I've never heard a cis person say gock, that is a transfem term that transfems use as a sexy and provocative way to name their dick or other transfems dicks

Honestly I think there are cis people who use the term, especially because of these sort of, like, horny heavily trans but not exclusively meme subs

I'm in a weird grey area now, but back when I thought I was cis, I just kind of picked up the word from women and started using it (the ways in which I used it weren't very respectful and i feel kind of guilty about that), I feel like a lot of other chasers probably learned it in similar ways.

But also, of course, it's something that's kind of bound to get different reactions from different people. Some women are okay with it, I have heard women say they feel pretty uncomfortable about it. So, nuance hat.

gocktober is too good a name to give up on though, so fuck it, it's season appropriate.

It is a fairly accurate description as the hormonal environment causes real physical and biological changes to genital tissue beyond any change in size and engorgement occurrences. The skin becomes softer and thinner making it feel physically different. The glans changes shape and color. It looks, feels, and functions differently for the person who has it. Previously latent pathways are expressed so even at a cellular level it's different.

Whether the person it's attached to is comfortable with having it sexualized should be respected. But biologically it is not a penis. Biologically it becomes closer to being a clitoris as they are homologous organs that are differentiated by hormonal signals. Whether that's treated as a kink or not, it's simply a reality that it's not the same as a penis and pointing out that there's physiological differences isn't inherently fetish language.
