1 and yes normally. But I have sometimes had extended spells of no internet or computer access in which case I’ve used my own mind.
Yes, why?
pet theory: porn is for people who can’t fantasise
I disagree, I can fantasize, but sometimes I’m too lazy
One thing I’m learning from this thread is maybe some people can visualise but it takes them effort?
Strange to imagine minds that are not one’s own.
I mean, one thing is to imagine an apple, imagining moving people is on a while another level.
Imo its just a different thing.
Like, 1 or 2 here with sort of moving images like memories, sounds, conversations.
I still listen to interviews despite being able to make up convos in my head. I watch comedy despite being able to make up jokes and funny stories.
I watch movies despite being able to visualise whatever i want.
I mean for me it’s like a checklist. But it goes by fast. Like I’ll list the characteristics and then apply them to a kind of “3D model” in my head.
Or I’ll just use past objects from my memory. I’ve seen lots of apples in my life, lol.
I stopped watching kids videos at the end of my kid life. Everything I watch is adult videos now: news, math, finances, cooking
1 or 2 I guess? Also what’s wrong with watching adult videos?
They are assuming you can visualize what ever you want and don’t need the videos
I guess I am 1, and I do watch Itchy and Scratchy sometimes 😎 (It’s a very scary and therefore adult series)
At a 2, I have but don’t regularly.
3 or 4, but I can ‘see’ the geometry and motion of one or more objects interacting with each other or the environment. Rotation, deformation, shear, impact etc.
It is less so that I can ‘see’ and more that I can ‘feel’ and visually conceptualize that sensation in my mind. Albeit not ‘vividly’.
That might lend itself to other things
I guess I’m 1. No I don’t watch “adult video”.
I already have a decent amount of masturbation addiction, and I don’t want to make it worse.
I’m a one and yes. That part of my brain has a direct line to the input somehow, and can’t be fooled by a mere mind-picture.
I’m interested in how women would answer, because men seem to be way more visual, and women more conceptual, even across orientations.
Up to 1 with effort. My fiancee is a 5, which if I hadn’t already known beforehand that that’s even possible, I would have been surprised to learn.
Im a 1 and I like adult content but i especially like games, 3D and traditional animation. Cause yeah, i can go in the spank bank in my head if I need to, but its never gonna be as fantastical as what an animator can do
People are not all one? Do yo really imagine grey potatoes when someone says apple.
It’s a new fad ailment like the magically disappearing “gluten intolerance” epidemic. People with no personalities substitute these things instead. See also “neurodivergence” etc.
Neurodivergent is a huge spectrum we’re still figuring out. But what do you mean by fad ailment.
Genuinely curious about this scale, I’m sure there would be 4s and 5s but expect majority to be 1 or 4 depending on their context when they hear ‘Apple’
Maybe start using a word when it has some meaning then.
But what do you mean by fad ailment.
“…like the magically disappearing “gluten intolerance” epidemic. People with no personalities substitute these things instead.”. It’s the height of fashion to have a minor ailment these days. Particularly if it’s an unprovable one like this absurd nonsense.
huh?
I have been diagnosed with aphantasia, so I’m a 5. I have no ability to visualise anything in my head, I was in my 40s before I realised that “minds eye” is not a metaphor for most people.
So, I worked in a job shop, I would draw things up in CAD and leave everything the default grey texture. then the customer would say “I don’t want it to be grey. I want it [wood, gold, magenta plaid, whatever]” and I would say “Yeah I’m going to make it out of [whatever], I’m just confirming the physical design.” and they would reply “I can’t see it.”
Is that you?
I’m still coming to terms of people who don’t think visually, there are people who think in grayscale??
Yes but not every time. I can get there just by fantasizing but sometimes it’s nice not to think about it. I also like written erotica more than most men seem to and I think it’s because of how vividly I can visualize it.
Written erotica often gets me going better than videos because many videos are annoying and a turn off.
Nah, I don’t use apple devices for watching porn
Wtf are you asking?
It’s about ability to visualise things mentally.
I don’t think there’s a lot of research on it, but it’s a way to measure aphantasia, the inability to picture something in your mind. I’m a 4 and didn’t actually know anything higher existed until I started talking to other artists.
yes because most of the time, it feels better to be able to turn my brain off.
But I am able to use stuff like AI Dungeon as an alternative if I need it.
