BateWorld

It's our seventh anniversary online, and Peter and I want to say a great big "Thank you!" to our members, our supporters, and our staff for your dedication to the world's largest online community of bators.

Each of us at BateWorld and The BatorBlog are deeply saddened by the tragic and senseless violence at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida over the weekend. We recognize the unique, irreplaceable lives and voices who have been lost or injured, the impact on their families, friends, and loved ones, and the damage it’s inflicted on an entire community both local and international.

We're looking for writers who can contribute articles about masturbation, the arts, activism, grooming, fashion, poetry or any other damn thing you can think of that might be of interest to our readers.

Since we started BateWorld six years ago, we've been slowly evolving and improving our user experience. The current version, BateWorld2.0, was launched in 2010 after our first year of operation. We've continually improved on that foundation for five years and now we're ready to take it to the next stage. In 2016, BateWorld will begin its third phase of transformation. Our members will soon begin to see changes to the site, which may continue gradually through several more years as we upgrade every element of BateWorld.
