    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.

    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.

    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

    Without any explanation whatsoever, I had to rely on other comments to figure out what the hell you were asking.

    I’m probably a 1.5, and yes I watch porn.

    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.

    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 was a 5 before my head injury, now I think I’m a 3 if I close my eye and really focus on it.

    But also? I’ve liked adult literature the entire time. “Visualization” is overrated.

    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.

    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

      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.
