is it just wanking? If so, why are people talking about it
Edit - turns out that yes, it is just wanking lol
Edit Edit - honestly, I find it strange that so many of these things have special words. ‘edging’ , ‘creampie’ , and now ‘gooning’. These are all very mundane activities, lads
it’s not a hobby, it isn’t productive.
Why does a hobby need to be productive? That idea reeks of capitalist grindset bullshit.
i’m taking the piss on the other thread
Isnt the purpose of a hobby that it isnt productive necessarily, but brings one comfort and a relief from the world?
yes!
they’re referencing the other struggle session that happened yesterday
Threads like those always make me second-guess what sorts of things someone on this site might say in complete earnest.
sorry
same, it’s been a rough few days for my autistic ass lol
I was wondering if the stuff I made up happened to be true or was just being repeated.
what stuff you made up?
Distinctions between hobbies play and leisure. It was useful for the thread and it seems it’s breached containment
oh yea, def some people arguing that. i checked out early
I missed it. I am sad to have missed a good struggle session. Did we get a highlight reel?
i was somehow in both of them, i usually miss them
the person who made the “gaming isn’t a real hobby” one got banned and then the other one i didn’t look into further because it was mostly aphobia
oh the sex positivity one? yeah allos should be less puritan but we also need to not put upon our ace and/or aro comrades
and
keeping out chasers is an unqualified good.
That gaming one is tough because gaming isn’t a hobby but arguing about them online is so we fell into the trap.
I am saddened that a good wholesome conversation about gooning was cheapened in that way.
ill never get my wholesome gooning discussion now
oh it produces something alright
Was that the now deleted comment chain about how all sex involves treating people like objects while you smear blood and urine on them?
That was an interesting message to see in the inbox.
same
What in the dark web fetish site is this?
Guilty, guilty, I’m strawmanning.
But they called me a psychopath for saying that sex as a hobby should be no more controversial than carpentry. Apparently all sex is about objectification, involves blood and urine, carries a risk of children which then subjects them to the cycle of blood and piss ( so much wrong there), and isn’t productive.
It was very unusual, I think they were just having A Day
Oh no I wasnt accussing you of strawmanning in the first place! I was just perplexed. The whole analogy that person made, is still certainly something, though.
I was though D: since the Kremlin fired me I have pivoted from state operator to lib wrecker.
“Everything I know about sex, I learned from abstinence-only Christian fundamentalists”
Me (to my wife): I love you so much, if this moment stretched out forever it still wouldn’t be enough time in your arms.

I think for around half the population a wank is plenty productive.
