Gooning is an act wherein porn addicts masturbate and edge for hours on end, yet do not achieve orgasm (nor do they want to) for weeks or months .

As the man keeps edging and thus keeps experiencing intense pleasure, he enters a state of trance where his mind intimately merges with his cock : the gooning state, where he and his dick become one. To be even more accurate, when the gooning state is achieved, the man's body becomes for all intents and purposes an appendage to his erection.
