Literally cried writing the editorial. I can't believe we pulled this project off. A whole cultural framing of bator culture in 5 acts. Overwiew. Water/Community. Earth/Edging basics. Fire/Kink. Wind/Ecstasy, Queer Masculinity and Brotherhood. Thank you for everybody who made this possible.

I've been writing the fifth zine for 12 weeks. I'm so tired, but we're almost there. One more week and it goes to print. It's coming out so incredibly well. Can't wait to show it to everyone.

Bator Sex: Ecstatic will have 60 pages. It will feature: - Unreal mind-melding cover by @theslagroom.bsky.social - Trippy edging as instruments collage centerfold by @nsns.bsky.social - Bate Jam: A Guide to Gooning together illustrated by @osetesensuhabitat.bsky.social It's gonna be unreal.

Bator Sex: Kink includes a poppers lesson. Learn all popper compounds and their differences in 5 minutes! Safer use, recommendations and what to do if you've had too much at batorbro.com/poppers Artwork: @frandsgabriel.bsky.social 's portrait of @erichassan.bsky.social

I'm working on the very last article of Zine 5, the very first one on the zine: the Trance piece. The one that talks about what trance is and defines gooning. I think I've reached a very solid framework for it after these two years of writing about it. But I need to bate now, my mind is melting.

@beastlyb8r.bsky.social hey man, just heard your episode with Alex. It was really wonderful, you guys really touched on all the key elements that make bating and the bating community special. Loved the way you guys talked about gooning and trance too. We're def gonna reference it in the zine.

I just finished writing the most complicated text I've ever had to write in my life. It took about a month to write, talking to musicians & gooners, some rewrites and changes of direction. It was hell but I am so proud of it. It's gonna be the main piece of Zine 5. I cannot wait for you to read it.

I've been trying to explain what Gooning is for the last two years of my life. I've tried using so many different analogies: dancing to music, holding on to an electrical current, riding a rollercoaster... Explaining a physical sensation is so challenging.

DHL has stopped a shipment of Bator Sex zine from London to Barcelona because it was deemed "porn", even though Bator Sex is basically sex education and has an anti-porn stance. Royal Mail apparently also has a similar policy against "pornographic material" and "sedicious literature".

Im writing this article for zine 5 about group gooning being similar to a jamming session. The way you have to create the flow together in order to then ride it and get lost in it. and goddamn, im struggling. writing is harddd y'all.

You can't goon in a vacuum.

The fascist took your gay porn away, shocking.

Bator Sex: Kink's "Cock and Ball Gear" section goes into selecting cock rings and ball stretchers and the different sensations you can get from different materials. Check out more at at batorbro.com/batorsex4

I asked Phokdoggie to write about assturbation for Bator Sex 4: Kink He came up with a beautiful text about exploring pleasure and gender constructs through assplay It's the perfect bridge to our upcoming fifth issue. You can read it here: batorbro.com/assturbate Artwork by @nsns.bsky.social

I've been trying to concieve a version of Batorhood that is queer, inclusive, anticapitalistic and truly community driven. I dream of a decentralized network of close knit communities that collaborate to built events and real human connections. I'm happy to say, it's starting to take shape in BCN.
