"Wanking" and "Gooning" have vastly different meanings, in their context and nuance.

Gooning is really about the visual stimulation, the content being viewed. You goon at or to something.

Wanking on the other hand (or with the same hand perhaps) is purely about the physical act of grabbing your cock and jerking it.

Besides that, there are more subtle differences. Gooning implies prolonged and leisurely, for example, while wanking does not.

You'd never say you had a "quick goon," but you could certainly say you had a "quick wank."

So don't worry, wanking isn't dying out any time soon.

EDIT: Added a handy reference table

Activity Type Visual Stimulation Duration Gender Neutral
Gooning Mental Required (Typically porn) Long Yes
Wanking Physical Optional Long OR Short No (Requires penis)

when you write your scientific paper about it, pls also include edging

How about hand jobs? Tit jobs? Fleshlights?

A handy reference, indeed.

The study of linguistics never ceases to fascinate me.

lol perfect caption delivery

I thought gooning was when one takes wanking to a professional level.

The word "gooning" being replaced to mean jerking it is doing irreparable harm to the bad guy union of goons.

I can't help feel the use of the word gooner to replace wanker is the result of a very long winded practical joke by Tottenham fans.

You Philistines need to learn nuance

A cheeky wank is worlds apart from a thorough goon

smh

Hmmmm, tough decision, while I like the word wanker, that wankers telling me to save it and if he's telling me to do something, then it must be wrong.

Fun fact: there's a dent in his forehead you can see reflected in studio lighting sometimes. Allegedly, that dent is from the time Jeremy Clarkson punched him.

Never mind gooning, I worry that the art of mooning is on the way out and will be lost.

If my a real wanker?
