You guys ever heard of ASMR?

I first came across it on DeliciousTaco's brilliant blog. Alot of people swear by it as being a great way to relax...

Just to be clear. There is absolutley nothing sexual about this. Alot of people seem to think there is when they first hear about this. So - don't go in thinking along those lines...

Oh shit! Came here because I saw ASMR in the forum Twitter feed, was not expecting a shout out. Thank you for your kind words.

This American Life just had an ASMR story as well:

Hey DT,

The ASMR video you linked to has being taken down. Shame since it is one of the better ones I have seen.

Still - I have yet to make up my mind as to how susceptible I am to this. I guess I get bored pretty easily.

Also - what sparked your Kenny Rogers obsession????

This stuff is awesome. The voice on the sides of my ear hit me the most. It actually tickled me on my obliques and I chuckled a little.

If it isn't obvious, you need headphones.

There could be something in it. Apparently ASMR is trying to recreate the feeling you get when you get a haircut (to give one example).

Which is interesting since I find haircuts incredibly relaxing.

I watch these all the time when I need to get to sleep.

Maria (the blonde in the first video) is great. She goes by gentlewhispering. She's Russian.

I like HeatherFeather. ASMRNOvastar. Whispersweetie. Northerwhispers14. Calmingescape and several more.

I've been watching them for a couple of years, but it has really exploded in the last few months. There used to be just a handful to a dozen making the videos now there are hundreds and hundreds.

The whispering from ear-to-ear is relaxing for me and some of the role plays if they are softly spoken.

I used to get ASMR when I was a kid when I watched anyone write on paper next to me. Or read a story in a gentle voice.

They seem kind of ridiculous at first, but they really work for me.

I find it easy to relax. Just put my feet up and read.

But - I know some people have trouble relaxing. So - for them - something offbeat like this might just do the trick.

I've viewed a few from this Danish Chick: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOneLilium

Some of them are kinda weird though, like she is slowly moving into femdom, now she has camera sessions. After reading "Don't Bank Denmark" I can see what Roosh is talking about in regards to Danish male betadom.

I just recently found out about ASMR.

I've been experiencing it for years though. I never had a term for it. I would just listen to videos of people talking quietly that made me "tingle".

It's basically the opposite of being frightened.

[Teddykgb]

I watch massage videos for the same type of feeling.

It really sucks though because I get so relaxed I fall asleep 5 minutes in.

The Daily Mail have a story on ASMR today. Seems there is a documentary which is being made about ASMR.

PS There must be a way of combining ASMR with chill-out music.

[Roosh]

I prefer this: http://rain.simplynoise.com/

Thunder activated.

wow - that is really good! Reminds me of being huddled up in a tent during a storm.

I put on ASMR in the background sometimes in lieu of podcasts or music. It is calming to say the least.

I've never gotten this stuff. It just sounds like noises to me.

If you stop listening to all music, avoid all artificial stimulants, don't look at any porn, and do NoFap uninterrupted for at least 7 to 14 days, you will start to reset the dopamine receptors in your brain and will hear many sounds totally differently. They will become a lot more powerful.

Your body and brain will reacquire many subtle sensations, including that of "frisson" that you lost a long time ago.

Lilium used to be decent looking but then got all pierced and I'm guessing fat, since her face ballooned up.

Here are the attractive ones:

I've used various ASMR sleep videos to fall asleep before having a girl. Now I just get a blowjob and fall asleep

More ASMR

I've watched the shaving and ear cleaning ones to doze off.

Some more selections from my ASMR playlist:

This girl is Greek:

The Scottish accent works great for making me fall asleep:

Russian chick doing tech support:

Here's a Toronto THOT:

And some random US chicks:

1980s TV show painter Bob Ross is the original old school KING of ASMR

Both his calm voice and sounds of the paint brushes on the canvas made millions watch his show before most people even knew what ASMR was.
He died back in 1995, but over 400 episodes of his "The Joy of Painting" TV show are all over youtube and still watched by millions.

Her Babblebrook series is amazing.
