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

i don't know and i've long been too afraid to ask

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

I support Finkelstein's position on gooning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CITvCkdE9wc

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

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.

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.

Think of the difference between wanking and gooning like the difference between someone who rides a bike casually and someone who rides a bike as a hobby. If you're really into riding bikes you get like the bike shorts, fancy helmet, shoes, lights, bells, fancy expensive bike, you ride you bike for hours not as a commute or to reach a destination but because you like bicycling. And then some people just have like a regular bike with no special outfits and accoutrement and maybe they just ride around the neighborhood for a little exercise. Gooning is like turning out the lights, multiple screens, lube, poppers, alcohol, weed, hour plus long sessions, multiple videos playing at once, hypnotic voice overs, all kinds of "extra" stuff. To put it bluntly if I'm horny and just want to finish and it takes like a couple minutes at most, that's not gooning. If I am locked up in my room for 2 hours getting crossfaded, flipping through dozens of videos, and edging a bunch of times, that's gooning.
