ASMR

TINGLE MONSTERS from Alexandra Serio on Vimeo.

Ok, so I had no fucking idea what ASMR was so I ran to Google to get an education, of course:

ASMR
An acronym for “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.”
The sole purpose of ASMR is to relax people. The ASMR community is constantly growing on Youtube. Ideally, ASMR videos are meant to give the viewer a relaxing tingle at the back of their head and/or spine. ASMR videos usually involve one or more of the following things:

• Gentle whispering
• Relaxing hand movements
• Smacking of the lips
• Nail tapping/scratching on hard surfaces such as tables
• Brushing sounds
• Etc.

I had heard about ASMR from my YouTubers because some have joked about it, but this little short film brought it back to the forefront. It's something that kind of beeped in my radar but it never really caught on. I was guessing some straight men (and some women) would enjoy a woman whispering things in his (their) ear, but I cannot really get into it. A woman whispering things and eating/making noises/tapping/etc does nothing for me. NOTHING. Duh.

So of course I went down the rabbit hole and looked for men doing ASMR and of course I found some! I tried it first just looking at the men and then with my trusty earphones. Looking at attractive men is always a plus and I think I kind of liked it with earphones but the whole whispering thing gets old to me after a minute. Also, I discovered that the smacking of the lips (or eating!!) thing is definitely not my thing. Nope. I can deal with an attractive man whispering things in my ear (sure thing to get me going, along with other little things) but that does not relax me! I get turned on, not sleepy! The tingle I get is to mingle. Maybe it's just me?

And that short film is very scary.

So are you relaxed yet?
