No fap and the whole new age mystical sex retention nonsense is a cancer on society.

Literally a cancer in terms of prostate cancer

I've heard it turns you blind, makes your palms hairy and causes insanity and moral degradation

I think with anything sexual there's a tendency for many people to either overstate or understate the effects, and to some extent reverse cause and effect — that because of the taboo around sex that people can't think about sex with a cool head. Like I listen to HealthyGamer's concerns about gooning, and to me it doesn't really seem like there is much of anything fundamentally new or inherently bad about it, that the main problem with gooning is really just the context it exists within of this whole patriarchal masculinity in service of capitalism. Take that context away and all you're really left with in gooning is a specific way of getting yourself off, which might cause harm under certain conditions or when done in excess, but like, you can say the same about most things.

Awww fuck what the hell is “gooning”

Shit fuck this is another internet thing that I don’t get. I’m getting old, can’t deny it any longer

I tried to ask copilot this question just to see what it would say and it started actually answering it correctly but once it was about a sentence and a half in, it immediately replaced all the text with "let’s try a different topic" he-laughed

if you really want to know (from what I know)it's basically edging for an extended period, sometimes for multiple hours)

Great! Presumably used in the context of pron and another thing destroying brains that we’ve collectively turned into a meme along with microplastics

Death to western society as always

The serious gooners will have "goon caves" where they have like a 180 degree radius of screens around them with different videos playing.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
