From WIRED on-line, “The Gooner Music Video Boom Is Here”, by Jason Parham on 6/26/26, in summary:
Porn music videos have circulated on the fringes of the internet for years. Featuring everything from narrative-driven stories to hypnosis, they are proliferating across X as “bate fuel” for gooners.
Background from this blog: from my 6/8/26 posting “I’m a big gooner”:
a sexual verb goon, agent noun gooner, and activity noun gooning are all, according to Merriam-Webster online, recently coined (with goon‘s first known uses from about 2005). As is common with recent coinages, especially of markedly slangy or taboo nature, these items are highly variable in their reference (people play with them), taking in a range of uses — in this case, at least 5 distinguishable uses, all having to do, in some way or another, with masturbation.
… [goon-1] vulgar slang masturbate, especially: to masturbate for a prolonged period of time without orgasm in order to maintain a state of arousal [that is, masturbation with edging…]
(I am not a gooner in this sense, despite the title of my 6/8 posting — not my style of masturbation, or of trance-induction, for that matter. But to each his own. And I don’t see such gooning as more wasteful of time and attention than, say, hard-core sports fandom, though it is possible to reach unwise levels of engagement.)
And then from the body of the WIRED piece:
… Porn music videos (PMV) have circulated in fringe corners of the internet for years, shared profusely, and almost exclusively, among invite-only Discords and message boards. But across the past year, as gooning has exploded in the zeitgeist, PMVs have also broken containment. In more recent months, the format has undergone a kind of renaissance on X where they have found massive audiences.
For gooners, the subculture of young men who love to endlessly masturbate to internet porn, they have become the ideal form of “bate fuel,” a propellant that keeps them edging for hours.
Though PMVs vary widely, the videos are typically fan-made edits centered around a specific theme, fetish, storyline, adult performer, or content creator (e-girls are a favorite among straight gooners). A single video, which can run up to four or five minutes, is jammed to the gills with dozens, if not hundreds of clips, which are pulled from porn that has already been posted online. From there, editors synchronize their clips to a trance-inducing type beat (techno, EDM, and hip-hop genres are among the most popular choices).
Note on EDM from Wikipedia:
Electronic dance music (EDM), also referred to as dance music or club music, is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres originally made for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. It is generally produced for playback by DJs who create seamless selections of tracks, called a DJ mix, by segueing from one recording to another. EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting … Since its inception EDM has expanded to include a wide range of subgenres.

It might be interesting to see some of these. Not sure they could or would enhance what I already do…

Since I experience, and study, alternative states of consciousness, I find the topic intriguing, but I’m not sure I have the patience for them. And what I already do (or, better, what happens to me now) is already plenty spectacular — sexual ecstasy every so often, which is fabulous news for an 85-year-old.
