Some people feel a gentle sensation from passive or ambient noises. Almost like a euphoria or a warm hug. Just hearing the sound of a pencil dragging across a sheet of paper, someone typing on a keyboard, or cardboard boxes being opened can all trigger this sensation. Its not necessarily sexual, although it can be, but it's not the goal of these videos. Theyre often used as a sleep aide or a stress reliever.

You may very well have a deep seated ASMR trigger and not even really thought about it yet. Isn't there some type of passive activity or ambient noise that makes you feel "good," almost "tingly," just hearing it?
This is the best description

I've had this since I was a child, A LONG TIME, before "ASMR" was even a thing people talked about. It was only when I was 19 or 20 that I saw people talking about it online. Until then I thought it was just me.

ASMR is a very real thing but, like with many things, it's become sexualised over the years as people realised that there was a big audience for it. At this point, I would guess that at least 50% of the content creators and viewers don't really experience the sensation but are purely in it for their own reasons.

These are some videos that trigger it for me:

Seems like another bizarre internet trend to me.
Never heard of it until 2 days ago.
Like another poster said, it seems to be most popular amongst the weird reddit,cac types.

Yeah. You just catering to this bullshyt. I can bet 100% you wouldn't listen to a white male who has a lisp who is bona-fide gay as a asmr video.

Plus, you wouldn't listen to the shyt in front of your girl either.

It's soft porn.

Plus your girl gonna look at you as a fakkit that be sucking dikk in the low if she catch you watching male asmr videos.

You very well may have a deep rooted homosexual tendacies

Most people don't watch every ASMR video tho.

When I was a kid I lived not far from a neighborhood basketball court. I remember feeling this warm sensation whenever I knew someone was on the court playing. Rather than disturb me, something about it just made me feel safe, not alone, and improved my sleep.

To this day the sound of sneakers scratching up against concrete, dribbling, and even the "swish" from a shot all helps me feel relieved and sleep. Long before I knew anything about ASMR I always loved turning on NBA on TNT or some other broadcast before bed, even if I already saw the game.

The sound of street basketball really is soothing to me and reminds me of those Saturday mornings watching cartoons in my room while children were playing outside.

When you were a kid didn't you love the sound of some sort of mundane thing while you were in bed? Like when you heard your mom in the kitchen cooking. The water running. The fire burning. The dishware clinging and clanging against each other. Or maybe your sibling has homework to do in the next room and you hear them quietly typing or writing. Or maybe you have some intimate nostalgia of being 6 years old and the sound of chalk writing or page turning just makes you feel "warm" and good for some reason.

There is a science to it. Many people do associate particular noises or activities with feeling warming, and safe which induces sleep. If a whispering female voice doesn't do it for you--I know it don't do it for me--you can watch a specific video that does.

And for the record, I don't consume this stuff but I do understand how it works.

And yes ASMR, clothing hauls, and other shyt on YouTube are sometimes exploited to sell porn (or worse). Yes I'm sure there are people who have a "fetish" or kink for it. That's understandable. And sure, of course there are pornographic ASMR videos. There's pornographic versions of literally everything on the internet.

But no, it's not a glorified front for porn or some illicit shyt. It is a legitimate form of sleep therapy.

most of these asmr artists do porn as their day job, this stuff is just how they advertise/get their content on youtube/twitch without breaking terms of service. it's 100% a sexual thing, every single stream here is about ear licking ASMR - Twitch

the top streamer's title is "ASMR - BIG ASS - BETTER PERSONALITY" :mjlol:

ion really consider the restoration channels to be asmr but this is one of my favorites, no music, no talking, no bs, just bringing well made machines back to life :wow:
