What are the ages of our Bator community members?

Having been a part of the bator community for a couple of decades now I sometimes wonder what the average community member is like.

You can call me a geek, but I’ve always been interested in data.

I often find myself pondering the biases I might involuntarily have, especially when I read a submission from a particularly interesting man or publish a personal post from someone unexpected.

If you were to look around out there at many of the places where men gather to share their opinions and experiences of shared masturbation with other men you might have a certain perception that it’s generally older guys.

I thought it would be fun to dispel this myth and show you guys a little of what we’ve gathered from anonymized data.

You might be surprised.

I know I was.

As I’m the one who spends a few hours every day reviewing and publishing personal posts of readers seeking new buddies I could see that – at least from an anecdotal perspective – our audience was quite diverse in age range.

Still, it was surprising to discover just how evenly distributed the audience seems to be, and that those aged 25-34 are the most interested age group, followed by those aged 18-24.

I often feel as though the perception is that most men in this community are over 40. If you look at many of the established communities the published ages on profiles seem to indicate this. But I think that perception is only enforced by the reality that younger guys aren’t joining those communities, and older men are more engaged in the discussion than younger men might be. They’re perhaps not using forums or signing up to community sites as often as older men would. They’re probably using social media and more modern methods to communicate with other guys their age.

This seems to be supported by adult community discussion on sites like Reddit, where it’s most popular with users aged 25-29 (source: Oberlo)

The ages of men engaged in discussion there seems to be generally lower than the traditional adult forums we might visit for the same reasons.

I think it’s fascinating. It’s also a positive thing. I briefly checked what the data showed for the year 2019 and just 9.07% of visitors were aged 18-24. This number has almost doubled in two years.

Does this mean that younger men are discovering more about themselves than they were just a few years ago?
