Let there be light on that dong, bro!

What’s the point of being on a video call if we can’t see you?

We can’t get hard for what we can’t see — so turn on a light and let us actually enjoy what you’re working with, bro. Make sure the light is facing you, not behind you — or you’ll end up backlit and invisible.

Keep all your parts inside the frame

Don’t cut off the goods. Make sure we can see your whole package — penis, balls, and anything else you’re showing off.

Facing the camera is key. “Yoga” position or legs spread is an online bator’s favorite — and with good reason. Oh, and don’t crop the balls, everybody wants to see them bounce up and down.

Use an HD cam, if you can

Most laptop webcams are trash. You might think you look fine because your feed is local on your screen — but what others see is often pixelated, blurry, or just plain ghostly.

If you can upgrade your cam, do it. Everyone will thank you (silently, or not).

PRO tip for the Apple mafia . If you’ve got a MacBook and an iPhone, you can use your phone as a high-quality camera. Device requirements: iPhone XR or later (running iOS 16+), and a Mac running macOS Ventura or later.

Even better: get a MagSafe phone holder from Belkin (available [here]) and it’s seamless.

Get a mouse

Your laptop shouldn’t be at arm’s length from your dong.

To keep your laptop at a distance — and avoid crawling back and forth between strokes just to switch pinned bros — get yourself a mouse or external trackpad. Trust us: it’ll change your life and your bating experience.
