Why do people like ASMR?

[=CrimsoN=]

ASMR = Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response

In a nutshell, "sound orgasms". There are hundreds (maybe thousands) of videos on YouTube that appeal to ASMR and they range from people making whispering, tapping, popping and all sorts of assorted sounds that stimulate senses.

And these videos can go on for a good 30 minutes or so. I don't get it. What is the appeal?

Can anyone who listens to ASMR shed some light on a non-believer?

Because it relaxes people, probably by rhythmically neurologically encouraging them to let go of tension. It also takes said individuals attention away from other thoughts or distractions, and has them paying attention to the sounds and person who is perofrming the ASMR.

If a person can convince themselves that a person or sounds associated with this technique is important and relevant at the time, it's no wonder that people enjoy it. When someone can get into a rhythm, it generally has a relaxing effect because the body works according to rhythms.

Weird. I guess I just can't focus. I don't really understand meditation either. I know it helps some people, but I just can't get any benefit from it. Muslce relaxation helps me though. I almost feel like I have to be actively doing something to relax myself.

[Potatosniper]

aparently they feel a tingle in the back of their head that feels nice. For me it just creeps me out

I can understand the ASMR tingles thing, I can get it too sometimes. But the eating thing makes we want to go postal.

They're playing the hentai games while listening.

Because it gives them the tingles.
