I have aphantasia. I’m not blind and could watch porn but I’d much rather just talk it out in my mind lol. I’m imagining my experience is probably similar to that of blind people.
Hey, that’s rad. I also have aphantasia, and found out about it from a post on Lemmy, of all places. Legitimately thought I was being pranked until I started asking some real life friends about their mental images. It was like being told that actually, the TV I think I’m watching is just a radio broadcast, and everyone else’s is much cooler.
As far as I can tell, I have visual dreams. At least what I remember of them. I’ve also noticed having internal visual imagery on certain drugs. Mainly hallucinogens, but also on phenobarbital which is used for alcohol withdrawal.

Out of curiosity, what are dreams like for you? Is that also just a stream of sounds without images?
