Most people have probably never heard of ASMR, but it's a thing. You can find it on the internet, on youtube.

It probably isn't related to sex at all. I am mentioning it because I think it feels better than sex. If you are susceptible, it can get you hypnotized and in a blissful state.

Since I found out about ASMR, I became less interested in sex. I don't know if that's just a coincidence.

No guy would agree with your statement just an FYI.

Creepy and weird YouTube videos. They don't trigger a response for me. Metal touching my neck like scissors during a haircut do. It's kind of neat, not close to sex

So, sounding like New Age whatever means it isn't real?

Yes, a lot of them are creepy or weird or disgusting. I hate most of them. But there are a small number of ASMR geniuses that I have found. Some of them get millions of views. So this isn't just me. And a lot of the comments are written by men.

Yeah it's strange what gets the most views on YouTube. There's this genre of video but for some reason people call mukbang which just means eating from what I can gather. And it's some young man or young woman sitting in front of the camera stuffing their gob sometimes for an hour and those videos have millions of views.

All I know is ASMR videos don't work for me because it is not auditory stimulus that triggers it, it's tactile and often related to temperature for me.

I hate those eating videos. A lot of ASMR videos are eating.

I get triggered by certain kinds of touch also. But watching and hearing certain videos is ecstasy. I used to watch the old Bob Ross painting lessons on youtube, not knowing they were the original inspiration for ASMR. The way he talks, the sound and sight of the paint brush on canvas.

Those are now known as "unintentional ASMR."

I would like to know what percentage of people get triggered by ASMR. Almost no one I asked in real life gets it.

I think that would be a lot of different triggers for it. One that gets a lot of people and probably why this function exists in us is something crawling on you, like a bug.

Oh no! That's a horrible feeling.

I think maybe ASMR goes back to primates grooming each other, looking for bugs. I like to watch videos of that.

Huh, I sometimes forget people's revolsion if insects. Something I don't share with many people. I love all manner of creepy crawlies

Also I don't derive pleasure from ASMR, it's just an interesting response

Oh, to me it's one of the greatest pleasures of life. Always, since I was a child. But it's not easy for me to find perfect triggers.

You love having creepies crawling on your skin? Ugh!

I didn't find it unpleasant, just peculiar. Sometimes even triggering an involuntary shiver. I also experience it when I'm initiating fight or flight responses though it seems a little different in that instance. It's a very similar response.

I love picking them up, watching their legs and body movements. If I were to persue an academic study it would be entomology. Ever since I was a little boy I'd pick up roly-polies and watch them walk along my fingers. I had to be carful with caterpillars because some in the area I grew up in sting. But grasshoppers spiders scorpions and beetles all fascinate me. Like toads and snakes too. I managed to get someone afraid of bugs to like and even appreciate cicadas.

I agree those creatures are fascinating, and beautiful in a way. I just don't want them creeping on me.
 
I understand that. They simply trigger the ASMR response in me but only when I'm not expecting it.

Millipedes are the number one culprit.

You mean you tingles on the back of your neck when they crawl on you?

I'm not even sure if I get tingles. Maybe sometimes. But it's mostly a happy blissful state of pleasure.

A very common them among ASMR lovers is our memory of getting checked for head lice in elementary school. And there are lots of role-playing youtube videos where they pretend to check your head for lice.

I like replicate the feeling with Sudafed and Nyquil..

Nyquil is gooood. Probably causes brain damage it's so strong. There were times when I enjoyed having a bad cold, because I had a reason to take it.

It doesn't have to be the back of my neck it can be the back of my knee. And no I don't mean it just tickles where they are although it does. It also causes that tingling in my scalp that runs down my neck which is what I understand ASMR is.

Head lice exams didn't cause that for me. Hair cuts did though
 
When I first read about ASMR, I knew exactly what was being described.

It's hard to say whether it's more pleasurable than an orgasm. In my case I'd say the peak intensity of the pleasure of the latter is greater, but ASMR can last for well over a minute. It's also a very different type of pleasure.

I sometimes experience ASMR while taking phone surveys. No idea why.

ASMR causes tingling in the neck, shoulders, and back, but not all tingling is ASMR. It's accompanied by a strong feeling of happiness or contentment.

You'll definitely know what it is if you've experienced it.

From what I read about it, it may cause euphoria. I don't feel euphoria, but it isn't an unpleasant experience even when it's triggered by fear.

Some people confuse it with the tingling one feels when a limb "wakes up" after going to sleep, or bashing one's funny bone, or gets goosebumps in the cold.

Now I don't know; medically, these things may be considered ASMR. But for me they don't remotely resemble ASMR. Not all tingles, shivers, and willies are made the same.
