ASMR stand for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. I had never heard of this before, so I thought I might investigate and report to TUM readers.

According to WebMD

“Autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR, causes a tingling sensation in your head and neck after triggers like repetitive movements or whispering. Most people describe the tingling as very relaxing, even pleasurable.”

“The tingling of ASMR starts in the head and neck, and it can sometimes move to your arms and legs. It may also happen in waves or pulses.”

Some things that might trigger it?

Hair brushing
Folding towels
Flipping magazine pages
Whispering
Rain
Light tapping
Crisp sounds, like crunchy leaves or biting into an apple
Slow movements

So it is not a sex thing, but yet they have porn for it. In fact, the porn sites now feature ASMR porn videos. These are not the traditional humping style things.

I watched a few seconds of one, it was oddly attractive. Not sure I can explain it.

Weird.

What Is Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response?

ASMR is supposedly nonsexual. So why is there so much ASMR porn? – “Anything that’s pleasurable has some sort of sexuality in it.”
