Im a 1 and i like video and images. But i can also watch movies in my head of be fantasy banging people
I’m between 4 and 5, and no, I don’t need to. I can conceptualize things pretty well, I just can’t do it visually.
WTF is this even
I assume it’s your ability to visualise things in your head. I’m the last one 🙃
Ah OK. I thought it was suggesting that Apple users are only one step away from having nothing in their heads.
This place gets to you sometimes.
It’s even worse considering Apple users have already had one bite removed.
That was also my first impression. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m the last one 🙃

How do you picture objects in your minds eye
I guess I am 1, and I do watch Itchy and Scratchy sometimes 😎 (It’s a very scary and therefore adult series)
I stopped watching kids videos at the end of my kid life. Everything I watch is adult videos now: news, math, finances, cooking
Aphantasia is neat. I have to wonder how it affects the way we see the world. I’m 1. It doesn’t really take concentration, which I see on here? it’s not any harder than just a simple internal monologue anyways. But that’s always in motion whether I want it or not so 🤷
That’s including lights and reflections, but like that’s constructed by me, and so I might imagine a light reflection incorrectly. again just like I might have a definition incorrect for internal monologue.
Anyways, sure. Imagining is part of it. Like placing yourself in the situation in front of you. I don’t need adult videos to do so though. But like, having full HD imagination doesn’t replace videos of any kind, or else I wouldn’t watch YouTube either ya knoe
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
:( You just made me realize I’m only a 3 and I’m missing out on color mode. This hurts.
Just in case you’re worried that you’re locked in – you’re not. Abstain from listening to music, watching TV, and consuming media for a week or two, and watch your brain literally glitter into life to provide you with entertainment.
If you want a more short-term solution: waking up after lack of sufficient sleep, and wandering to the bathroom in half-sleep mode should put you in a state of mind where it’s easy to “hear” a desired song playing in your head.
I assume you responded to the wrong person?
no, you hinted that you were stuck as a 3, and I’m telling you that it’s not fixed.
So when I was a child and these things didn’t exist and I wasn’t watching screens, why was it exactly the same? Why has it been the exact same at every stage of my life never weaker nor stronger? I’m just trying to get at the point that you’re full of shit and probably pulled that straight out of your own ass.
This is a public discussion. I was offering my two cents on how you or others could better their position on visualisation. I don’t quite understand where the hostility is coming from, but you coming back with your own two cents on being hard-wired naturally means that my advice does not apply to you.
Dude, I’m a 5 lol
That’s a legitimate nightmare for me. No offense but that feels incredibly dark and bleak, I’m sorry you don’t get to see pictures in your head buddy. 🙁
It’s one of those things where I didn’t know until I was in my 30s and figured imagining things meant thinking about them and not actually seeing them.
If you don’t know what it’s like you can’t miss something, ya know? But there are experiments that are trying to give visualisations to aphantasia folk. I’m not sure I’d try it because then I would be missing something.
But, big pro: I can see absolute horrific stuff and I’ll never be able to reimagine it. Describe a vile, nasty car wreck? Can’t see it but I know it’s bad. It has weird benefits
I can imagine and 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 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.
Moist.
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.
If you think this is cool, how many inner dialogues do y’all have?
