For me, an ideal porn experience is all about watching two (or more) people in the nude and having sexual intercourse.
But recently, I found out that there’s a less explicit version of porno. It’s called ASMR porn or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. Some people call it simplicity-whisper porn.
And since I was really curious about what it’s all about, I didn’t hesitate to give it a try. Upon watching my first ASMR material, I realized that it can help me relax (which is the major purpose of this genre). I was given gentle audio recordings, tapping on hard surfaces noise, lip-smacking, white noise, whispers, and more.
After a while of watching, I fell into an almost trance-like state of relaxation. And whether you believe it or not, this is actually a huge business online.
I even tried looking it up on YouTube by typing ASMR on the search box and I was greeted by tons of videos and most of them were starred by women. Some of them were brushing over the microphone and pretending to give me a massage. That’s when I realized that one of the major triggers of ASMR is personal attention. I guess that’s the reason why haircut videos are popular.
Even with all the overwhelming proof about this ASMR stuff, I was still in doubt about its existence in the industry and in the online world in general. I mean, I really don’t understand why such minimal sounds can help us get off.
However, when I stumbled upon channels of Gentle Whispering ASMR and ASMR Darling who both have over a million followers, I started believing. Upon checking the uploaded vids, I saw one that featured a woman eating pickles. And what’s surprising about it is it has more than 5 million views! Amazing, right?
That said, I guess ASMR porn is actually a hit and not some weird niche for oddballs on the internet. In fact, it even gave me some mind orgasm.
What are the triggers of ASMR?
Since this topic got me curious, I decided to do my research about the triggers of ASMR.
According to Mary Ellen Wells, Ph.D. director, and assistant professor at the Neurodiagnostics and Sleep Science University of North Carolina, ASMR is a tingling sensation. It can be felt on the neck, scalp, and sometimes spreads to the back and limbs. People who engage in ASMR materials may feel relaxed and a positive (or almost euphoric) emotion.
Moreover, I learned that sensations can be triggered by sensory stimulation like touch, auditory, and visual.
In touch, ASMR is triggered with gentle touching such as having a manicure or getting hair brushed.
In auditory, it can involve listening to soothing and soft voices like brushing and whispering.
And lastly, in visual, it can include watching people concentrate on a certain task like folding the laundry.
I can say that it’s way different from POV pornography where women can be uncomfortably spreading their legs and telling you how much they love your package. In ASMR, things are more intimate and interactive which helped me achieve braingasms.
ASMR and Sexual Stimulation
I admit that I really didn’t believe that ASMR can help me get off at first. But then I realized that I can’t get to know the tingling sensation they’re talking about if I don’t give it a try. And boy, was I shocked when I knew how it felt.
I think I can compare it with the goosebumps I experienced while I was listening to an inspirational speech or an epic song. However, the thing is, only 5% of the people watching ASMR stuff do it for sexual stimulation. And according to psychologists, this can be due to the fact that every individual varies in “flow states”. People can experience a natural high from various activities such as violence, sex, or exercise. For the members of the ASMR community, they get their sexual stimulation from listening to soothing audios.
On top of that, some researchers believed that the stimulation can be connected to the desire of being groomed. That said, it might be possible that some people who are getting sexual pleasure from ASMR YouTube videos may not only be after the soft whispers of the pretty girls. Perhaps the brains also have a way of turning those soothing sounds into a physical feeling.
Here’s my final say
Do you want to find out if you can achieve a braingasm through watching ASMR clips?
If that’s so, then go ahead and search for an ASMR flick online. Make sure that you put your earphones on before you click to play to get an optimum experience.
