out and keep them on and still jerk off with them on. Then our final challenge was getting verbal with yourself in the mirror.

The hands-free challenge has been in every season since Season One of the BateOff. That one for me felt like that's sort of my specialty in a sense. Anybody that follows me or knows what I do, you know, it was like, you knew what I was going to do for Hands Free.

When we talk about the content you create and what people would expect you to do for hands-free, we're talking about sucking your own dick, aren't we?

Just in case I didn't make that clear, yes - self-sucker here.

I was putting this pressure on myself because I'm like, I need to exceed expectations. Like, this is a new ball game, this is a new ballpark - it's not the same as just me creating my OnlyFans content.

I don't feel like I did that because I was hoping that I would be really well stretched by the time I recorded this video and could get like balls deep. It did not happen because I was so out of practice for like a couple months. But I feel like it ultimately worked out because it was a good way to pace myself, you know, not go in too strong, not peak with the first episode.

Then I ended up doing another self-suck video for post-workout wank. That one was my favourite because it felt the most like just masturbating for me. I didn't do anything that was inauthentic to me. Like this is all content you would see from me on my fans pages. It's not like I did anything crazy or abnormal. I wasn't playing a character or doing anything that I wouldn't do.

But that one in particular, I literally just set my cameras down and I just went with the flow of whatever I was feeling that day. I had no intention of self sucking for post workout wank and I was, my idea for that video was to kind of show like me after stretching and kind of a cool down stretch and then just jerk off and be horny and do whatever it is that I do. And I just went with the flow. There was a point where I was like fucking the air. Like I was so horny that day filming that video and then my body was just feeling up to it and I started sucking on myself.

Was there a strong reaction to that video that matched your satisfaction with what you put out?

I don't feel like post-workout wank necessarily stood out, especially once Mirror Challenge came in, because I got such a great response from that one. And that was actually one that I was very nervous about.

I actually recorded an original version of that video and I like was frotting with my reflection - rubbing my dick on the mirror and stuff and like making out with my own reflection - but then something about that just felt weird to me.

Too performative?

Not necessarily too performative, but maybe just a little bit out of my comfort zone to be posted online. Like I've never made out with my own reflection and I did it because it just felt good in that moment. But at the same time, like putting that out on the internet is like, I felt like people were going to say look at this fool making out with himself in the mirror.

Let's unpack that.

My therapist still doesn't know about that one.

So I re-recorded the mirror challenge and I had this idea from a TikTok that I did where I was talking to my own reflection and it was angled in a way so you could see both versions.

I was a little bit worried about that because it was editing heavy and I didn't want to be too gimmicky. I didn't want people to be too distracted by that but it was a way for me to push myself and do something different.

The response that I got from that video was way more than I could have expected. It was just comment after comment and that just felt so rewarding. It made me feel very proud and less scared.

Can we talk about your journey with masturbation? Where did it all start for you?

I have a few early memories of masturbation but I didn't start really exploring my masturbation until I was an adult. At that point, I was able to start purchasing toys and kind of let go of any sort of shame that I felt.

I didn't grow up in like a super-religious household, but I went to church with my grandma from time to time and I also lost my other two grandparents at a very young age. So I kind of had this idea in my head all the time that like they're angels, they're watching me.

They're watching me masturbate.

Yeah. And so I would, you know, masturbate, do whatever I was doing and like, it just felt good. But then that post-nut clarity would kick in and I would feel so embarrassed or like ashamed or like guilty about it.

It wasn't until I was an adult that I started to like, just kind of let go of that.

The funny thing is that even doing self-sucking online, I used to feel so embarrassed and ashamed about that. I would post it because I enjoyed it, I like putting it out there. But there's so many self-suckers out there that don't show their face and so that made me feel a little more self-conscious or ashamed because I'm like should I be hiding a little bit?

I put out a tutorial video last year and I did some research for that because I wanted to talk about some background about auto-fellatio. I found examples of auto-fellatio in culture. For example, in Renaissance art there's this statue that's on a public building somewhere in Germany - it's a guy sucking his own dick. For some reason, just seeing that made me feel like I wasn't so weird. Self-sucking has happened throughout history - in ancient Egyptian art people are depicted sucking themselves. I'm certainly not the first nor last person to ever do it. Something about that felt very validating and I was able to let go of a lot of that shame and guilt and just really allow myself to explore my body more and explore my different little kinks - my flexibility and my self-sucking.

When did the self-sucking start? When did you realise, hey, I'm pretty flexible? I guess most guys have a go at it at some point - when you're younger, you can certainly get a lot closer than when you get older because of the flexibility thing. But when did you sort of go, oh, I'm into this?

For me, it wasn't a discovery - it wasn't like I just bent down, tried it one day and was like, my gosh, I can do this. I would watch videos of other people self-sucking. I loved it. I thought it was so hot. It's always been my biggest thing. It's always got me going like immediately.

I got into dance around when I was 16 and I was also an aerial performer. That introduced me to how stretching works. A lot of people think you just have to be born flexible or have a giant dick, but you can stretch to make this happen.

I remember the first few times that I was able to lick myself or the first time I got a little bit more of my head in my mouth - my heart was pounding I was like this is so unreal like what the fuck - how am I able to do this right now?

But I felt very ashamed and guilty about doing it. I would do it and then I would be like, I'm never doing this again - this is too weird and I felt so embarrassed.

It wasn't until a few years into doing content that I started getting comfortable with it.

You must have got a lot of positive reinforcement from your audience - saying this is hot, this is horny, we're into it. Did that help you overcome that shame?

Absolutely. I've built my following on self-sucking.

I am always very grateful to those followers and the subscribers and the people that have supported me through that and helped me not only build my following but also become more comfortable with showing that off.

What was your relationship with your body like when you were growing up? Were you comfortable getting naked in front of other people?

I don't know that I was necessarily comfortable being naked in front of other people - I still won't even walk around in front of my family in my underwear.

When I was performing in high school - dance and singing and aerial stuff - I actually really loved being in my underwear backstage. I think I was just a little bit horny, maybe.

You mentioned that you didn't necessarily think of yourself as a bator coming into this competition. How did you connect with BateWorld and start to develop that sense of who you are as a masturbator?

I first found BateWorld through Colby Jacks. He and I followed each other on Twitter and I saw him back in 2023 when he was competing, I saw his posts about BateWorld in this competition. I didn't really know much about it but I decided to join. Colby was the first friend that I added on BateWorld.

You describe yourself as a solo-sexual - how did you start to connect with that identity as a solo-sexual?

I feel like I started really claiming solo-sexual more in the past couple of years or so. I used to be a bit more sexually active than I am now. And I feel like now I'm at this point where I'm largely solo-sexual, you know? I enjoy exploring my own body. I enjoy masturbation and I feel very satisfied by that. Before, I used to be like, I need sex - I was more willing to hook up and go searching for that to, you know, play around with other people. Now, I've just kind of gotten into the space where like, I'm very satisfied with having sex with myself.

But I do like to make the point that I'm still gay. I am still very much a gay man. I identify as solo-sexual but I'm still very proud to be a gay man.

Has the experience of being in the BateOff competition starting to reflect in the content you're creating for your fan-subscription channels? How do you keep that self-sucking content fresh for your subscribers?

Not every video is self-sucking. In the same light, every video is not just jerking off either - there's so many different things that I can do with just my one body or incorporating different toys - as many people can - and so just being able to sort of diversify my content has helped me a lot to to keep moving forward and keep evolving.

I think the biggest thing for me is that I take a lot of inspiration from other creators. I follow a lot of people that I really enjoy their content and I try to really focus in on solo creators because that's where I get my inspiration from.

I've even pulled inspiration from people that are doing collabs and having two, three people in a video and I'm like, ooh, I like that angle or I like that pose.

I feel like in any industry, especially in art or entertainment, you kind of have to move forward with the industry and evolve with it or try to step ahead.

Anybody can record a video jerking off, but not everybody's putting the thought in to create content that's worth paying for.

And so that's all I really try to do is just find different ways to express myself. I view it as my art. I really do. And I feel like some people might be a little bit confused by that because they're like, dude, you're just jerking off online. But I'm like, no, like this is my art - this is a way that I express myself. This is me expressing my sexuality and also getting to be creative. And people are willing to pay to watch me do this. It's such an honour.

Winning the title of Master Bator gives you a spotlight within the bator community and a bit of a leadership role as well. How do you intend to use that platform?

I'd say the biggest thing for me is just wanting to return the kindness that I've been given through this competition - all that positivity - and continue building the community on BateWorld.

I have been challenging myself to build more bridges and get more involved because the reason I joined the competition in the first place was I was feeling very isolated as a solo creator. I was needing this community.

I mentioned before the shame and guilt or embarrassment that I felt. I talk about that because I want people to understand that I've been there and we don't have to feel that way. You know, it's possible to move past that and it's a great feeling when you do and when you can embrace that it's okay to embrace masturbating. It's okay to be proud of masturbating, like as silly as it might sound to some people, but I think some of us need to hear that - I was one of those people that would have benefited from learning that earlier on than, you know, at the late age of 25, 26 when I was still feeling a little ashamed of it, you know?

But being part of BateWorld has helped me a lot with that and just made me feel a lot more comfortable. I'm just very grateful for this whole experience.
