Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a neologism for a perceptual phenomenon characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or cognitive stimuli.

It's kind of like a euphoric, tingling sensation that spreads across (parts of) your body. Apparently the science on it is undecided, but there's strong anecdotal evidence for the phenomenon's existence. It can only really be described as a kind of non-sexual orgasm that happens in response to some kind of stimulus (as above); I never knew it was controversial, I've had them really quite regularly for as long as I can remember.

I don't have it, but I find it fascinating.

I honestly never even knew people didn't feel this. I just thought it happened to everybody when they had some kind of pleasurable stimuli.

The whispering just kinda makes me uncomfortable.

I find it rather annoying. Most people seem to get it from mundane things; I don't. Whispering, ambient sounds, et cetera don't really induce any kind of tingling response in me.

Yea I got it.


Also have it when I don't like something tho

Going by that theres a bunch of songs that trigger ASMR in me <.<

I dont get tingly from anything else.

Well theres pretty much a whole genre of music that does it.

Yeah man. Got into following a lot of asmrtists on youtube after finally figuring out that it's not something just wrong with me, lol. I'd always feel it big time when I'm getting a haircut and they break out the clippers around my right ear/back of my neck, then to a lesser extent on the other side.

I think the side difference has something to do with my high freq. deficiency in my left ear.
