Hey hey, naïve Pack, 

Given the flurry of messages we received about gooning, we decided it was time to look a little more closely at the subject and tell you its story... 

Focus... HERE WE GO!

Defining a practice on the rise

You may have come across it on a forum gold on social media: gooning is on everyone's lips. But behind this English term lies a very specific practice that shakes up the rules of solo pleasure. Between total letting go and a surge of desire, we explain everything about this unique sensory experience.

Why is gooning attracting so many fans?

Gooning is a prolonged masturbation practice that aims to reach an erotic "trance" state. Unlike a typical session where one seeks orgasm quickly, the gooner (the term used for practitioners) seeks to remain as long as possible on the edge of pleasure.

The idea is not just to delay the moment, but to deliberately lose yourself in your sensations until your brain disconnects from the rest of the world. This is what is known as the "goon state": a moment of total disconnection where only physical pleasure matters.

Gooning vs Edging: What's the difference?

The two are often confused, and yet the intention differs:

• Edging: This is a control technique. You build up pressure, stop just before orgasm (the "edge"), come back down, and start again. The aim is often to make the final orgasm more explosive.

• Gooning: This is a technique of surrender. If edging is an exercise in control, gooning is a quest for submersion. You're not necessarily trying to control the build-up, but to immerse yourself in a continuous flow of pleasure until you lose all sense of time.

Why such enthusiasm for this practice?

If gooning is attracting more and more curious souls, it's because it meets a need to slow down in a world that moves too fast. Here are its main advantages:

1. An intense sensory exploration: By staying in a state of high arousal for a long time, every area of the body becomes ultra-sensitive.

2. A mental letting go: The "goon state" acts as a form of erotic meditation. You empty your mind, forget about stress, and focus solely on what you feel.

3. A better knowledge of oneself: Practising gooning allows you to discover new erogenous zones and understand how your own pleasure evolves over time.

How to ease into gooning gently?

Want to give it a try? Here are a few pieces of advice for a successful session:

• Create a comfort bubble: set aside time (at least 30 to 60 minutes) so you won't be interrupted. Dimmed lighting, music gold complete silence: choose your own sanctuary.

• Choosing the right tools: gooning often requires a lot of lubrication to avoid irritation caused by the duration. Don't hesitate to bring out your favourite sex toys: air pulse clitoral stimulators gold textured masturbators are perfect for maintaining constant stimulation.

• Listen to yourself: there are no rules. If you reach orgasm, that's great. If you prefer to stay in this in-between for hours, that's fine too. The most important thing is to stay attuned to your desires and your comfort.

Gooning goes beyond a trend — it's an invitation to rediscover your body without performance pressure. Whether you're alone gold with a partner, what matters is giving yourself an enchanted interlude with pleasure as the only destination.
