Sounds Like A Cult · The Cult of Gooning · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

Dude, there's so much porn on all of my social media feeds and I don't know why.

And it was definitely something that started happening after Elon bought Twitter.

And there's always the argument.

I feel like what normalizes this kind of thing is people saying that all of the content you consume is algorithmic.

But I think people forget that there are larger forces at play that are doing things to these algorithms.

Such as, I don't know, making the decision to make all your Twitter likes private so that way you can use the platform to your heart's content.

That's an Elon move right there.

So yeah, a few months ago I started seeing gooning pop up more and more.

And then recently I read an essay about Britney Spears at a conference and my co-panelist had written about gooning and infinite jest.

And he wrote about the infinite scroll of gooning and kind of the goon state that these gooners are hoping to achieve.

So we had a really lovely conversation about pop and parasociality and sex.

Lovely.

Yeah.

Gorgeous.

Yeah, for those of you using the internet for less nefarious purposes, if the word goon to you is a mystery beyond cheesy gangster movies, which was my original association of the word...

Don't fret, I'm here to help.

So, gooning is essentially a specific way to masturbate.

One that involves the practice of edging oneself, which is practice of bringing oneself almost, but not quite, to climax repeatedly.

That's only the first part of gooning, really the other core component is that this must be done while consuming just absolutely copious amounts of pornography, as much as you possibly can, whatever suits your fancy, shove it into your eye holes.

For gooners, or goonettes, the female equivalent, the act of masturbating and consuming porn is the turn on in itself.
