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 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 ❤❤❤

    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.

    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.

      Important part to remember is that studies of that time really struggled with causation and effect.

      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.

      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.

She said she is not looking for that kind of relationship right now, She wasn't young! Was like 35!

      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 RUclips 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.

    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.

      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.

    Thanks for your take on this and I don't see this as a "weird" video at all. I'm not worried at all about the consequences of "gooning". Edging has been a thing for ages. Masturbation has been a thing for ages. Most humans have a desire to connect with other humans, and no form of masturbation is going to properly fill that desire.
    Some people may spend a large amount of time on "gooning" just like some people spend a large amount of time on video games.
    As I have aged, I have discovered an appreciation for imaginative artwork and storytelling in a good video game that is outside of what I experience in my daily life. Perhaps "gooning" can offer some people some novel pleasure, but I am not the least bit worried that young men and women are suddenly going to lose interest in connecting with one another because masturbation feels good.

    • @lp4514
      @lp4514 2 месяца назад +5

      It seems like even though most people at this point aren't religious anymore some religious ideas like "masturbation is bad" are still stuck in parts of our society (which is ironic because the bible literally doesn't even have one line where it talks about masturbating being bad) so it's fine if you do it quickly to get it over with but don't dare spend any more time than necessary on it to enjoy it more. But as you said objectively there's literally no difference between watching porn for 2 hours or playing a video game for 2 hours or watching a movie/show for 2 hours but for some reason porn is this disgusting dirty thing that's a waste of time and the other things are accepted.

      @@vivianriver6450 In my opinion it depends entirely on the individual, for some people it has a negative impact and for others it doesn't. At least that has been my own experience, I used to watch porn for probably 15 years, most of that time daily and sometimes for many hours (and it was never an addiction, I could at any point decide to not do it for many days or weeks) and it never had any negative impact at all, 2 hours of porn felt exactly the same as 2 hours of gaming, I would say it was actually healthier because I felt was more relaxed the rest of the day. Never felt overstimulated or tired, didn't affect the rest of my life at all.
      I stopped watching it a while ago (for "spiritual" reasons and to have more time for other things) and also now that I'm not doing it I don't feel any different or better compared to when I did watch it.

      As a few other comments have metioned, this goes much deeper, and gets much darker. Fetishizing the addiction, intentionally making it worse and getting pleasure from it is a big part of gooning. It's sort of a self harm behavior, that gives you intense pleasure while doing it. When you are depressed, hate yourself, this is a very dangerous combination. You get to feel pleasure for a few hours, and you also scratch the self harm itch.

      Sorry, but I think you miss the point. Masturbation isn't bad, the stimulus used is bad. Most pornography is fake, mechanic and demeaning to women. I read somewhere that people who go down that rabbit hole far enough start to believe that women should behave like that in the bedroom. Also, nothing "normal" arouses you anymore because your brain is conditioned to superstimulus. It's definitely worse than a video game or a movie.
