    I was aware of the phrase and roughly what it was about. I had no idea about the Discord and some of the shared practices. I guess a lesson in not looking too deeply into the darker corners of the internet.

      That’s because the Discord in question and these supposed shared practices are thing a particular circle of friends maintain and do. Not something that is representative of a widespread cultural group.

      There’s no spiritual movement about masturbating for hours to reach a state of Goonvana, or whatever the fuck this garbage article wants to call it. There’s just people who are sick of being shamed for masturbating and otherwise celebrating sexual attraction to icons, so they’ve created a term to function as a point of counter culture. That’s it. This article tries to paint it as this unique, organized, wide-reaching cultural movement, and it’s just not.

        The Kama Sutra disagrees.
