Hey everyone, I hope everyone is doing well with your goals. One of the problems that can keep us using porn is that masturbation can seem really boring, even impossible to complete, without it. People with weaker or undeveloped visualization skills understandably rely on external stimulation more, but the stronger our visualization skills, the more realistic and satisfying our imagination becomes, hopefully leading to more fruitful sessions with ourselves.

The biggest thing that helped me was writing down my own scenarios and I recommend others do they same to help strengthen these skills. They can be as complex or as simple as you need them to be. Try to be detailed. Describe your partner, the surroundings, and the actions as vividly as you can. I picture the scene and write as descriptively as I can. Usually while I'm doing this I think of more things to add and the whole thing ends up taking a life of its own.

A good way to practice is to spend 10 minutes (or more) every night before you go to sleep trying to visualize things. Try to imagine yourself in a room where you live. See the color of the wall, the floors, and any furnishings the room has. Try changing the color. Can you make those white walls light blue instead?

Don't stop at just the visuals. Can you smell the room? Can you feel the carpet or bare floor on your feet? Think of your favorite song, can you hear it your head? Try and make the conversation and noises in your erotic imagining just as clear. Can you think of your favorite meal? What does it taste like? Is it hot in your mouth? What does it smell like?

I found it helpful to focus on each sense independently and then put them together. Try imagining yourself in the same room, with your favorite song playing, eating your favorite meal. It's complex and there are a lot of moving parts, but a little practice every day will add up.

When I started this I had trouble combining everything, so I started writing my scenarios down. I'd focus on one sensation at a time. What does my partner taste like? How do they smell? Are their hands soft and lotioned against my skin or are they rough and calloused? I'd write the answers to those questions (and many more) and then craft a 1,000ish story around that. Eventually I got to the point where I don't really write the stories anymore, just going over the prep work in my head is enough to get an engaging scene unfolding in my head.

I'm certainly not as good at visualization as some people I've seen on here, so any and all advice is appreciated!
