What is goon?

Gooning is a slang term, primarily used online, to describe a state of sexual arousal and intense focus on pornography, often to the exclusion of other activities. It's characterized by prolonged viewing, often with the intention of achieving a prolonged and intense orgasm or edge without actually reaching climax, a practice sometimes referred to as "edgeplay". The term carries a somewhat negative connotation, suggesting a loss of control or a prioritization of immediate gratification over other responsibilities.

Some sources also mention a specific type of pornography sometimes referred to as "goon porn," characterized by its focus on repetitive and often degrading content, intended to induce a trance-like state. The term is closely associated with online communities dedicated to the discussion and sharing of pornography. It can also refer to someone who engages in prolonged edging sessions and is highly aroused.

The usage and interpretation of the word can vary depending on the specific online community and context. It's important to note the potentially problematic aspects associated with the term, including potential links to addiction and the objectification of individuals in pornographic content. The term is generally not used in polite or professional conversation.
