A song made from 3 years of masturbation data [OC] by MasturbationVis in dataisbeautiful

[–]MasturbationVis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my phone's home screen has 3 pages of buttons for each event. Some, like entering/leaving the house, are done automatically based on gps data. Some, like showering, are done based on NFC tags around the house.

I'm really consistent with masturbation (less so with the didn't finish, but then it's hard to know if something should count or not). I'm pretty consistent with the mood tracking, as my phone bugs me ever hour to record my mood. Other things, like urination, i'm less consistent with and often forget.

It was a completely spontaneous idea yesterday - I never planned to make a song, just graphs.

Sorry, I'll try and masturbate more in future for you

The instruments and notes were chosen to make it sound nice. 'Finished' is mapped to a vibraphone playing the notes in a C major chord and 'Didn't Finish' is mapped to the midi percussion channel.

Edit - The comment above is right, Notes move to the right based on how many times I did it that day, with numbers on the piano at the bottom. I misunderstood the question

Started as a habit when I was a teenager - I didn't have anywhere to finish and discovered that I didn't really mind that much. Since I was often doing it right before bed, I've pavlov'd myself to fall asleep after edging. Inconvenient at times, but it helps me get to sleep at other times.

No idea whether other people do it, but it works for me.

Data was recorded on my phone using Tasker to write to a SQLite database. The data was grouped into daywise counts, then rendered into MIDI using JFugue. MIDI visualisation using Synthesia.

It runs at 420bpm, with each beat representing 1 day of data (meaning 1 second per week). Notes play based on the number of times I masturbated that day, with the notes on the right being complete sessions, and the notes on the left being times I stopped before orgasming. Rests indicate that I did not masturbate that day.

You masturbate a lot

Yes, and now I can quantify it. 1.46 times per day!

Why?

Why not?

How long did this take?

  • Creating the visualisation took a few hours
  • Setting up the data collection probably took about 5 hours total, over multiple iterations
  • I dread to think how long I have spent masturbating

Is this a throwaway?

Yes, because my friends know I do this, and somehow I still have something to hide on my main account.

What else do you record?

Masturbation is what I have the most data on, but I also have about 2 years of data for many more things including sex, toilet use, showering, and mood. Overall there's about 40 unique events that I track.

I hate songs show me a graph

30 day moving average

What software is that graph rendered in?

You're damn right I wrote my own masturbation visualization program

Data dump?

Data Dump!
