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

Watching The Goonies on repeat every single day
Gooners never say die
That is not dead which can eternal goon
“Do the truffle shuffle” means something entirely different than we thought in the 80s
“one-eyed Willie” was right there
The little death.
:kelly:
But don’t you say “die” when you say “Goonies never say die”?
Goonies highly value the use/mention distinction.
Cranking your hog for somewhat longer than is typically considered socially acceptable, as a hobby.
it’s not a hobby, it isn’t productive.
Why does a hobby need to be productive? That idea reeks of capitalist grindset bullshit.
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.
same, it’s been a rough few days for my autistic ass lol
sorry
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
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
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.
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
Isnt the purpose of a hobby that it isnt productive necessarily, but brings one comfort and a relief from the world?
yes!
i’m taking the piss on the other thread
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.
“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.

how all sex involves treating people like objects while you smear blood and urine on them?
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.

I think for around half the population a wank is plenty productive.
oh it produces something alright
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’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.
goon (v):
- to masturbate
- to near orgasm while masturbating but delay climax. see edging
- to practice a sexual fetish in which one consumes internet pornography that portrays the viewer as a “porn addict” who cannot stop themselves. see hypno
#3 makes me think its sudden explosion in popular discourse is akin to the conservative panic over raceplay: taking a weird niche porn category and treating it like nonfiction so one can hold it up as proof of how “d-generate” society is.
I cannot emphasize enough that you are 100% correct and that some of the people assuming that there are large groups of people actually living out this niche fetish are on this website with us.
It would be interesting to see if like cuck/raceplay, this kink is highly disproportionately one sought out by conservatives. I imagine there’s some truly interesting psychosexual politics involved, but the masturbation/shame cycle has been a major influence in conservative politics for a very long time.
I actually think a lot of this stuff is best thought of through the lens of moral panic, in that the subject matter is almost arbitrary because it’s being used as a vehicle to express a deep-set anxiety about society. Another helpful connection here is how “sissy hypno” porn has been latched onto by anti-trans fascists as a demonstration of how the internet is “corrupting” children or whatever.
I’m sure right-wing spaces have had their own weird debates about it, but when I see people panicking about gooning in leftist spaces, I assume it comes from a sense of unease about the easy accessibility of pornography and how it might affect us. I have a much longer rant about how I think that is picking the wrong target to critique, but I should probably stop posting about gooning lol
The journalist cum (heh) podcaster Michael Hobbs did a bunch of reporting and investigation into moral panics. He reckons one of the key aspects to identify is what you don’t need evidence to believe.
E.g. lots of people “just know” phones are bad in the same way people a few hundred years ago “just knew” women reading books was bad. I think a lot of concern about pornography and masturbation is still tainted by religious moralism as actual evidence of harm is extremely sparse.
People look at trends in society they don’t like and attribute them to social values they don’t like. Actual investigation is often jawdroppingly difficult, and we should avoid sweeping generalisation or confusing cause and effect.
Like if it’s true that idk kids do use phone too much and it’s bad, is it phone that means kids use phone too much? Or would kids be doing some other thing that is maybe even worse (again if it is true that phone is bad) because of structural changes in society and culture.
This. We live in a whole unspoken belief system that our current society and culture are “removed”
masturbation/shame cycle has been a major influence in conservative politics for a very long time.
It can be generalized to sin-repentance cycle typical for Christianity.
IIRC, they were two of the three predominantly right-wing kinks found in a study with the third being uniform play.
I’m pretty sure that it has been looked into and it is.
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.
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

From what I gathered, “gooning” used to be a more niche sexual fetish in more gay spaces, where gay men would use poppers/other stimulants while self-pleasuring, thats where the weird grimace aspect comes from. Its now evolved into meaning self-pleasuring for a long time? Or just like being horned up in general? And having a porn addiction?
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.
It’s when you’re an Arsenal fan

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.
Nah, they banned homegrown pretty quick off. So all that sooner energy got spun off to 4chan
I thought ot was having multiple screen of porn playong at once and going on long sessions
I support Finkelstein’s position on gooning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CITvCkdE9wc
