What Is the "Gooning" Trend and Why Are Men Getting Addicted?

Gooning is an extreme form of prolonged masturbation where men stimulate themselves for hours in a trance-like state fueled by nonstop porn consumption and overstimulation.

This trend is spreading fast because it delivers an intense dopamine rush—similar to drugs or alcohol. The addictive part lies in delaying orgasm for as long as possible, pushing the brain to crave stronger and longer stimulation.

How gooning works

The core of gooning is edging: postponing ejaculation to maximize sexual tension. Many men use multiple screens, constantly switch between different porn videos, and fully focus on their arousal. After hours of this, they enter the so-called “goon state”—a mental condition where sexual sensation takes over, ego dissolves, and time perception disappears.

Unlike quick masturbation, gooning is ritualistic. The goal isn’t release but exploring deeper layers of pleasure. Some describe it as meditation or a spiritual experience where body and mind merge into pure lust.

The risks of gooning

  • Porn addiction: The brain adapts to extreme porn stimuli, making real-life sex feel dull.
  • Erectile dysfunction: Constant overstimulation desensitizes the nervous system, often leading to weaker erections during real sex.
  • Time loss and isolation: Spending 4–8 hours in masturbation sessions can damage relationships, lower productivity, and harm mental health.
  • Distorted self-image: Heavy focus on porn fantasies creates unrealistic sexual expectations.

The potential benefits (with strict control)

  • Self-exploration: Some men use gooning to discover their body and sexual preferences.
  • Stress relief: The trance-like state can temporarily reduce stress and mental tension.
  • Better orgasm control: By delaying ejaculation, men can increase awareness of their arousal and improve sexual stamina.
