  	Activity Type	Visual Stimulation	Duration
  Gooning	Mental	Required (Typically porn)	Long
  Masturbating	Physical	Optional	Long OR Short

    who said gooning requires visual stimulation? I gotta a too good of a visual imagination capability, sometimes it haunts me

    Oh. I didn’t know that they were different. What does the mental activity type mean?

      Gooning is a more specific subtype of masturbation.

      Masturbating is the act of physically stimulating one’s happy parts, solo. It may involve porn, or it may just depend purely on the physical sensation to lead to orgasm.

      Gooning has a much closer association with visual stimulation because one would generally goon at something or to something. It also has a strong implication that it usually lasts for a long while; that the point of gooning is to stretch out the pleasure as much as possible and to push away all thoughts until you are nothing but a drooling mess of ecstacy.

      So it really is quite different.

      If young people have a tendency to always say “gooning” for any kind of masturbation (which I think is probably true) then that’s likely because:

      1. It’s a generational neologism and people like owning and using words that belong to their age group
      2. It sounds less formal and more fun
      3. A lot of the masturbation that young people are doing probably is actually gooning anyway, because that’s just what happens when you have an unlimited and infinitely varied supply of free Internet porn

        until you are nothing but a drooling mess of ecstacy.

        that sounds sorta enjoyable, but finishing is way better. Who just wants to feel kinda good when you can feel super good when you finish? They are mental. I like looking at revealing photos of people without masturbating, or trying to masturbate, but I don’t know what that’s called. Usually furry porn, or reading a porn scene, smut, stuff like that. I don’t usually masturbate to something, but once in a while I do go on the hub.
