Ask The Batemaster: Brain Climax

The Brain’s Role in Erotic Pleasure

QUESTION: Is it possible to climax with the brain alone?

RESPONSE: Sex education pros sometimes like to tell you that erotic pleasure actually happens in your brain. In a certain sense, this is true. Still, it’s not the entire truth. Pleasure and orgasm register in that mysterious, powerful region between your ears, just like all other sensory input and bodily experience.

Yes, you can become so aroused mentally that you will experience a kind of orgasmic release—in your mind—without physically ejaculating.

While it is possible to climax mentally, this is really just a kind of intensified fantasy that reaches a certain threshold and triggers a release of the built-up erotic tension with the kind of powerful oblivion that usually accompanies an actual ejaculation. Curiously enough, you can also ejaculate at times, in a somewhat disengaged manner, without having a full mental and emotional release. This is not an either/or situation. Still, for the most rewarding erotic pleasure—which is potentially limitless—it works best to involve the actual connection of your brain with your genitals.

Without the actual stimulation of the pleasure-receptors that grow in concentration upon your penis, and many other parts of your body that can produce pleasurable sensations such as your nipples, inner elbows, behind your knees, between your toes, your abdomen, navel—your mental experience can prove limited and shallow without the actual, direct sensations your body can produce.

In fact, one reason edging is such a powerful experience, and valuable practice is because it works best by paying extremely close attention to how near you are to that mystery called “ejaculatory inevitability,” so you can surf along that edge indefinitely. This brings the mental and genital realms close together, where they belong.

You are designed to connect your mental sphere into a seamless whole with the sensory input of your body, and this ultimately rewards you with not only limitless ecstasy, but also good self-esteem, the emotional reward of loving yourself, and this helps you to become a happier person who also appreciates other people.

The Batemaster (Bruce P. Grether)

How Bruce P. Grether became the Batemaster

Among his earliest memories, Bruce recalls seeing an adult man’s penis swing about anchored in a nest of curly brown hairs when the man was changing clothes. That penis fascinated him and he somehow knew it was of major importance. He also remembers how good it felt to slide down a stairway banister or to climb a tree with pressure between his legs sending delicious sensations all through his body.

At an early age, he played doctor with another boy his age, and the frottage he enjoyed as they rubbed their penises together made him feel One with All Things.

He was older, maybe 9 or 10 years when he figured out how to actually masturbate while taking a shower. Immediately Bruce became a fan of self-pleasure, though, with puberty, he became extremely shy about his body being seen. Still, when his pubic hair sprouted and his penis grew bigger, it astonished him how incredible the sensations could feel with adult genitalia.

All through his 20s and 30s Bruce loved masturbating and did it often. Something kept tell him though, that there could be more to it. None of the books he read about Tantra and Taoist erotic cultivation provided simple how-to instructions. Finally, in his early 40s, he came upon Joseph Kramer’s video about male genital massage: FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN.

Having no playmates to try this with, he tried it on himself. In the process, he discovered what he soon named “Mindful Masturbation.” For 6 weeks he masturbated for hours every day, and did not ejaculate once! This was the Penis Paradise he had been looking for since his adventures playing doctor as a young boy. He was changed forever and lost most of his shyness and insecurities.

Bruce began to listen deeply to whatever his penis told him. This way he learned more and more about male masturbation, the penis, and he studied human sexuality. Soon he was hired to write professionally for the sex education site JackinWorld (dot) com, which he did for some years under the name “Bruce McFarland.”

Since then, his erotic activism is more radical and he uses his actual given name: Bruce P. Grether, AKA the Batemaster. He has hosted workshops and now does online masturbation coaching. In 2012 his best-selling book THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN PHALLUS was published and with his handsome young friend Blue Tyger he created the Erotic Engineering site to explore advanced male self-pleasure practices.

Bruce considers himself a Missionary of the Male Mysteries and his work continues.

  1. Thanks so much for this thoughtful and intriguing response. You are so right that “our entire body/being is our pleasure center(s).” MY philosophical take on pleasure versus suffering is that suffering’s lessons are limited and repetitive; both my own experience and study of the subject suggest that pleasure opens the doors of perception to limitless bliss. Some suffering in human life is inevitable, so we’re wise to stack the deck on the side of pleasure. Truly there are no limits to the possibilities for penis pleasure. Peace, – BPG

  2. The brain is the most powerful sex organ we have. Sometimes when my brain takes over, I need very litlle stimulation of my penis to get myself aroused and eventually achieve orgasm/ejaculation. Thanks for your column, Bruce!

    1. And its our biggest sex organ too. So true Tim there are multiple ways we can get aroused – and off. Or even better your term – to achieve it/them. Suppose we really do “earn them”

    2. Thanks, Tim. It’s certainly true that without the brain, the penis cannot provide pleasure, and the brain can experience pleasure on its own, within your skull. However, I especially appreciate the collaboration of genitals/body/brain. – BPG
