This is a completely subjective, yet somehow measurable scale of how precious, wanky, artsy-fartsy, self-indulgent, too-kewl-for-skewl, deliberately obscure, contrived, psuedo-intellectual…you get my drift…basically anything pretentious…is. If it seems to fit any of the aforementioned descriptions, then it is often claimed to have a "High Wank Factor".

But this scale is not merely restricted to putting the mockers on the clever-dick types, oh, no! Also plebians who partake in the pursuit of pop culture aren't spared from being rated on the wank factor: the ones who get a high score amongst the various sub-cultures of mainstream society include the right-wing commentariat, all who are involved in reality TV, lifestyle shows, boy bands, advertising, etc., wiggaz pooncing about in Wu-Tang or FUBU, rice burner Lancers or Civics that have still have drainpipe mufflers with the base carby engine…list goes on…basically, any jumped-up pleb thinking they're more sophisticated than the rest of the common herd.
1. Some people would claim that many of the radio programmes featured on ABC Radio National have a high wank factor.

2. Yeah, that wannabe Lancer GL-pretending-to-be-a-Lancer Evo VII is sooo lame, scoring high on the wank factor for it's pissy little rear drum brakes showing behind the licorice-strapped 20-inch wheels, bouncing off the road with its doof-doof from its subwoofer.

Get the Wank Factor mug.
A scale describing the intensity that one masturbates. The wank factor has a total of 9 levels (1=lowest, 9=highest). Wank factors 1-3 are generally slow placed, while wank factors 4-6 are the average rates that people usually masturbate. Wank factors 7-9 are angry, violent, and furious whackings, which may result in some minor damage to your genitalia. The term can also be used to describe the speed that guitar players and drummers perform, since both instruments require much wrist movement.
1. By the time I reached Wank Factor 7, I had to switch hands.

2. Muhammed Suiçmez from Necrophagist is so insane, his wrist is permanately set to wank factor 9!

3. I needed to pass the time, so i just stayed at wank factor 2 till i fell asleep.
