What is gooning?

Gooning is long-session edging: staying right at the edge for so long that arousal becomes a deep, absorbed, almost trance-like state. The term "gooner" comes from that state. Sessions often last hours, and for many men the point isn't the orgasm at the end at all, but how long they can stay in that headspace.

Gooning and edging

All gooning is edging, but not all edging is gooning. A normal edging session builds toward a stronger finish. Gooning stretches the middle until the middle is the whole experience. Many gooners finish without release, which takes it into orgasm denial territory.

Gooning with other men

Gooning started as a solo practice, but plenty of men do it together: in the same room, on video, or in group chats where men edge and egg each other on. Shared sessions, sometimes called goon sessions, are a big part of how gay and bi men into edging connect online. If you join one, agree on the basics first: what's okay to share, whether camera is on or off, and that anything shared stays private.

Keeping it healthy

Gooning is about losing yourself for a while, and that's fine. A few habits keep it that way:

• Drink water and take breaks. Long sessions are more physically tiring than they feel.
• Look after your skin. Use plenty of lube and stop if you're sore.
• Notice if it's crowding things out. If gooning starts getting in the way of sleep, work or seeing people, or you can't cut back when you want to, that's worth taking seriously, and talking to a doctor or counsellor about.

Common questions

Is gooning the same as edging? It's a form of edging, done for much longer and with the headspace as the goal.

Do you have to watch porn to goon? No. Many gooners use porn; others edge to fantasy, to a partner's instructions, or with other men on video.
