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

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.

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.
