First of all we have to know the meaning of Gooning, its a slang word of doing Masterbation while watching Adult Content.
In India there is a huge rising problem of Gooning or i can simply says a problem of consuming Adult content, India is has consistently rising in top rank of watching adult content on different websites. In 2018 India was the 3rd largest country of watching adult content which is NOT a "proud" movement for us, and due to this government of India bans on many Adult websites,
A self-reported survey in urban Haryana found that 63% of youths watch explicit content, with 74% accessing it via mobile phones. Around 89% of Indians access Adult Website via Mobile phone in 2019 which also shows the boom of increase of smartphones that time.
During 2020 in Covid-19 Lockdown India have Spike rate of increase of 95% of internet traffic on adult website. in a survey of UDAYA survey (Bihar/Uttar Pradesh) 47% of adolescent boys (from 15 to 19 years old) and 6% of Adolescent girls are reported have exposed to the excplicit contents.

Female viewers made up about 30% of traffic in older reports (2015–2018), higher than the global average at times. One survey of 8,000 women/girls noted 49% learned about sex from those Adult Website.
From 2017 when Jio Introduce a cheap internet most of Indians have bought it because of "unlimited" internet and after that in our country sees the rising of traffic in website.
I'm not saying that interent is not a bad place but, it have both thing good and bod and it is upto us to choose what id good and what is bad, for entertainment there are many things we can do like follow different hobby which helps to growth but most of people not only in India but also other country people choose a cheap dopamine source for entertainment,
I also see many people who gets in addiction of watching those content and worse of them they couldn'tstop to watching those content some try but they never fully recover from it only few people gets recoverd from that addiction, and consuming Adult content is new drug of 21st century, and we need to control over it.
what we should do ?
we have to spread awareness about it, we have to do better sex education, and digital literacy, and parents need to constantly check devices of there children.
