I’m a 1, a woman if this weighs in your data collection, and the answer is, sometimes but not too often. It really depends on the mood.

It’s the same with movies really, I can fantasize about a million stories in my mind, heck I can be the protagonist but I still enjoy being unable to predict what’s going to happen even on just purely a visual level, not that porn has very intricate plots.

What puts me off most of the time is having to go through the search. I’m very picky and having to see the “wrong” type of content in order to find the “right” can really put me off or sometimes bore me.

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.

Porn is easier generally

TIL about aphantasia

Anyways, I’m between 1 - 2, and I just wanted to say that just bc I can visualize things in my head doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy seeing things with my eyes. If I was good at drawing, I definitely would draw my OCs and such

But no, I don’t watch adult videos. I just don’t really like nsfw. Maybe I’m asexual or smt, idk

Im a 1 and i like video and images. But i can also watch movies in my head of be fantasy banging people

RyanLiu ,

I’m a 1, and yes I watch porn to collect “materials” to concoct the most perfect porn in my head that no one has seen and will never see.

Being a 1 and bi is my super power. (Definitely not my dyslexia)

I’m looking through this thread and the concept behind the picture is 100x more fascinating to me than the actual question. Is the number your maximum capability?

I’d estimate I go through the majority (90℅?) of each day at like a 4 bordering on 5, but at times I’ll move up to 2. It’s a pretty seamless transition, I don’t really have an explanation for why it only happens every so often. It’s not like it’s exclusively reserved for moments where it’s more useful.

AdNecrias ,

I don’t expect people who can vividly imagine to be doing it all the time, kinda interpreted this as a cap. Still 1-2 distinction seems odd to me. Is it cartoon to realistic?

Moghul ,

If I’m picturing anything, I usually go for 1 or 2. The difference might be in the amount of time I do it. I can just do it quick, then remember it.

I’m 1 and watch every day, though i read many books too, so everything balances out, also my work requires a lot of improvisation that makes you think on problem solving, so positive impact is bigger

frightful_hobgoblin OP ,

I’m 1 and watch every day

You are too young to be watching porn 🥁 🤣

True true

MonkeMischief ,

Reminds me of that “I am 12 years old and what is this” meme lol

Pilferjinx ,

I don’t get this, I’m none of these. I doubt I’m special.

frightful_hobgoblin OP ,

Do you see mental images vividly or not?

Pilferjinx ,

I “see” symbolic representations. They’re rich and infused with all the physical senses with computational gestalt union. These words fall so much short to what I think I experience though

bitfucker ,

Damn, I imagine how you would try to imagine a higher dimensional construct.

DeaDvey ,

TIL people can imagine colour.

meanmon13 ,

TIL some people can visualize but it’s in black & white or devoid of color all together.

For me, I can visualize things from 2 up to entire scenes. I don’t “see” it like with my eyes, it’s like a dream, sometimes a vivid dream.

LittleBorat2 ,

I could dream up a scene right now involving me buying 20 photorealistic apples in a store I often go to. I thought this is normal and everyone does that.

And009 ,

TIL color is not the default mode for everyone

Moghul ,

Yes

I think I am a 5. I feel like I am imagining an apple but then I am not sure whether I “see” the thing I am imagining or not. It’s weird.

If you were seeing the thing it would be there, in front of your eyeballs.

blindbunny ,

If you think this is cool, how many inner dialogues do y’all have?

bysmuth , (edited )

I can imagine an apple like in 1, maybe not with light reflections, but with colors and can rotate it around. But it takes a lot of concentration and effort and i’m never really sure if i’m just conceptualizing it.

I’d like to ask a different question. If you imagine something disgusting (like biting into a rotten, moldy apple) do you feel disgust? I always found it super weird when people feel disgusted at hearing a description of something disgusting and involuntarily imagining it. Meanwhile i have to do a concious effort and even then doesn’t evoke nearly the same response as seeing something real

wuphysics87 ,

Moist.

JokeDeity ,

I think it’s only a small percentage that do this as a norm, but I think if you have a personal connection to the thing being described it can trigger a reaction like that in a much larger group of people. As an example: if you’ve traumatically broken a specific bone you’re more likely to cringe at a story about someone else breaking that bone than a person who’s never broken any bones.

bitfucker ,

I do have a vivid imagination, but when I imagine doing something disgusting voluntarily I can anticipate it. Not so much when I imagine it from hearing or reading a story and in the middle of imagining things.

And009 ,

The disgust can be triggered from memories of foul smell, taste and how their parents reacted even.

Not necessarily a reaction coming from visualing a brown apple. Hope that clear it a bit.

Etterra ,

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.
