:( You just made me realize I'm only a 3 and I'm missing out on color mode. This hurts.

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. πŸ™

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

Do you see mental images vividly or not?

People are not all one? Do yo really imagine grey potatoes when someone says apple.

I'm still coming to terms of people who don't think visually, there are people who think in grayscale??

I stopped watching kids videos at the end of my kid life. Everything I watch is adult videos now: news, math, finances, cooking

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 5 points 4 months ago

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

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 guess I’m 1. No, I don’t watch β€œadult video”.

I already have a decent amount of masturbation addiction, and I don’t want to make it worse.

I'm 1, and no, not really. But that's more for ethical reasons.

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.

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.

[–] robotElder2@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 months ago

Written erotica often gets me going better than videos because many videos are annoying and a turn off.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

I'm a 1 and of course I do. Imagination is like playing with dolls. You already know everything going on. It's not the same as watching something made by other people.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

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

[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

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
