  1. What do you mean by adult video? Like, porn?

I guess I am 1, and I do watch Itchy and Scratchy sometimes ๐Ÿ˜Ž (It's a very scary and therefore adult series)

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.

I'm like a 3-ish, and I do. I equally enjoy adult books though, if that helps or complicates whatever you're trying to suss out.

When I was young, my mind was super visual. People would talk, and there would be a stream of pictures and videos in my mind. Then I got really into reading and writing and, over the years, my mine got much less visual. I still can visualize things, but it's not the way my mind really works. It's closer to an audio book, but isn't really sound, either.

Uhm, not sure where I lie on this scale I guess. Is this the real scale or some abstract representation? Personally it's a 1 or 2 for me, but the image constantly changes and is never quite stable. There can be quite some detail, but it's only very temporary. Once I focus on some other part of the apple and go back everything is different

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.

Not so much these days. I have a lot of neglected home projects that I need to get done. Can't imagine how 3 and 4s are handling things these days.

The term you are looking for is aphantasia.

Only for a 5.

I'm a 1 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 sexually visual, and women more conceptual, even across orientations.
