controversial subjects with the facts can be tense

But we are a sub-science here to make things make sense

Today we are talking about gooning

It is a type of masturbation

That is sort of extremely popular online

There's some fascinating actual science articles about it

Definitely

I was gonna say PG-13

This is maybe rated R

Yeah, yeah, this is like rated R. Yeah, yeah.

You got to be over 18 for this stuff. Family turned it off. Mom and I turned it off vibes. Absolutely insane, but I guess we're not, we shouldn't judge. I mean, no, it's interesting. I mean, we always like to talk about how nothing is taboo here because we're just learning about science. but it is an interesting term because we did a podcast on edging a while back. And I'm going to touch on a little bit of that today too because there's like some crossover. And at the time, I had actually never heard the word goon. Yeah, we listened to our episode on edging and I bring up gooning and you're like, what? Is that a swear weird? Which is so weird because now in culture, at least, like, I hear people making that even as a joke.

Like, I'm gooning and you're like, it's like, what? Is that a swear weird? Which is so weird because now in culture, at least, like, I hear people making that even as a joke. Like, I'm go gooning for something, like to go do something. Like, people say this. So it's like a more internet culture has like become more pervasive in regular life. But maybe we should just start for those who have no idea what we're talking about. Okay. So gooning is a new kind of masturbation, self-pleasure.

It resembles edging, as in you repeatedly bring yourself close to the point of climax,

but you actively do not climax.

But gooning is more goal-oriented.

It's more communal.

There's something called a goon state, which is, sorry, I'm giggle,

giggle, which is a supposed like zone of total ego death and bliss, almost a meditative state that's attained when you masturbate for hours, potentially days at a time.

And there's, that's the craziest part. I was like, days. But I guess like, um, cool. You know, we're like, sex positive. What we're going to talk about today, like the benefits, the pitfalls, the risks and and those kind of things related to gooning. It's interesting. Oh my God. What? It was like, related to cooning. It's interesting. I was going to say it's interesting.

You said that it is a goal because my interpretation from like my reading and the

research is like edging is a more specific goal because you, it is associated more with

orgasm.
