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

    #3 makes me think its sudden explosion in popular discourse is akin to the conservative panic over raceplay: taking a weird niche porn category and treating it like nonfiction so one can hold it up as proof of how “d-generate” society is.

      It would be interesting to see if like cuck/raceplay, this kink is highly disproportionately one sought out by conservatives. I imagine there’s some truly interesting psychosexual politics involved, but the masturbation/shame cycle has been a major influence in conservative politics for a very long time.
