FAQ

Adult work for men. Read it straight.

What is BATE FUEL VIDEO?

The watch room. Music videos and films for men, by The Concrete Shamans — Patrick and Merrick.
Watch the cut you came for. Hard cuts stay here. No platform algo decides what you see.
The site was built for one-handed viewing on a phone. Desktop works if you want a bigger picture. Cast it to a television when you want the room. How-to is on Casting and Streaming.
Featured, newest, trending, and under-the-radar sit on the home page. The full catalog and the numbers live on All Videos.

Who are The Concrete Shamans?

Patrick and Merrick. A married male couple making original music, videos, and films for men. Full story on About The Concrete Shamans.
Music together since 2020. First song out: MULTIVERSE, May 2023. Early work was synthpop and synthwave about trauma, conspiracy, aliens, and childhood wounds. Then the records turned toward the body. MASC was the sexual reawakening. BATE FUEL was the turning point. BATE FUEL DX is what the work looks like when nobody else holds the keys.
This is adult art, not pornography. The through-line is masculine shame — the training that tells a man his body, his creative energy, and his sexuality are things to hide. We make images of men who are done hiding.

Who is Patrick?

Patrick Coleman is the artist, musician, writer, and director of this catalog. One half of The Concrete Shamans.
Born Patrick John Coleman. For years he published and produced as Eric Durchholz — novels, 3D male photography, early internet video, radio, comedy, and almost thirty years of underground male erotica. The work stayed off the studio track on purpose. He took the Patrick name back. That same taste is what this site is built on.
He is also a shaman. Concrete Shamanism is the practice under the band name. The erotic work is the same current taken into the body. When he is on camera, it is him. See LOVE and B8 (Explicit).Still from B8 Explicit, uncensored MASC cut by The Concrete Shamans

Who is Merrick?

Merrick is Patrick’s husband and the other half of The Concrete Shamans.
He produces. He shapes the tracks. He holds the hunger for the pre-app world — men meeting, looking, and connecting without a grid of profiles between them. That hunger is in the films.
First name only. That is how the work is signed. Patrick and Merrick. Two men. One catalog.Still from TREETOPS by The Concrete Shamans

What is the purpose of this work?

Unashamed masculinity and male brotherhood.
A man owns his body, his desire, and his place among other men. He does not split himself into the parts that are allowed and the parts he has to hide.
Every video on this site is built to pull you into a specific state:
Presence instead of distraction
Awareness instead of escape
Connection instead of isolation
We take the raw charge of unashamed masculinity and make it intentional. Drop the shame and the energy comes back. Creativity comes back. Brotherhood becomes possible.
That is the purpose. Not a brand story. A job.
Read the full frame on Unashamed Masculinity And Male Brotherhood.

What do you mean by direction?

The line the work is walking, and the line a man is asked to walk with it.
SO YOU WANT TO BE ENLIGHTENED? is the initiation. The old story fails. The lessons get hard. That world lives in YWTBE.
MASC is the sexual reawakening. Desire pulled out from under shame. MASC MANIFESTO is the first feature.
BATE FUEL is the turning point. An album of bate music, released April 3, 2026, with BATE FUEL: The Movie — black-and-white beefcake, shot like a magazine that never cuts to an ad.
BATE FUEL DX is the long watch. June 19, 2026. Twenty-one tracks in a row. 96 minutes. Exhibition cut for bars, clubs, and theaters.
From here: more films, more real men in the frame, more collaboration, a men’s house that stays male-only and unpolitical. No studio. No sponsor. No paywall if we can help it.
For the viewer the direction is simpler. Stop hiding. Stay in the body. Use the charge as fuel instead of a problem to finish as fast as possible.

What do you mean by energy?

The current in a male body when shame is not sitting on it.
Sexual energy is not a side room. It is creative force. It feeds discipline, connection, and growth. Suppress it and you suppress your aliveness. Integrate it and the current starts moving again.
That is why ENERGY is a song on MASC. That is why the edits hold the charge instead of dumping it. Stay in it. Read the desire as information, not as a race.
When we say fuel, we mean this. The heat. The attention. The brotherhood that shows up when men stop flinching.

How do I find a video?

Several doors. Use the one that matches how you hunt.
Search sits at the top of every page. Type the title.
Home is for browsing. Trending this week. Featured. Under the radar. Newest. Coming up.
The category bar splits the catalog by world:
BATE FUEL
BONUS
BROTHERHOOD
EXPLICIT
MASC
MOVIES
SHORT FILMS
VAULT
YWTBE
All Videos is the catalog and the stats board. A–Z if you know the name. Trending if you want what is running hot. All-time views if you want what has lasted.
Playlists are for letting it run:
BATE FUEL Party
Explicit Videos
MASC Album Playlist
MASC Classical
Occult Music Videos
On a video page, Random jumps you to another cut. You May Also Like keeps you in the neighborhood.

What is All Videos?

The catalog and the stats board.
Every title, alphabetical. The same chart shows trending videos, all-time views, and the extra numbers for men who want to see how the work is moving.
Each row carries total views, views this week, and rank change — Up, Down, or Hold. The bottom of the page shows catalog mix: how much of the board is Explicit, Nudity, or Bateable.
Use it when you know the name and want the cut fast, or when you want to see what is running hot. Featured and newest still live on the home page. Harder cuts have their own playlist at Explicit Videos. Films start with BATE FUEL DX.

What do the labels mean?

So you do not cast the wrong cut into a room that is not yours.
NEW — posted in the last week
EXPLICIT — hard cock, cumming, or the footage platforms will not carry
NUDITY — bodies uncovered; not always the hardest cut
LYRICS — the words stay on screen or in the mix
BATEABLE / 💪⛽ — built to keep a man in the charge
COLLAB — made with another man
Official / MTV / Club Edit — the versions that can travel
Explicit / Raw / Club Explicit — the versions that stay here
Official and MTV cuts live next to the explicit ones on purpose. Same song. Different job. Different room.

Why isn’t everything explicit?

Because different rooms need different cuts, and because this site is built to stay up.
A club cannot run a raw bate video. A gooner does not want the neon-safe version. YouTube will take a video down for the same frame another man came here to see. So we make more than one.
Explicit is kept under a third of the catalog so the site can skip the expensive age-verification walls that kill independent work. The harder list is still here on Explicit Videos and the EXPLICIT category. It just is not the whole house.
B8/FEEL (Club Edit) is the plain example. A man asked for something he could show at a bar. We made that cut. Then B8/FEEL (Club Explicit). Then we kept the raw.

Can I cast this to a TV?

Yes. Chromecast and AirPlay both work.
Open the video on your phone. Use the page as the player and the phone as the remote. Send it to the television.
If the cast does not catch the first time, refresh the page and send it again. That hitch shows up often enough that we say it up front. After the refresh, the stream usually holds.
Full how-to: Casting and Streaming.
BATE FUEL Party and Explicit Videos are built to be left running in a room. BATE FUEL DX is the exhibition cut for bars, clubs, and theaters.
It is not as one-tap as YouTube TV yet. It is ours.

What are the playlists?

Long runs you can cast and leave alone.
BATE FUEL Party — house, basement, bar back room, or one man on a couch who does not want to pick the next track
Explicit Videos — harder cuts only
MASC Album Playlist — the sexual reawakening record in video order, top to bottom
MASC Classical — the art-film reading of MASC. Slower. More formal. Built for MASC Manifesto. Same album. Different temperature
Occult Music Videos — hidden gods, wayward spirits, initiation, erotic heat. The YWTBE layer. Designed to disturb
Category pages work the same way if you want one world: BATE FUEL, Brotherhood, MASC, Movies, Short Films, Vault, Bonus, YWTBE.

Is this free? Do I need an account?

Watching is free. Age gate at the door. That is it.
Comments require a BATE FUEL MEN membership. Register at Register and verify through BATE FUEL ACCESS. That is the BFM Community — the magazine, the conversation, and the brothers who already found the videos. Rules live on BFM Community Rules.
We are building single sign-on so members can comment, rate, and favorite without a second hoop. Better catalog search and vibe-keeping autoplay are next. None of that will sit in front of the player.

Why can’t I comment?


You must be a BATE FUEL MEN member.
The videos stay open. The conversation sits with the BFM Community — men who already walked through BATE FUEL ACCESS and got verified. That keeps the room male and adult.
BFM in the top right goes to the magazine. Start there.

What does Random do?

Jumps you to another cut.
Use it when you are done choosing. Some pages also show a fuel count — a small mark that the work is landing. Share sits next to it if you want to send a brother the exact page.

Is this pornography?

No. This is adult art.
Pornography is a product built to empty you out and send you to the next clip. We watch it. We are not precious about it. That is not what we make.
What we make is male erotica with a pulse. Sexuality sits in the center because that is where masculine creative force lives. The point is the state, not the money shot. That frame is spelled out on Ethos.
If you came here to get off, you can. If you came here to remember what it feels like to be a man who is not at war with himself, you can do that too.

Why do you use AI?

No studio was going to fund this.
AI lets us build the exact scenes and the exact charge without waiting for permission or a budget that does not exist for work this direct. We use it like a producer uses a room. The direction stays human. The taste stays ours.
Footage mixes real men with artist-directed AI. Patrick is on camera in some cuts. Collaborators are on camera in others. Virtual men were built because too few real models would stand in full, unashamed connection. We tried. We still try. The door is on Collaborations.
Read the AI Statement if you want the full position.

Why isn’t this on YouTube?

It was. Then the channel was terminated after the work went further and harder.
A working video site was up two days later. Some safer cuts still go out on public platforms. The real catalog is here.
Thank you, YouTube. The work got freer because of it.

Who Is This For?

Grown men.
Gay, straight, bi, unlabeled — the work is not a recruitment poster. It is about men, male bodies, male desire, and the brotherhood that becomes possible when shame is not running the room.
It is not for minors. It is not for people looking for a fight about politics. The BFM Community is male-only, no activism, no party line.
The audience for this work is not everyone. For the men who find it, it is enough.

Do you work with real men or only AI?

Both.
Collaborative work already in the catalog includes I WANNA BE YOUR TWINK, VICIOUS CYCLE, STROKE IT (Explicit), and MY SOBER FRIENDS. Patrick is on camera in LOVE, B8 (Explicit), and others.
We are looking for more men who will work. Actors, models, singers, producers, visual artists, and regular guys who want to stand in the center for a while. Explicit or tame is fine. Brotherhood and masculinity have to stay in the picture.
Unpaid. Credit — or anonymous, if that is what you want. Adults only. Documentation required.
Start on Collaborations, or Contact on BATE FUEL MEN.

How can I support this?

Watch. Stay with a video. Let it land. Share the pieces that hit. When you share this work, you take shame off another man.
Join the BFM Community on BATE FUEL MEN.
If you want to give directly: Cash App $CONCRETESHAMANS, or the shop at concreteshamans.com. BATE FUEL DX deluxe is there if you want the record in the house. Hosting, tools, editing, music, writing, new videos — it all goes back into the work. No middleman. No paywall if we can keep it that way.
The full list is on Support This Work.
The deepest support is to live it. Train. Do the inner work. Drop the shame. Connect with brothers in real life.

Can I use these videos in a bar, club, or theater?

BATE FUEL DX is the exhibition cut. BATE FUEL Party and the club edits exist for rooms.
If you want a digital screener, contact us. Match the version to the room. Do not run an explicit cut in a space that did not ask for one.

What about age verification and legal stuff?

This is adult work. You need to be of age.
The gate at the door is the simple version. Explicit stays under a third of the catalog so we can keep the house open without the verification walls that bury independent erotic art.

What happens next?

We keep making music, films, and pictures about maleness, masculinity, and the full range of men’s sexuality.
On the site: vibe-keeping autoplay, member sign-on for comment / rate / favorite, tighter search. The catalog grows. The purpose does not change.
Adult work. Made on purpose. For the brotherhood of all men.
