🚨You may hear kids or teens using the slang term “gooning.”🚨
Online, “gooning” commonly refers to excessive consumption of sexual content paired with compulsive m*sturbation.
Offline, kids may use the term casually, jokingly, or as a sexual insult, without fully understanding what it actually means. Because it’s catchy slang, it can spread quickly, even among children who don’t grasp the behavior it points to.
💡If you hear it, consider it a conversation cue. Start age-appropriate conversations early, so slang terms don’t become secrets, and kids know they can come to you without fear or shame.
