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

I have been diagnosed with aphantasia, so I'm a 5. I have no ability to visualise anything in my head, I was in my 40s before I realised that "minds eye" is not a metaphor for most people.

I don't get this, I'm none of these. I doubt I'm special.
I stopped watching kids videos at the end of my kid life. Everything I watch is adult videos now: news, math, finances, cooking
I'm 1, and no, not really. But that's more for ethical reasons.
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.
Im a 1 and i like video and images. But i can also watch movies in my head of be fantasy banging people
I guess Iβm 1. No, I donβt watch βadult videoβ.
I already have a decent amount of masturbation addiction, and I donβt want to make it worse.
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.

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