I went with the just watching porn but as many have already said it really is several of the choices listed depending on what mood I’m in. I suppose the 2nd option would be remembering past events.
You come here often?
Depends on whether there is visual stim material or not. And, if there IS, whether it consists of still shots or video.
If no images, I’m usually conjuring up in my head some short little scene that has visual and emotional and sensory elements. Usually a short little virtual loop that I replay while I play.
If still images, same thing except that the image in front of me is going to be the centerpiece of what I conjure up, and I’m going to impart some attitude or motivation to she who is thusly pictured.
If video, I mostly just get absorbed in the video. I might imagine something different from what was actually plotted out in the video if it’s a sexy scene but a stupid rationale.
It’s strange that you made the jump to patting me on the head for not using porn. I use plenty of porn, I just don’t think about it while masturbating.
There needs to be one entire poll option for “Kate Beckinsale.”
I chose “other” because I don’t often put faces on my “sex partners” while I’m masturbating.
My fantasies are almost wholly based on situations - like a gang-bang or a boss/secretary scene or something like that. Basically, it doesn’t matter who’s calling me a dirty whore

It is funny how eager we are to relate the minutiae of our lives.
I think about general scenarios, often “identifying” with both people involved. I guess I occasionally fantasize about people I know, but only if I think there is a reasonable chance that I will soon be having sex with them and I’m getting excited about the prospect.
This, or if I just saw someone really sexy earlier that day.
I have never masturbated while reading the straight dope. Don’t flatter yourself. Your posts are just not that good.
I couldn’t vote in the poll because multiple options apply.
Not strange, it’s exactly how I am about it. Why would I have to think of a person?
If you don’t have a clear preference, couldn’t you check off “other” and explain if need be what choices are tied for first place?
I chose other, simply because there isn’t an all of the above and then some option.
This is a spot where grammar matters a good deal–I can’t read Sven’s post without thinking that by using the plural noun and pronoun rather than the singular (“people” and “them” rather than “someone” and “him” or “her” or “him or her”), she’s thinking of group sex as her norm.
Hey, I’ve had some wild times wearing nothing but a Victorian doublebreasted laboratory smock.
Back To The OP
You really should have allowed multiple choices.
Like I said, first poll. I’ll get better. Glad someone picked up on my R&D joke.
I have very little to add to this thread because I don’t tend to think about very much at all (unless I just had a super-sexy dream and have to deal with the residual sexy thoughts from that), but I did feel the overwhelming urge to post to say that I’m singing the thread title to the tune of “Police & Thieves” in my head.
You know, Police and thieves in the street

(You can thank me later.)
PPR, you’re a guy, right? I bet that’s why there’s no option for “I’m not an actor in my fantasties, but a viewer” which is an extremely common theme for women’s fantasies. You know, like how many women enjoy romance novels? It works the same way when you make the story up in your head too.
Elfkin,
Why is being a viewer more common than an actor in women’s fantasies?
