This research examines “gooning” — the deliberate, trance-like edging practice of prolonged porn consumption without climax — as a meta-fetish that functions as both an addiction amplifier and a pipeline into increasingly extreme paraphilias. Within the 2021–2025 X.com (Twitter) NSFW ecosystem, gooning has evolved from a solitary masturbation technique into a communal ritual orchestrated by a small network of high-visibility creators whose accounts collectively act as internet cults of personality. Centred on figures such as @SuccuAini
(blackmail contracts, hypno-voice conditioning), @aquasamaqueen
(progressive radicalisation from standard blacked content into WBBD/beatdown archives), @pajamadolls
(repetitive “acceptance” caption loops), @S_S_Andrea
(limerence-trap emotional blackmail), and their suspended predecessor Meiji, and @Cecefem__
(overt “groomer” propaganda), this cluster uses 2DFD aesthetics, BNWO raceplay, findom tributes, and escalating violent imagery to deepen user dependency, foster identity erosion, and convert transient viewers into long-term paying devotees. By mapping the mechanisms (hypnosis files, tribute-gated content, parasocial grooming, algorithmic lock-in) and the observable progression of thousands of consumers from casual gooning into self-reported life-altering fetishes, the study treats these accounts as a live case of a modern, decentralised, profit-driven internet cult built explicitly on addiction-worsening and ideological indoctrination.
