Personally, one of my favorites is watching someone draw an intricate drawing, perhaps while they whisper about nonsense - but there are so many different kinds to try, it would be a shame not to explore them all.īut let’s be honest - it’s kind of weird. You can find hundreds, thousands of videos under the ASMR tag which cater to every type and combination of sound and image that combine to make the perfect ASMR experience. Everything from whispering, to drawing on a piece of paper, to wrapping a present, to playing with jewelry, to eating a cookie, to Bob Ross is considered a normal trigger. Most ASMR-ers vary in what triggers them the most, but generally speaking soft, somewhat repetitive, well-defined noises work best. To an onlooker, they probably look quite strange. Yet, as with most things on the internet, if left to his or her own devices - the uninitiated passerby would assume that ASMR was sexual.
If someone were to touch you, or say something sexual, or even make sexual implications during an ASMR session, it would jerk you out of your trance completely. In fact, to confuse ASMR with something even remotely sexual ruins the entire experience. In short, we sometimes call them “orgasms for your brain.”īut they are not orgasms. For others, it results in a sort of meditative state, where your whole body is buzzing for a prolonged period of time, wave after wave of tingles coming over you. And what is that? Well, it’s essentially a tingling, buzzing, warm, relaxing sensation that runs through your brain and all over your body when triggered by a certain stimulus. Only now, through our collective experience and back-and-forth about terminology have we settled upon a name, Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, or ASMR. See, before the internet and the ensuing ability to collect amongst ourselves in warm, huddled circles, talking about the weird things that we like or that happen to us - we didn’t know ASMR was a thing. What exactly is ASMR? We should probably start there, though that often proves the hardest thing to address.
