Achieving Trance State
Common Methods:
- Extended edging over hours
- Continuous exposure to arousing content

Comparison to Other Altered States
The gooning trance shares similarities with:
- Meditation: Single-pointed focus and present-moment awareness
- Flow state: Complete absorption in an activity

However, it is distinct in being sexually motivated and arousal-dependent.
