Proud Gooner
GOONING IS MORE than just masturbating, and different (though slightly related) to edging. For some, the goal is to push yourself to the height of sexual pleasure and enter a sort of blissful, trance-like “goon state.” The experience of that state is the point of gooning, rather than reaching climax.
Because gooning is more about the journey (experiencing pleasure) than the destination (achieving orgasm), it can be a way for many people to forge a deeper, more explorative relationship with their own bodies and to have masturbation be an intentional practice, says Merritt.
It can also help people, particularly men, forge more meaningful relationships with others. While masturbating tends to be a solo endeavor, gooning is very often done in community with other gooners.
Receiving those positive affirmations from others in the gooning community can help improve an individual gooner's self-confidence.
You most likely have all the tools you need to goon right now, if you really wanted to. But while you most likely have the essentials — your preferred genitalia or orifice, and a desire to goon — there are definitely a few other things you should have handy to help you along.
Lubricant: Among gooners, Albolene and Bator Balm are favorites for a session, but no matter what you use, you’ll most likely want some kind of lube to help you if you plan to stroke or use a sex toy; it’ll help reduce friction and lengthen the session.
Water: Due to its duration, gooning can take a lot of energy, so you’ll need to stay hydrated.
Food: You may not want to eat during a goon sesh, but you’ll most likely crave a snack or a meal afterwards.
Cock ring or ball ring: If you are gooning and have a cock or balls, using a cock ring or ball ring around them can help delay cumming and make the goon state last longer.
Lots of porn: Many gooners will take part in the practice while watching.
Friends, or a bating community: There are plenty of ways to find fellow gooners (and baters) online, including online bating communities such as BateWorld. A lot of gooners, as with many sexual fetishes, learn about their kink in community with other practitioners. Finding people who share your desire to goon can be helpful, whether in person or online. (Also, for some gooners, gooning involves a sort of mirroring of each other’s faces as part of entering the trance-like state.)
