It may sound nice to be hyper sensitive and capable of multiple orgasms, but everything becomes a little more grey and less exciting as well as requiring more dopamine to feel good.

    As someone who has, unironically, been gooning since before it got so popular (something I am of course very proud of) it's been interesting to see how things like this can spread so rapidly. It's like I could see in real-time how this almost "mind-virus" went from some weird niche activity some people do, to a meme that at least on the internet a lot of people seem to know about at this point.
    I actually do appreciate this video though, as one of the first pieces of content I've seen that talk about the topic in a relatively serious manner, because it's interesting and I think it's good to have some understanding of how things actually work.
    With that being said, while I think the video does a good job talking about the basics of gooning, as someone who has a shameful amount of experience with this, I'd like to add some "insider info" so to speak. Disclaimer: This might be a bit too explicit for some people so proceed with caution. And it's also not my intention to shame anyone. I don't think anyone benefits from shaming. I'd just like to talk about this stuff openly.
    Of course I can't speak for other people, but when it comes to my sexuality and in particular things like gooning, I feel like there is a certain sense of "self-destruction" or "self-sabotage" involved. I think a lot of people know that things like gooning and excessive porn consumption can have negative effects on your mind, body and life in general and that is exactly the reason or one of the reasons they do it. Some people not only WANT to get addicted, but actually fetishize this addiction and so it creates this self-feeding cycle.
    To take things even further, there are already a lot of communities on for example Reddit, where people actually encourage each other to "get worse" and feed each other's addictions. "Gooning encouragement" is actually a category of porn now. There is a subreddit for people who smoke weed while gooning. One of the most interesting things to me though, is a subreddit called r/pornrelapsed, because not only do people here encourage each other's addictions and "relapsing", but people actually seem to post on there pretending like they want to quit, just so other people can be like "don't quit, stay addicted!". It's almost like a sexual roleplay, like "Nooooo, please don't handcuff me, officer!", while obviously wanting to be handcuffed.
    Honestly it's a whole rabbit hole that I could talk about for a while. I think it's kind of fascinating, even if perhaps a bit sad or dystopian. It feels like there's a big part of the internet that is almost like a black hole of hedonism, even just in terms of sexual content, let alone in general. Our brains really aren't meant to deal with this stuff, yet we're doing it to ourselves and to each other, because at the end of the day we're still just fancy monkeys in a sense.
    Anyway, thanks for everything you do Dr. K (and your team of course). The amount of good you're doing for the world right now can't be understated. I'd almost go as far as to say you deserve some noble prize, no kidding.
    Take care yall.

      You mentioned in your comment that there is this phenomenon called "gooning," and that it has become so popular that now there's a fetishization of the act, which would be existentially against the very nature of gooning. Additionally, a fetish has been created around the act of relapsing into gooning. This is fascinating because there's a part of Freudian psychoanalysis that talks about "fetishization." As a layperson, I can't explain this in detail, but based on your observation, it seems like you have identified this phenomenon that some psychoanalysts describe as "fetishization."
      I found it fascinating that you mentioned this because it essentially represents a "modern fetish" that can only exist today due to the internet and all the technology around us. But 100 years ago, those studying the human mind were already able to see this process occurring independently of the internet and technology.

    While this video is great, as it's the first scientific breakdown of the subject the internet has really seen, I feel it didn't even scratch the surface of what gooning really is. I think it completely overlooked the aspect of addiction and the role that it plays. Gooning is basically the depths of how far extreme porn addiction can go. If you were to look into any of the gooning communities where p*rn is being shared, you would see that the main driving force is the fetishization of p*rn addiction. These people get off on the idea of pushing each other deeper into the addiction and will make p*rn captions encouraging each other to be proud of their addiction and it makes gooning a very dangerous "self-harm" feedback loop. It's not like these people want to be doing it, they just can't help themselves and the constant re-enforcement of other people trying to push them deeper doesn't help either. All this to say, that this isn't a problem of people being uneducated on the dangers of gooning, like it's just an unhealthy habit or something; these people know what they're doing. This is a problem of extreme porn addiction that is increasingly leaching onto young men at a rate that we haven't seen before and the culture around it making it almost impossible to escape. I hope you see this Dr. K even though that is unlikely, or at least some commenters see it who can then prompt discussion.

      I Agree. The discord servers can be quite toxic and addicting in a dangerous way. However it is fun to responsibly play with. The exhibitionism combined with crossdressing in public discord cam channels is really fun and min-maxes the pleasure like Dr. K says. I treat it like alcohol. Sometimes i can enjoy a bottle by myself if i have earned it, and sometimes i can take some hours for a gooning sesh. And just like i pay some more money when i treat myself to some good whiskey, i got myself some fun toys and discovered what i like and scratches my itch. I've read reviews, tried different things, maybe not whiskey but gin, and swap exhibitionism with chastity. Change it up and enjoy it from time to time.
      Its a hobby that can turn into an addiction, or it can be something nice to enjoy and learn more about. I recently started simracing, and boy thats a hobby that can cost a lot of time and money quickly, but is soo much fun. Its less addictive, but i still have to treat it responsibly.
      More research and understanding is always better! Explore the impact and good ways to describe it and recognize the danger.

    As a recovering addict/gooner; I cannot stress how dangerous this activity is and it is the literal manifestation of loneliness and trauma. It’s a miracle the fact that I’m still alive today when I should be dead from a drug overdose.
    Everything Dr K has said here is true and relatable. Please go get therapy, find a hobby that gives you purpose over porn, stay close to the people that love you and be patient in finding love and be your damn best self. 1 month in and I feel incredible (not perfect). The loneliness can get you but you just have to sit with it instead of using an unhealthy coping mechanism.
    No Fap is bullshit, climax when you need to but just delete all the porn. I don’t have a GF yet but dating is a trash dump anyway.
    I swear to god it’s worth it. Just fucking do it. I love you, we all love you ❤❤❤

      Important part to remember is that studies of that time really struggled with causation and effect. The "OG" onanists of that time resorted to masturbatory activities because they were deformed, had severe mental issues and were heavily undesirable by the society (which is honestly a feat, considering how much easier and integral it was to start a relationship back then).
      What we have now is considerably different when you look past the derogatory caricature of an "incel/gooner", because the society changed so much that it's super easy to fall in through the cracks and have bad experiences that leave you completely broken by the age of 25, regardless of your physiology.

    Thanks for talking about this all jokes aside. With people already struggling with porn addictions, this whole gooning thing, while being a silly meme, is also a window into a group of people who are stuck in that cycle of abusing pornography despite the shame and loneliness that comes with using it compulsively. It can become a toxic cycle of almost relishing in rotting your brain despite the real consequences that come from it.

      1. Surface level thinkers say that s*x is not bad since it directly serves an evolutionary purpose, but mastn is because it does not, and is "unnatural". Well, if is is possible, it is natural, and serves an indirect purpose. This is why we have dreams, and have played games since pre historic times.
      2. Gooning is wrong, just like any extreme quantities which the system is not built to handle is wrong. But still, how do we know if prehistoric ancestors did this or not ?
      3. From an economic sense, it is definitely stupid, since fulfilment is supposed to be a function of real attainment.
      In the future, humans should either artifically adapt their bodies to these things like gooning, or remove the s*x function altogether. Now we can do IVF, and s*x is just a distraction in developed economies.
      Until then, we just have to lust after victory.

    I can see the concern about people using edging as an excuse to avoid pursuing actual relationships, but that is a very specific scenario. It's like saying everyone who drinks alcohol will become addicted to it, which is not the case. Edging has always been around, it's just that it's getting more attention these days. But here's an alternative perspective for you to consider: I am someone who very much wants a partner and that sexual intimacy with another person. For various reasons I have not been able to gain this in my life. Currently I feel it's mostly due to not having met the right person. But in the meantime, is it not still important to satisfy my needs in as effective a way as possible? That seems healthy to me. As long as I still understand that the experience with a partner vs solo play is very different and important and worth pursuing, and isn't something I want to give up on, I don't see the problem with satisfying myself to the best of my ability in the meantime. Edging can be incredibly pleasurable and relaxing, and when you live with insane levels of stress and anxiety, that is a great means to help relax and decompress. I feel maybe you are a little biased because of not being very familiar with the activity yourself? Or perhaps personally not seeing the value or point of it, combined with perhaps a little hesitation or fear of it due to it being an unknown to you. Or if not unknown then simply not something you're super educated on.
    I don't mean that in an insulting way, I'm just making a suggestion/observation.

I miss being with a companion or a so-called friend to experience that natural desire to achieve maximum pleasure we all desire! if not careful and stay mindful of what we're doing to our minds and depriving our bodies of the natural state of "real" pleasure, we will do more harm to ourselves than any kind of pleasure could even be achieved. so, I would like to thank you for posting this content and helping me see what I've been doing to myself just to achieve a better pleasure. what happened to doing things or achieving anything naturally, it's so easy to get carried away and think that hey, let's try this or that to see if we can do it better! but that is what we're here to do, us humans, right? that's our goal in life, right? we're never just satisfied with the same ole, same ole crap, let's try to find a better way, and then what do you get, either a better orgasm, or a bigger disappointment! it all depends on you and let's hope for the best!

    The core problem with the theory that "coping mechanisms are bad because they remove the need to depend on others" is that we've made ourselves a society where no one wants to be depended upon. We're expected to develop total independency before we even dare to try making friends, and those who don't, who seek relationships without being independent, are called manchildren or golddiggers or parasitic or promiscuous. But... the more independent you are, the less you desire relationships, and people hate it when you don't desire relationships - they think you're aloof, they can't help but perceive your independence as a commentary upon their dependence, and so we end up with therapists who come to the table with the default assumption that people need to be made more dependent to help them fit in better with everyone else, even though being dependent harms your chances of having successful relationships.

      Idk man maybe I've just had different experiences than you but I think you're being a bit hyperbolic. Most people these days are much more accepting of the idea that we need to rely on others, and people who are labeled manchildren/gold diggers/etc. are usually labelled so more due to their lifestyle being seen as being excessively dependent or parasitic than anything else (whether this is a fair evaluation probably depends on a case by case basis). A guy in his mid 20's who lives with his parents but has a job and helps pay for expenses probably isn't going to be seen as a manchild by most people. A guy in his mid 20's who doesn't have a job, relies on his parents to take care of him while giving nothing in return, and who spends all day getting high and playing video games, probably would be seen as a manchild.

      Yo I got you fam. Just remember that satisfaction is empty. If you only pursue satisfaction, you get nothing.
      Take the tantric route, since you love your vice so much. Reward yourself with it. You think it's good now, wait until it's a reward for accomplishing something truly meaningful in your life. THAT feels GOOD. If you get addicted to that, there's nowhere you can't lead yourself with that carrot, you feel? Addiction is nothing to be ashamed of, it's merely a disease, and it is 100% something you can beat (pun kinda intended). In a way, people are stupid not to lie in bed all day watching UA-cam and porn; it's literally fucking miraculous, it's intoxicating. You shouldn't avoid these things cuz they're BAD, you literally need to avoid them because they're AWESOME. Make that awesomeness work FOR you instead of AGAINST you.
      Figure out what you truly value in life, you already know that it's more than just getting satisfaction which slips through your fingers the moment you put your vice aside. Ironically mere satisfaction is naturally the least satisfying thing. What you really want is FULFILLMENT. So make your addiction fulfilling, then it'll be even better. "I need to wake up early, get sunlight immediately, eat well, meditate, bust my ass on a workout" etc etc (whatever you can negotiate with yourself), and my reward is to fucking let loose. Eventually, if you keep following that formula, the fulfillment you are getting out of life will *simply outcompete* the temporary satisfaction of empty pleasure, and your addiction will take care of itself.
      Be encouraged! Pleasure is a fantastic part of life, but if you're really going to minmax it, you need the ingredients of a fulfilling life to go with it. Otherwise you're just drinking pure sugar, which just makes you sick and weak.
      Hopefully this helps bro, I believe in you, you got this for sure, stay encouraged. And frankly, don't worry about it, that's a waste of energy and turns toxic quickly. Instead, just decide what you truly want, and then work from where you are, and eventually you will find yourself beginning to align your practice of living closer with your own deeply-held values. No hedonistic satisfaction can compete with that kind of fulfillment, trust.

      I honestly wonder how much of an effect infant circumcision has on this. Masturbation is natural, but if you have been desensitized and require a death grip because your glans has been keratinized and because you lack that key piece of lubricative skin, then it surely follows that you will have to adjust to it? It's already pretty well documented that circumcised men have to thrust harder during intercourse.
