Bate Jam: A Guide to Gooning Together
Gooning is the purest form of sexual communication. All sex can be made better by learning its lessons. Leave aside preconceived ideas of silly faces and porn: gooning is a state of extreme reaction to stimulus, of unfiltered feedback where sexual energy is exchanged purely and instinctively, without words. To goon with someone is to sync up to the point where ego and fear disappear in that shared resonance.
But how to sync up different energies and styles? How can a group of people fall into such a flow? Musicians do just this during jam sessions. They come together to improvise something fleeting and beautiful. Playfulness and skill intertwine as they try to adapt to each other’s style on the fly. It’s the perfect analogy to explore what it takes to create a shared gooning experience.
We’ll explore the process in three parts. First, we’ll go over the setup. Then, we’ll delve into syncing up and building the flow together. Finally, we’ll let loose and ride it. Let’s get into it!
1.0 / Set Up
What do we need before we start jamming? Let’s consider some physical, mental and relational aspects before we get started.
They met on a Telegram group chat. It was horny and friendly, so they decided to meet for pizza to vibe-check in person. They got along great, now they do bate hang outs every few weeks. Ricky offered his house for them today.
1.1 / Instrument
It can be your voice, a cardboard box or a fiddle. Get acquainted with it. Experiment with different ways to play it and stay adaptable: a violin can be played with a bow or plucking the strings, but it can also be percussion.

1.2 / Practice
Many excellent musicians cannot improvise. Jamming is more about playfulness than execution. It takes active listening, knowing what goes with what and adapting to others on the spot. Specific skills that develop as you exercise them.
Pablo’s pretty kinky but he’s in his mind a lot. Playing with Claus, who’s a long time gooner, has unlocked some doors in him lately. He’s letting go more and having much better sex.
1.3 / Safe environment
You can’t jam in the middle of a highway. You need an open, playful and trusting state-of-mind before you can tune into others and yourself. The time and place, the people and the energy must allow for it.
Claus has bated on cam for years but bating in-person is new for them. They get anxious sometimes, “What if I can’t get hard?” But Claus feels safe with these guys, they’re sweet. The thoughts fade when they hang out.
1.4 /Freedom to fail
Being hung up on perfection is paralysing. If you’re too afraid to play the wrong note you cannot experiment. Playfulness requires support, comfort and trust. Try to build that for each other.
Kyle loves to get everyone horny by showing off his muscles and dick, but he’s an introvert. It feels safe to be himself around these guys. They encourage and make him feel hot. He can go all out.
1.5 / Enjoy the moment
You might have different backgrounds and experiences, but have each decided to play together. Cherish the occasion, give each other grace and show gratitude.
Not everyone could make it today but Ricky’s grateful for the turnout. They’re such different people and everyone has their own life but they get to connect like this and also help each other cum. They always end up bonding and having a great time.

Cosmic Bro, You Are Bate Fuel
We explore how bating and sexual energy intersect to empower healing based in Taoist and Tantric practices.
Penis Connections
There’s a rich playground where spiritual practices meet playful exploration, featuring sensual massages, semen retention, cum control, edging and bate play. It’s a sweet spot where you can connect deeply with yourself and the divine.
How did our sexuality get boxed into just baby-making?
Over time, our rich sexual wisdom got reshaped by Judeo-Christian religious institutions. Unfortunately, these powerful systems often used sexuality as a tool for social, political and personal control.
These traditional religious frameworks have often squashed our natural sexual instincts, creating all sorts of personal and community struggles. In the process, they’ve sadly disconnected our sexuality from its beautiful spiritual roots.
Bate Fuel as 'Chi'
Bate fuel is the inspiration for your dong and the desire to connect. This fuel can be triggered by watching, interacting and fantasising with others or solo. It is empowering when you learn to become your own Bate Fuel by watching your reflection or tuning into your body’s pleasure points.
Your bate fuel is sexual energy, that can be transformed for various uses, versatile like electricity, to power you through work, life, relationships and more. This fuel is part of ‘Chi’ (Taoism) and ‘Prana’ (Hinduism).
What is Chi?
Chi: It’s simply the Chinese word for “breath” – the loving breath of the universe flowing through everything around us. Chi is like a warm hug connecting our body, mind, and spirit, creating a bridge between how we experience our inner and outer worlds. In its physical form, it finds a home in men’s sperm and women’s ovaries.
The Taoist tradition has been nurturing this wisdom for over eight thousand years and has blossomed into a rich garden of both theory and practice.
Bating to heal
Imagine, an intimate space where we all come together as playful creators of pleasure, learning and growing with each other in a nurturing, abundant way. Mutual masturbation offers a wonderful doorway into this experience. Let’s explore three paths of sexual healing:
1. Sexual Acceptance
Embracing yourself as a bi, gay, or queer person and gently healing those old wounds, that shame, and the hurt that society may have caused. Finding self-love and acceptance through the warm embrace of community and emotional support.
2. Sexual Autonomy
In today’s world where sex culture is everywhere and casual hookups with chemsex are often celebrated as “freedom”, many of us end up feeling even more alone. How are you using your sexual energy? Is it helping you live a more fulfilling life or making it worse?
3. Sexual Awakening
Discovering the joy of ecstatic states through sensory pleasure – from those familiar toe-curling ejaculations to full-body waves of bliss. Feeling that magical connection where you, your bros, and the universe all become one experience.
This is only the opening of this section, which goes into techniques related to cum control and semen retention as it relates to bate, as well as two stories submitted by practitioners and the spectacular Collage Centerfold poster by NoSoxNoSex.
