Amazon sell practically anything you care to name these days, including Sagami 0.01s. They're very expensive, but they're the thinnest non-latex condom on the market and extremely reliable.

If you're worried about bootlegs entering the Amazon supply stream (which, given the consequences of product failure, extra diligence seems reasonable) lots of independent sex stores have online shops and there are bulk suppliers with "regular person" quantities available... or get the 1,000 pack and try to use them all before the expiration date, I'm not your loving boss the boss of your loving.

I’m probably opening myself to a lot of ridicule with this, but I’m just going to go ahead with it anyway: this is more for people in a longer term relationship. What does spontaneity look like for you in your sex life? What does communication about your wants and needs in the moment look like? My wife and I are having trouble squaring away our different approaches to these things and I just wanted to see what others thought.

It’s not a very clear question, I know, and I’m sorry. I’m having trouble putting my exact thoughts into words right now.

Firstly, I wanna say that ridiculing someone for attempting to better their communication sounds like a loving asinine thing to do - if more people got better at communicating, I think there'd be a lot more happy people.

My experience with trying to become more communicative is that it's hard at first, but that it gets easier; I suppose that's obvious, but I still think it merits saying - because nobody starts out being a good communicator, and we all have to learn somehow.

As others have rightly said, it comes down to just talking about things - but that involves a level of trust in your partner that you don't feel you'll be judged for whatever you're bringing up.
Something that can help in that context is that you both agree to sit down and not judge each other (ie. you both assure each other that you won't judge your partner, using your own words); you can call it whatever you want, but it's effectively creating a safe space.

Jacking it to porn (derogatory)

There's a subtext of you are becoming a porn addict and wasting your life. I *think* it started on 4chan; it certainly vibes with chan's undercurrents of self-hate and hypocritical conservatism

There's an element of sexual humiliation to it as well; it's cuckold porn for people who cannot picture themselves having a partner to be cuckolded by.

Urban Dictionary suggests there's an edging/meditative component, idk

Yeah, that's exactly right - it's just edging, but as a solo activity instead of having one or more dominant partner(s) being in control.
I'm not sure where the humiliation comes in, unless it comes from talking about it in "public" and hoping to be made fun of for it, but that's almost a separate fetish since it's a thing lots of foot fetishists engage in.

Etymologically, goon is also used by Arsenal football fans, so it's not even like we have any kind of exclusive right to it since they used it before SA ever existed.

It also draws from the historical meaning of the term as referring to an idiot or stooge, somebody who has been stupefied into the state of a slackjawed, empty-headed goon.

Interpretation/definition 1:
Imagine a 19th century pejorative caricature of an opium addict wiling away his vital years and his money in a musty den in the company of other degenerates, but now replace opium with pornography and online sex work

gooners, in this context, are guys who are so addicted and numb to porn that they spend hours every night emptily jacking off with no resolution. They’ve made jacking off into their hobby—they live to jack and they jack to live. If they climax, they simply wait a few minutes and start jacking again. They have nothing better to do. Where a normal person might quickly rub one out to satisfy an urge or destress and then go on to do something else, jacking off is the gooner’s main event.

If they’re online they have porn on in some visible window, at all hours. If they aren’t actively jerking off then they are thinking about/looking forward to/planning it.

In lieu of a girlfriend or boyfriend, they might become taken with one or various online content creators and spend a bunch of time and money on them.

TLDR: pathetic sex addicts who are always jacking off or thinking about jacking off

interpretation/definition 2:
gooning, in this context, is like a kink/practice engaged in/(un)ironically referenced by certain communities of men online. It’s largely built off of the aforementioned idea of being rendered mindless and emptyheaded by too much jacking, and there is also often some sort of BDSM and/or self-shame/self-pride thing going on (“only people who gently caress are allowed to cum”, etc).

The “goon state” in this case is brought on not by an addiction or numbness to porn, etc, but by the gooner’s inability to climax and/or its forbiddenness.

It’s very similar to the BDSM concepts of “subspace”, orgasm torture/denial, etc. and also to stuff like sissy/cuck play and the stuff that dudes who wear chastity cages are into. The gooner is kept in a state of purported or exaggerated mental stupor and incoherence through extreme edging and blueballs.

Gooners in this context will post about challenging one another, gooning with friends (there’s a big overlap with the gay hookup and mutual masturbation scene. If you’re on Grindr you’ve probably seen some dude looking “to goon with buddies” or w/e), gooning as paypigging or tribute for online dommes/etc, gooning and humiliation play, and so forth.

This is the most intense and in depth explanation of gooning I've ever seen, thank you very much. I can't really say I understand the desire to do it, but at least I now know what it is.

My impression has been that the positive description of gooning is essentially turning masturbating into a serious hobby with the time investment that that implies.

Yeah, I think "gooning" is just the practice of delaying orgasm and gratification to increase the intensity of release, which is a fairly common practice even in regular intercourse and what not. But I guess in this case it's taken to an extreme where it lasts hours or something. Not sure why it's called "gooning"

Although goons are frequently edgelords, I don't think that gooning and edging are the same thing.

Gooning lies within the domain of edging. While you can edge but not goon, you cannot goon without edging.

The way I understood it spending all day glazing yourself in a dark basement is gooning regardless of whether edging is involved.
