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
I’m 1 and watch every day
You are too young to be watching porn 🥁 🤣
True true
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)
TIL people can imagine colour.
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
Porn is easier generally
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
Moist.
Yes
k
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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 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 don’t get this, I’m none of these. I doubt I’m special.
Do you see mental images vividly or not?
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
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.
you can visualise better coz of a head injury?
I couldn’t visualize even slightly before! Total aphantasia.
Now if I focus really hard I can briefly see images and memories. It still doesn’t come naturally but the difference is staggering.
I probably have one, but only when imagining extremely dangerous situation. Having your brain flash you with a family members falling from the stairs while holding your niece each time they take her to the room above isn’t a pleasant experience.
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 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.
