To celebrate, the social media site BateWorld.com – which is dedicated to the world-wide masturbation community – will air the their second annual "The Great BateWorld BateOff"! It is a reality-type show featuring seven "bators" vying for the coveted title of Master Bator, reports the adult site The Sword. "Season Two of 'The Great BateWorld BateOff!' will launch Thursday, May 4 with new episodes airing every Thursday exclusively on Bator.

"Sponsored by JustForFans and hosted by last year's winner, ProudBator, the show's weekly challenges include 'mirror bating', 'toy technique', 'self-milking', 'buddy bate', and the 'hands-free orgasm'," adds The Sword.

"'The Great Bate Off' is a show in which contestants have to complete specific challenges on masturbation," explains last year's winner ProudBator in a video introducing the new contestants. "For this season we have seven new contestants in seven new super hot challenges throughout seven episodes. Each challenge involves a specific bate technique and also some very special positions."

Meet the Contestants

BatorMutt

"Back in 2019 I found the site when searching for bear communities to explore," says BatorMutt. "I was on a mission and knew what I was looking for. I signed up for the site the second I found it and I instantly fell in love."

As for his name, he says: "It had to be something simple and punchy that felt good to say during a bate and let people know exactly what i was about at a glance."

ColbyJaxxx

"I discovered BateWorld back in 2020 when I was 21. Someone had recommended it to me, and I was so excited. I could not wait to start posting pictures on BateWorld. I was super pumped."

He found his name while being a bit buzzed and hungry. "I was with an ex of mine at the time. We were a little under the influence. He was eating this big platter of cheese, and Colby Jack cheese was a part of that platter. I just remember thinking I really love the name Colby. I just thought Colby and Colby Jaxx, and being from the dairy state I just thought it was perfect and just kind of funny."

Mexican Gooner

"Well, I discovered BateWorld in the wake of the pandemic. When the lockdown began I started attending zoom groups and circle jerks. That became a way to have sexual and erotic experiences from home in a safe way. And I was captivated by the culture of people who love their bodies and love their penises and love to masturbate... That's how I found out about BateWorld."

For his name, he decided to go with a national brand. "The bater community in Mexico was even smaller so I decided to take advantage of that and kept the branding of Mexican Gooner. So I am him. So now I am THE Mexican Gooner."
