is it just wanking? If so, why are people talking about it
Edit - turns out that yes, it is just wanking lol
Edit Edit - honestly, I find it strange that so many of these things have special words. ‘edging’ , ‘creampie’ , and now ‘gooning’. These are all very mundane activities, lads
my 2 cents: most people are using it as a replacement for the word “pervert”. it’s why everyone calls those gamers who whine about how the woke left is forcing unattractive women into their video games gooners, i think in the past people would have just called them perverts

my understanding is gooning is when you’re jorkin it but the purpose is to just lose yourself in the pleasure of the jork for as long as you can, but that’s only my understanding through the literature ive been presented on the subject
it’s when there are stairs in your house
or aren’t stairs in your house
I think aren’t? and that way, you’re protected
”Gooncave” really has a different meaning now, huh.
Or I guess it really doesn’t if you think about it.

i don’t know and i’ve long been too afraid to ask
I support Finkelstein’s position on gooning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CITvCkdE9wc
It’s masturbation in quantities that people know full well is unhealthy but has been renamed to make it an identity and a point of pride.
This can be anything between those that spend 2-3 hours masturbating per day to those that masturbate for 48 hours straight non stop.
My personal belief is that it was intentionally amplified by marketers in the porn industry to bring it to mainstream in order to have this group of people grow as they’re the vanguard of porn culture. Now rather than identify negatively with what they do they identify as gooners proudly.
The mainstreaming of the word has flattened its meaning into any act of masturbation being a goon session.
Originally it referred to the transition state between edging and actually cumming (cooming) where it feels so good youre “gone” (where the name comes from)
Now it means high levels of masturbation
Gooning I think isn’t real. However the goon mindset is real. All the guys who refuse to play a game without anime tiddies are that. Just soaking their brains in low level dopamine constantly through waifu media. This is better than other drugs but this is still just self medication to treat the alienation one suffers under capitlaism
Cranking your hog for somewhat longer than is typically considered socially acceptable, as a hobby.
it’s not a hobby, it isn’t productive.
oh it produces something alright
Why does a hobby need to be productive? That idea reeks of capitalist grindset bullshit.
i’m taking the piss on the other thread
Isnt the purpose of a hobby that it isnt productive necessarily, but brings one comfort and a relief from the world?
yes!
they’re referencing the other struggle session that happened yesterday
Threads like those always make me second-guess what sorts of things someone on this site might say in complete earnest.
sorry
same, it’s been a rough few days for my autistic ass lol
I was wondering if the stuff I made up happened to be true or was just being repeated.
what stuff you made up?
Distinctions between hobbies play and leisure. It was useful for the thread and it seems it’s breached containment
oh yea, def some people arguing that. i checked out early
I missed it. I am sad to have missed a good struggle session. Did we get a highlight reel?
i was somehow in both of them, i usually miss them
the person who made the “gaming isn’t a real hobby” one got banned and then the other one i didn’t look into further because it was mostly aphobia
oh the sex positivity one? yeah allos should be less puritan but we also need to not put upon our ace and/or aro comrades
and
keeping out chasers is an unqualified good.
That gaming one is tough because gaming isn’t a hobby but arguing about them online is so we fell into the trap.
I am saddened that a good wholesome conversation about gooning was cheapened in that way.
ill never get my wholesome gooning discussion now
it isn’t productive.
it better not be.
Was that the now deleted comment chain about how all sex involves treating people like objects while you smear blood and urine on them?
That was an interesting message to see in the inbox.

What in the dark web fetish site is this?
Guilty, guilty, I’m strawmanning.
But they called me a psychopath for saying that sex as a hobby should be no more controversial than carpentry. Apparently all sex is about objectification, involves blood and urine, carries a risk of children which then subjects them to the cycle of blood and piss ( so much wrong there), and isn’t productive.
It was very unusual, I think they were just having A Day
Oh no I wasnt accussing you of strawmanning in the first place! I was just perplexed. The whole analogy that person made, is still certainly something, though.
I was though D: since the Kremlin fired me I have pivoted from state operator to lib wrecker.
“Everything I know about sex, I learned from abstinence-only Christian fundamentalists”
Me (to my wife): I love you so much, if this moment stretched out forever it still wouldn’t be enough time in your arms.

I think for around half the population a wank is plenty productive.
I’ve just found out how much better a wank is if you do it slow, but not excessively so, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
For longer? So it’s edging? Or more often?
So it’s edging?
Pretty much, just with extra steps.
I was under the impression that holding off the orgasm wasn’t as important in gooning, whereas in edging its the whole thing.
Real gooning lore.
smh. kids these days gotta reinvent everything.

I predicted that when the word “gooning” goes mainstream most people will think it just means “jerking off” and I still think this is the most likely outcome. Legibility confers high-level recognition but not empathy.

Gooners never say die
That is not dead which can eternal goon
If the Vice article is to be believed the committed gooners try and fill their field of vision with screens playing porn while they crank their hogs for hours.
