"Porn MP" Neil Parish has threatened to run as an independent candidate in a by-election in his old seat.
The disgraced politician was forced to quit last month after he admitted to watching pornography on his phone in the Commons chamber.
Mr Parish claimed he had accidentally stumbled upon the X-rated videos while searching for farm machinery, before doing so deliberately a second time.
Allies claimed the former farmer may have been looking for a brand of combine harvester, known as a Dominator.
His resignation triggered a by-election in his Tiverton and Honiton constituency, which has been Conservative since it was created in 1997.
But Mr Parish has now suggested he could run again as an independent candidate, against his former party.
"It is an option for me and one I could consider, the only thing that may well stop me is the fact that my local party, my local activists, my local councillors, all which are friends, I don't know if I want to do that to them," Mr Parish told the Telegraph's Chopper's Politics podcast.
"Some of the hierarchy of my own party I suppose I wouldn't have the same problem in doing it. At the moment I'm taking soundings. I can raise the money, yeah, yeah.
"I don't think I would have any problem in doing all that. I've got some quite powerful backers in the farming community.
"I don't think I'm going there - but it is an option."
The move could risk splitting the Tory vote and handing victory to the Liberal Democrats who are eying the seat.
Mr Parish said he wanted to take some time to "let the shock of what I've done pass" and would probably breed some more cattle and puppies.
"I'll breed some more cattle, probably Herefords or Devons, my wife and I are talking about we're great dog lovers so we might breed a few puppies."
But he sought to defend his record amid allegations of misogyny in Westminster.
"One ridiculous point from me to get myself into this situation is if you ask people, you'll find no friendlier and nicer MP," the former chair of the the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs Select Committee said.
"I never accosted women, I never suggested anything - I might have jokes with them, but that's all."
The Mirror revealed that an outraged female minister complained to a meeting of Tory MPs about seeing an unnamed MP watching porn on his phone.
Mr Parish was eventually revealed to be the MP in question.
