What's wrong with gooning

Just to clarify: I'm a 25 year old male, I have a good full-time job, I exercise frequently and have legit hobbies/interests. I'm not a (complete) loser.

However, I LOVE gooning and masturbating (NOT watching porn) I discovered those 2 things about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Before I started, I put a high level of value/interest in a women's looks when considering a potential GF. As I'm sure you're all shocked by, I have never had a girlfriend.

I don't think my overall views/attitudes towards women have changed since I started.

Also, if I wasn't gooning, I'd probably be spending that time watching TV or YouTube or playing video games.

Literally, never heard of “gooning” but my Google search says you do edging in an “excessive or indulgent way.”

Does that seem right?

If so, do you think it is wrong?

If not, then why did you choose to make a post about it? Unless, maybe you subconsciously do you think it is wrong?

Idk, I guess I just want to hear more from you personally.
