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

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

Gooning is to support London's Arsenal Football Club, whose supporters are known locally as gooners.

goon (v):

  1. to masturbate
  2. to near orgasm while masturbating but delay climax. see edging
  3. 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.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

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.

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 a slang word coined by Arsene Wenger to celebrate the 2003 invincibles season e.g. Thierry Henry is gooning to score 228 goals

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Cranking your hog for somewhat longer than is typically considered socially acceptable, as a hobby.

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

it's not a hobby, it isn't productive.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago (7 children)

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.

I think for around half the population a wank is plenty productive.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

Why does a hobby need to be productive? That idea reeks of capitalist grindset bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 hours ago (11 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

For longer? So it's edging? Or more often?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

So it's edging?

Pretty much, just with extra steps.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I was under the impression that holding off the orgasm wasn't as important in gooning, whereas in edging its the whole thing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

Real gooning lore.
