Oooh...

It's meant to be "Go on". That took me way too long, truly embarrassing amounts of onlineness. I was about to ask here what they were thinking "[to] goon" was supposed to mean. Or if this was in the henchmen lounge of the local BBEG's lair.

Well-known slang term in sexual subculture of chronic and compulsive masturbators"

Goon is a hockey term. It's based on, I think, mob culture.

Kids repurposing it is just another case of Fetch.

It was originally used for thugs, like in the Mafia.

In the context of sexual activity, it originally referred to chem sex (usually stimulants)
