A radical masturbatory idea?

Do you ever just masturbate to your own imagination? I know, crazy, right? I'm pretty sure everyone on Reddit is a porn/dopamine addict.

But I keep getting all these app suggestions for cognitive training and I was looking into it and learned that your brain treats vividly imagined experiences similarly to real ones neurologically.

So wouldn't it be more useful to just close your eyes and imagine something and simultaneously improve your neuroplasticity than to have to spiral into more and more extreme pornographic content to illicit your dopamine fix?

Maybe unimaginative people may struggle? But they could theoretically build their imaginative ability with practice I think. Is being porn free actually a mental and hormonal cheat code? Like imagination maxing or something?
