      Gooning is their word for masturbation, but most kids that use that word don’t know what it means.

        I made a helpful table

        Activity Type Visual Stimulation Duration
        Gooning Mental Required (Typically porn) Long
        Masturbating Physical Optional Long OR Short

          Oh. I didn’t know that they were different. What does the mental activity type mean?

            Gooning is a more specific subtype of masturbation.

            Masturbating is the act of physically stimulating one’s happy parts, solo. It may involve porn, or it may just depend purely on the physical sensation to lead to orgasm.

            Gooning has a much closer association with visual stimulation because one would generally goon at something or to something. It also has a strong implication that it usually lasts for a long while; that the point of gooning is to stretch out the pleasure as much as possible and to push away all thoughts until you are nothing but a drooling mess of ecstacy.

            So it really is quite different.

              until you are nothing but a drooling mess of ecstacy.

              that sounds sorta enjoyable, but finishing is way better. Who just wants to feel kinda good when you can feel super good when you finish? They are mental. I like looking at revealing photos of people without masturbating, or trying to masturbate, but I don’t know what that’s called. Usually furry porn, or reading a porn scene, smut, stuff like that. I don’t usually masturbate to something, but once in a while I do go on the hub.
