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

Originally it referred to the transition state between edging and actually cumming (cooming) where it feels so good youre "gone" (where the name comes from)

Now it means high levels of masturbation

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

read theory https://gooncultist.substack.com/p/jerk-off-in-a-language-they-can't

I predicted that when the word “gooning” goes mainstream most people will think it just means “jerking off” and I still think this is the most likely outcome. Legibility confers high-level recognition but not empathy.
